Election 2008

With just a matter of weeks left before the election it is important for everyone to vote. As the Oct 2008 volume of the BORDC's "Dissent Is Patriotic" says:

Those we elect on November 4 will determine whether or not we reverse seven years of affronts to our Constitution. We urge you to vote, and to make constitutional issues a priority in your choice of candidates. Although few of us are ever fully satisfied with the candidates available to us, not voting at all presents the greatest danger of preserving the status quo.

I would also like to draw your attention to the issues of civil liberties and the presidential candidates. BOTH John McCain and Barack Obama have a very concerning stand on the many issues which encompass all that is civil liberties. But Cynthia McKinney again is a great choice as she opposes all the civil liberties violations of the President and does not compromise like Obama has, and reflects that in her votes. All taken in Obama is the better of the two large party candidates but Obama is far from a level which is needed for this country in this new age in which violations of our basic civil liberties is all too easy. We need real leadership, and we CAN find that in Cynthia McKinney and the Green Party.
