My Vote is in the Mail

By Norma Toering Broker for Palos Verdes and Beach Cities

Real Estate Broker/Owner with Charlemagne International Properties BRE# 01147470

October 21, 2008 02:52 AM

I've had the ballot for a couple of weeks. I planned to vote immediately after the final presidential debate, but my decision was still clouded, so I left the ballot untouched on my desk and waited for my choice to become clear.

I vote for the person, not the party. I think character and integrity are more important than platforms and promises. I vote not only for the economy of Norma, but for what I believe and hope is best for the world, our country and my grandchildren. I think it's selfish not to take the long view of the legacy our lifetime imprints on world history.

With pen in hand and a steaming cup of hot tea to sip, I cast my vote for:

The presidential candidate I believe to be the more highly evolved human being, and under whose stewardship I hope our country will find new respect in the world, renewed prosperity at home, and a more conscious way of living on this planet with all the other inhabitants.

My voice has spoken, make sure yours is heard too. Vote.

I'm looking forward to voting, but there's almost no point in Maryland. Democrats outnumber Republicans 2-1, so a lot of people from both parties can fail to vote and it won't make any difference... Maryland goes Democrat. Period. Amen. But vote anyway!

Norma, I'm planning to vote early, though not often. That way, I can go to one of the nearby "battleground" states and help out for my candidate. It looks like we'll finally have a decent turnout this year.

Norma - I will be at the polling site early on Nov. 4th. We do have early voting here, but, I will still wait for election day. Maybe I am old fashioned, but, just like Christmas on Dec. 25, I still like to celebrate election day on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November.

I had to do a double take at Gary's comment. I thought he had said he would be voting FOR himself LOL! I've never been an absentee voter. I don't know why, but I'm afraid it will get lost in the mail. There's something assuring about putting my ballot into the machine myself. I guess I'm getting old ;-)

I will be glad when the election is over though, I'm getting tired of the stagnation I think we're all in mentally.

Norma,

Nice way to put it. I don't mix politics with business, I am tired of the media. Will be glad when it is over. Yes, I will vote too.

I have already voted for this cycle. But I am going tomorrow to pick up the ballot for the next president, you know the primaries start Nov.5th and the election is only 4 years away.

Margaret, I lived in Glen Arm, MD for a few years, so I'm familiar with the politics of your state. BTW, I think you have the most beautiful spring season of anywhere I've lived!
