New Thing #238: Practicing What I Preach

It angers me when people don't exercise their right to vote. I have always gone to the polls, or mailed in my ballot in some cases during in election, but I must admit I wasn't being the citizen that I should. I would only vote for the main stream items on the ballot. I will explain, I would vote for president, senator, congressmen, etc. but I would skim over amendments or propositions and not vote because I wasn't "prepared." This time it was different...I became a prepared voter. I researched amendments, school board candidates, judges and the like, so on November 4 I wouldn't leave any spots unaccounted for on my ballot.
