One week from now...

One week from now Americans will be faced with some of the most important decisions of our lifetimes.

One week from now Americans will decide what's next for the country.

One week from now we will vote.

I've been so wrapped up with work that I've slacked on posting these videos supporting the causes I strongly believe in.

One of the biggest decisions facing Californians is whether or not to take away the right for same sex couples to marry. It's a heated debate, and one that I've found discussing with my own family who are staunchly religious. There's nothing new that I can really add to the conversation, but I did find some interesting campaign videos on YouTube that might be of interest, including an interesting spin-off on a series of ads a certain Silicon Valley company — which has also come out against prop 8, along with Google — you might be familiar with…







This next one was created by a clever person who just happens to work at Pixar. Smart and adorable. Why isn't this on TV?!?



Turning attention now to the national front, we have the Presidential race featuring Obama and McCain/Palin. While neither are perfect, I really can't tolerate the deceptions the McCain/Palin campaign are passing for the truth. Not to mention, Palin is just a stroke away from running the country, and that's more of "when" than an "if." And while I'd love to see Tina Fey back on SNL every so often mocking Palin, I really don't think it's worth the havoc she'll unleash on this country. Things are bad enough already, and yes, they can get worse, and McCain/Palin will see to that.

I've never been into politics, but in the past year I've gone from passively interested to eager promoter. And so help me if anyone votes for that damn Nader jerkwad and throws their vote away. Being a fan of showtunes, I was instantly drawn to this one for the Obama campaign. Enjoy! Oh, and vote Obama.



So, what have we learned today? Vote No on Prop 8, Vote Yes for Obama.
