Website Review

Well yesterday's website review is now today- I should be more mindful of keeping Website Wednesday actually on Wednesday, but well, life is life. REGARDLESS today's website is actually more of an IDEA- there are tons of websites that deal with the issue I'm just going to briefly talk about today, but I did manage to find one that's non-partisan (non-political). What I'm going to talk about? Is voting, and how IMPORTANT it is!

I know everyone that reads this is not old enough to vote, but for the people who end up on this blog and are, I just want to let you know how important I think you should take this election. This blog is in no way a political platform for me, or Christian Endeavor, or anyone I work with- really it's more for ME to let YOU know about what I've been working or thinking/talking with other people about. That's why there is the ability for me to jump from such topics as Free Workshops, and fall & apples, and Work Camp to (what can be) such a touchy subject like voting.

I'm definitely not here to tell you what you should think. Because seriously? I'm pretty certain that everyone reading this blog is already made up of individual thought. That's the beauty of intelligent conversation- the ability for us all to come together with ideas and feelings; while we don't necessarily always agree, it's cool to hear different things. Do I think you should believe what I believe? No way, jose- because sometimes, when it comes to politics, don't you just reach that point where YOU don't even know what you believe? Especially now, in this climate of uncertainty before the election in November- while I think it's so important for everyone to GET OUT AND VOTE, I certainly understand if you're feeling apathetic- I know I am. (STOP with the commericals and fake phone calls, candidates: I'm not going to vote for you anymore than I normally would, just because you won't go away!).

So I'd like to challenge you: whether you are a McCainnonite or you've jumped on the Obamabus (or perhaps you prefer to stay more Independant), get out and vote. Tell your friends to get out and vote. Make sure your parents are voting. Talk with you coworkers about the importance of voting. Because if YOU don't stand up and have a voice? I don't want to hear you complaining for the next four years.

Check out presidentalelection.com. From this site it will take you to any state's statistics on voting- when your last day to register to vote is, how to register to vote, etc. If you're rooting for one specific candidate, there's places where you can go online for that too- since I'm keepin' it non-partisian, I'd suggest doing a GoodSearch search for places to register with a specific party. (But make sure you have PA Christian Endeavor in the 'search for' box!).

Happy voting!
