I have to go. I have to feel like I've done everything in my power to help Barack become our president.

Anyone else going from Southern California??

1. Wish I "had to go" to Vegas. Seriously though, good for you, and do
try to find a bit of time for some fun. I bet there are voters in the casinos and at the pools, too.

2. Good for you!
Right now, today, I'm in a phone bank doing data entry for the folks making the calls to Nevada!

We all have our jobs to do, and our niches to fill...

Congrats!

4. I'm starting to worry a bit about the Vegas vote myself. If Obama
needs me to go and help, who am I to not answer the call. ;) :toast: :patriot:

9. I'm not sure I can sleep if I don't go. I'm worried that next weekend
might be too late. yes, I'm sure of it. The Vegans need our help, and they need it now. They may need our help for the next two weeks. Allright, I'm definetely willing to help. I'll put in the time, if some duers will just help with the expenses. Everyone should do their part.

7. Of course, in the evening if other volunteers have to play a few slots
or Let It Ride, I feel it's my duty to go as well.

10. All snickering aside, you all DO realize that there is a BIG LOCAL COMMUNITY off the strip?
just a COUPLE MILLION or more...

and most of US hardly visit that place at ALL...

Did you know that Vegas has more churches per capita than any other community in the US?

but we understand your "jest" - it IS a great place to hang out!!!

Too bad I'm too busy with work and home remodelling that we don't get to enjoy it as mush as the visitors...

BUT COME ONE COME ALL - AND BE SURE TO DROP A FEW HUNDRED/THOUSAND BUCKS WHILE YOU'RE HERE - got to pay for our "taxes" after all (Nevada doesn't have ANY income taxes)...
