Current mood:  cynical

Mid-terms are 6 months away, so just register now and you won't have to do it later! 

Courtsey of NARAL, here are a few reasons to vote for people who would actually represent you:

  1. We must block potential anti-choice Supreme Court nominees now that Roe v. Wade hangs by just one vote.

  2. For more than three years, Bush's FDA has refused to allow the "morning-after" pill - a safe and effective way to prevent unintended pregnancy - to be sold over-the-counter.

  3. More than half a billion taxpayer dollars have been spent on ineffective abstinence-only programs since Bush took office.

  4. We need the votes to pass the Freedom of Choice Act so that we never have to fight for the right to choose again.

  5. With only two years left in his term, Bush will use his anti-choice Congress to pass as many anti-choice bills as he can. This is our chance to stop him (and them)!

But really, vote what you believe!  Hold leaders who don't represent you accountable!  Don't let people trample your rights and values because they wirte a 'D' or 'R' after their names!  Remove the problem children from power and find voice that is willing to speak up for you!

Good idea. It suggested hanging the five reasons up at my place of work and I thought, "But I'm the only one who will see it..."

I'm registered but I guess it's time to think about switching my registration to Tallahassee. My family's leaving Florida in the next year anyway so it hardly seems worth another absentee ballot.

I'm not registered to vote.

Did you read that New York Times article about some group that wants to ban all contraceptives? Their reason for wanting to ban the morning after pill was because if it was out there, teenagers would start having wild sex orgies with no regard for consequences.
