I changed my mind

Look out!! This happens often. I am fickle that way. Our day to cast our votes and make our voices heard is here. This time around seems like it should have been here so long ago. I wonder how soon our next set of wanna be elected officials will start to campaign.

There has been a lot of hate spred around for this election as well. McCain is old, and Obama is a terrorist...blah, blah, blah. but there are so many important things that we should all be concerned about. Until this very morning I was a staunch NO on 8 supporter. I just believe that all people should have the same rights no matter what. No one should be discriminated against. And no one should question my relationship with God because of how I vote, but people do. Debates are great if you can get into them with people who are smart, passionate, and intelligent enough to argue a point without getting angry at you for your views and beliefs. There is already enough hate in the world without friends wanted to kill eachother over whats on the ballot.

Any way a lot of babble to say that I wish more people would take the time to truly research things on thier own. Lets not just take the rumors from the television and our friends. Take a minute and read, and not just the hype. Read the laws (you can look them up on google) and see for ourselves.

I did a little reading and found out that homosexuals do have rights (I didn't think that they did). They can be Domestic partners, and this affords them just about everything that a straight couple gets out of marriage, they just cant call it marriage.

For some it is just a word, but why should we call something holy that is not. Im all for equality, but I am more for what is right.

We live in a country where we are supposed to choose a majority. This already happend, and few people who probably made a lot of money over turned our decisions. We cant allow this to happen.

I changed my mind and voted YES on 8
