OT - Vote November 7th!!!
I don't speak for anyone but myself when I say that I'm thoroughly disgusted with the negative political ads floating around this election season, particularly the 'swift boat' types that come from unidentified political action groups rather than a candidate. I'm very tempted to vote FOR the candidates getting slimed by these anonymous groups, just becasue I'm feeling contrary. One ad touts a candidate as "too liberal for Oklahoma" something that I'd usually find laughable, because if anything, Oklahoma needs a stiff dose of liberalism, if only to drag it kicking and screaming into the twentieth century, let alone this one.
But put aside my bitching and moaning for a moment, and consider the duty that comes along with our right to vote. If anything, we should each have a basic idea of who our elected officials are and what they believe. An uninformed electorate is an electorate that is easily led (or misled). In an effort to counteract electoral illiteracy, the League of Women Voters has a voter's guide on their website. Now, this pertains to Oklahoma voters, but I'm sure that other states and municipalities have similar guides.
