30 Days of Gratitude: Day Eight

Today, being Election Day, I thought it would be a little apropos to express that I am grateful for my right to vote.

Not only do we have a right to vote because of the freedoms our forefathers fought for this nation, but as a woman I have the right to cast my political beliefs through voting.  To me, voting is more than a civic duty or a "right"; it is a privilege as I realize that there are many other nations where this isn't the way things roll.  I also am a firm believer that those who don't vote, don't have a right to complain about the results.  I have always taken my voting responsibilities seriously and believe the best voter is an informed voter.

And even though it's an off-year municipal election, I hope you will take a few minutes to find out what's on the ballot in your area.  If you're in Utah, like me, you can go {{HERE}}  to find your polling place, who the candidates are and which issues are on the ballot this time.

I am grateful for my right to vote.

Election Results Just In...

First of all, I would like to thank all of you who exercised your right in honor of your bloggy duty and voted in last Friday's election. The polls are now closed and votes have been tallied. Here is what YOU, the people said...

1) Do you prefer a pen with black ink or blue ink?
Black 60.7% Blue 39.3%

2) Who's the better comedian? Jerry Seinfeld or Steve Carell?
Jerry 65% Steve 35%

3) Which came first, the chicken or the egg?
Chicken 84.2% Egg 15.8%

4) Would you rather be Bald or Fat?
Fat 73.7% Bald 26.3%

5) Do you use the seat covers in public restrooms?
Yes 54.5% No 45.5%

6) Who'd make a better U.S. President? Homer Simpson or Dwight Shrute?
Dwight 57.1% Homer 42.9%

As you can see those last two questions proved to be a tough race. But the seat covers have it, and I suppose Dwight wins because he is after all, non-animated.

Thanks again for your support. Till 2012!!!
