Should you really take the time and vote?
NO - Not if you don't know anything about the person, the policies, the beliefs, the reputation, the plans, the platform... you should NOT vote! An uninformed voter is worse than not someone not voting since they are voting at the whim of someone else. If you cannot make an informed decision don't let someone else decide for you. Stay home!
Should someone vote if the race is already decided for their state?
If you know enough to make an informed decision yet your state is already "decided", should you vote? Someone told me last week that they weren't going to vote in this year's election because their vote really won't count. Does it really matter?
Texans will vote (or have already voted in early voting) by majority for John McCain. Since it is given that McCain will win, should we take the time to vote? We all know that registering to vote is what causes us to be on the list for jury duty - or at least we believe that. We know that voting will require a significant amount of time standing in line, proving our identity and completing the voting process. This doesn't take into consideration the travel time, parking situation or the people you will have to stop and talk with at the polls. I always run into people there no matter when I go!
So - is it worth it? Does it really matter?
YES!!! But remember only informed voters are needed. Whoever wins will hopefully not only win the electoral college but will also win the popular vote. We want this county united behind our President - whoever he is. We want to move past this 2 year election advertising spectacle and stabilize the economy so we can get back to our lives and our work and our car commercials. We are all tired of the political commercials and signs littering yards and corners. We are tired of the "process" that has taken significantly longer than any of us wated.
So - if you are an informed voter and you haven't voted yet - VOTE NOW!!! Our country needs you.

Today I made and received my first Skype calls and found the clarity SO much better than my traditional land land. So what is Skype? Best I can tell you is that it is a FREE internet to internet "phone" connection. Yes, you can pay if you want to make calls to land lines and many other things but right now - Just Skype me and see what happens.
If you want to call.... my Skype is Susan.Hilton01
If you don't "Skype" yet.... join us and get started. Your clients may be Skyping with me instead if you aren't careful... Join in and connect!
I wrote a post on an outside blog - Susan Hilton - Bryan College Station Real Estate about the new regulation of sprinklers being mandated in all new homes in Texas starting January 1, 2011. Who would have ever though it would cause such an uproar! The comments I received implied I was stupid for not wanting MORE regulation.
I am not in favor of more government regulation which always equals more expense. I know that sprinklers in homes COULD save property and lives. I know that mandating Carbon Monoxide detectors in homes and garages COULD save lives. Breathalizers in all cars before they would start COULD save lives... There are MANY things that COULD save lives.
We are NOT willing to pay the cost nor are we willing to have more regulation - Sprinklers being mandated in all new homes in Texas is another government regulation that should not happen.
See original post below -
What do YOU think?....... How much more regulation are you willing to pay for?
Susan
DId you know that we have a new International Residential Code (minimum standard for the building code followed in Texas) is going to require fire sprinklers in single and two family homes and townhomes for homes built after January 1, 2011?
When I first read this I thought they were referring to the sprinkler systems in the yard - NO WAY! This is talking about the INTERIOR of homes!
What did the National Association of Homebuilders (NAH) think? They were not in favor of the mandate. NAH said the additional cost and maintenance was not justified. Habitat for Humanity agreed! It is too costly!
The National Fire Protection Association sponsored a study and reported this will increase costs from $.38 to $3.66 per square foot - averaging out at $1.61 per square foot increase. There may be some insurance discounts but not enough to cover the expense -
About the only good thing is that it is not retroactive!

Surely you didn't think I'd tell who I voted for did you? Sure many of you think you know who I voted for but no one was in the little booth (which really isn't a booth at all anymore but more like a little stand with a little canopy) with me.
You may see the sign in my yard showing support for one candidate. You may hear me talk about who I like or who I don't. You may hear who I think will lower taxes, protect our country, make sure my children have a country worth having but you'll never know for sure who I voted for BUT what really matters is whether YOU choose to vote. Will you take the time to exercise your right to vote? (Why do we say exerciese? Why don't we say "take the time to ENJOY your right to vote?"
Just in case you don't know when and were to early vote,
take a few minutes and FIND OUT! It will only affect you for the rest of your life, and your children's lives and your grandchildren.....
