Men Torture and Kill Cats in Montana/Sign Petition
Election Day will be here before we know it! I've heard alot of people say that they don't like either of the candidates so they are not going to vote.
All this accomplishes is that you are letting everyone else have a say about our leaders will be while you remain silent. Remember either McCain or Obama will be elected whether you vote or not. Please vote for one!
Every vote does count and every vote should be counted!
If you want to discuss politics, please join DNC unplugged. Yes, it is a Democratic group but Republicans and Independents are also welcome.
Ten days ago, Sen. Joe Biden was the most brilliant vice presidential pick imaginable. He was going to add the experience and foreign policy credential that Sen. Barack Obama's thin resume was missing.
I've been thinking about recent past elections. Clinton won the election against candidates with military service to our country. Bush "41" in 1992 and Bob Dole in 1996.
Then, in 2000, Bush "43" won the election (well, that's another story) over Al Gore. Bush did serve in the Texas National Guard but Al Gore went to Vietnam. Bush won again in 2004 over John Kerry who had won three Purple Hearts.
The jury is still out between Obama with no military service and former POW John McCain.
The point that I am trying to make is that military service should be respected and not belittled. It's okay to disagree with a candidate on issues but please don't try to diminish their military record.
History shows that a military record doesn't guarantee a victory at the ballot box, but we still owe them a debt of gratitude for answering the call to duty.
Care 2 offers many choices now. I've noticed that activity in groups have dropped off drastically from a couple of years ago. I'm thinking of closing a couple of mine.
I am feeling overwhelmed with trying to keep up with returning green stars, sending birthday comments, posting at groups, signing petitions, noting Care 2 newstories, clicking to donate, etc. I'm sure that you are all feeling the pressure, too.
I don't know how I am going to be able to keep up with the Care 2 Christmas cards in my inbox and Christmas comments but I want everyone to know how much I appreciate your friendship.
I just finished my snail-mail Christmas cards today and still need to do more Christmas shopping. I am just running out of time...
Life is full of stressful moments. So, when it really starts to get to you, remember you are not alone! C'mon and join a fun support group and you will find a shoulder to cry on or friends who are willing to listen.
Help I'm Having a Bad Day is open membership and everyone is welcome.
Many times I am sent a petition for me to sign which is for a cause which I support but I find that it has too much wrong with it for it to succeed. So, I don't sign it.
One example of what I am talking about is the TARGET. This should be WHO is going to receive the signatures. It has to be a specific person or an organization that has the authority to make the changes called for in the petition. Also, I will no longer sign a poorly written petition that no one would take seriously. (Or one that has EXPIRED) . It's a waste of time.
Another problem that I find is with the information that is required which will be viewed publicly. I don't like to sign a petition ANONYMOUSLY but I also don't want my ZIP CODE displayed publicly. I also don't want my age displayed, so I use 99 or 100. These are privacy issues and alot of people will just skip signing the petition.
Also, I want a full name for the petition author. This person will have access to your e-mail address and sometimes even your home address.
Lastly, I would suggest that if you care enough to SIGN a petition, don't sign your Care 2 screen name. A petition with a thousand signatures consisting of Cubby Bear, etc. will NOT be taken seriously.
If you don't want people to know your real name at Care 2 you have a few options. You can use a different e-mail address not connected with your profile when signing petitions then it won't be displayed under your "butterflies". ( I realize that someone could possibly figure out your real name that you used to sign the petition by the other information displayed.) Also, you either can use the anonymous feature or change your profile settings so that the exact petition that you got a butterfly for signing, won't be displayed on your profile.
Petitions can make a difference, if we just get it right.
