Oct 2012

I just mailed in my ballot.

This is the first time since coming of voting age that I have voted for a straight Democratic ticket in my state of Arizona, and the first time I have voted for a Democratic Presidential candidate ever.

For the first time ever, I did not vote in 2008 because as a then Republican, I just could not vote for Obama. I also could not vote for McCain and Palin. I may have issues with some of his policies, and I was not enamored with his Hope & Change campaign of 2008.

But I am proud to say that I just voted for four more years of President Obama.
