Comments on: Today’s post is a no-brainer… http://www.aphrodisiaauthors.com/blog/2008/11/04/todays-post-is-a-no-brainer/ Careful...it's bound to get hot in here!

It's just wrong--I can't imagine that it's legal to legislate discrimination and I hope that the attorneys working on it can find a way to overturn the vote...especially since it was funded by a lot of churches from outside California and the ads they broadcast were filled with lies. It was really ugly, and the fact it passed makes me physically ill.

So today I went down to the poll and did it in person to make sure there's no b.s. this time. It's too important. And I took my kid so she could see how special it is.

When a man is willing to be away from the ones he loves and risk his life as a representative of this country fighting on foreign soil, it's absolutely criminal that someone living here where they are safe and warm would NOT take the time to vote. I think about you and your spouse every day and wish him safe keeping--and that the days just fly by for you!
