I Voted!!

Yes, it's true...I've already voted.  Just tonight Mike and I finished our absentee ballots for FL, and, WOW, does it feel great to vote!  I was interested to discover that, after reading each persons information (bio, plans, stances, experience) my votes were about half and half.  1/2 Republicans and 1/2 Democrats.  I really don't care what party the candidate belongs to, just what they stand for.  And it is such a relief to know who and what I'm supporting...instead of just voting for the president and not voting for anyone else, like I was considering doing...and to know that I'm giving a piece of my mind to help make the U.S. and FL good places to be.  Ahhhh.  So nice.  The only bad thing is that I don't get an "I VOTED" sticker to wear around.  

I hope everyone takes a few minutes before they walk into the voting box, to google the candidates up for office and really read up on their lives, what they stand for, and what they want to do with their office.  It's so important, because this is our country, our state, and our city....so please vote smart!
