Today is election day and for the first time I am excited! I keep my political view pretty quiet and to myself especially because my husband and I are on opposite ends this election. I am excited to see the country so excited and looking forward to seeing record turnouts at the polls. This is what makes america so great! Regardless of who wins, this gives me encouragement to see such a great turnout.
Don't get me wrong I will be VERY happy to see the end of the politcal ads! There is nothing I hate more!
There is an important prop on teh MI ballets this year that I have strong conviction over. It is a prop to allow stem cell research from embroyes leftover and donated from fertility clinics. Michigan is one of the few states that does not currently allow this. Seeing that I have 5 embies sitting in a freezer that I will probably never use, it is very important to me that I have the ability to donate them to science. I think it is awesome that even though they probably will never create a child, that they can still be used to find cures via stem cell research. It angers me when I drive by most churches and on their signs is a big Vote no on Prop 2 it kills embroyes. If they only new that these embies will most likely be destroyed anyway because they will not be used in fertility treatments! URGH!!!!! I hope this prop passes, but I am not sure if it will due to the large opposition by most churches. I even had a friend who is a strong catholic call me and ask me questions about IVF because she wanted to understand how the process works and why there are left over embies in most cases. She will be voting yes after our discussion even after she was at her church and during the service they were asking people to pray people will vote no!!!!
I will be doing my civil duty and voting this afternoon. And whatever the outcome, I will know I did what I could and that is all I can control.
GO VOTE!!!!

I voted a Michigan absentee ballot, and voted yes on the prop as well! I too am so excited about this election!
HOORAY!! You know my political feelings, and I haven't ever been this excited, either. It's really just amazing to see so many people get involved and get excited about being a part of all of it. And I'll also say here loud and proud OBAMA/BIDEN 08:) That's just for you:)
