Vote Vote Vote -- But are you really in the know
I watched this funny, but tragically sad video on quizzing some young Americans about basic civics who either don't know:
The name of the Vice President The name of the Speaker of the House The name of the Senate Majority Leader # of members in the House of Representatives # of members in the US Senate # of members on the US Supreme Court etc. I'm not saying this video is representative of young Americans, heck, it might apply to anyone over the age of 18, it does make me wonder how that civics class didn't sink in more.
What it does make me wonder though, there is this huge push by "the parties" to get out the vote.  Yup, vote, vote, vote.  I wonder how much ink has been spent in the past 4 weeks alone on junk mailers in hopes of swaying voters.  I just throw 10-20 of these out every single day. 
While I don't claim to be totally "in the know", I vote by mail.  Did weeks ago.  So...I love voting by mail, as I can have the ballot in front of me, and spent 5-10 minutes per each individual vote and research the 2-4 candidates for ... more
