"If it's a broken part, replace it If it's a broken arm then brace it If it's a broken heart then face it" ...a quote from the wonderful Jason Mraz. So more and more I'm hearing this song and seeing how it applies to more then just a relationship between a man and a woman. Having been glued to my T.V and now spending my son's naps glued to the Internet searching for information on our presidential and vice presidential nominees. This is what I begin to think, the broken part is George W Bush, replace him!!!! I think the broken arm is our entire government we need to do something about education, health care, and our economy!!! And the broken heart may very well be the people of this wonderful nation. It seems that everyone is disheartened "my vote won't count", "they just do what they want anyways", "they are all liars".

In The first presidential race for George W Bush I knew he was the wrong candidate for me by one simple statement he made on MTV's debate. He honestly believed that only abstinence's should be taught in sex ed across the country. WRONG ANSWER in my opinion This will never work. Maybe Sarah Palin's daughters school decided on this approach???? My decision was made up right then and there. Game over.

Back then it was easy for me to decide. This time around I have more at stake. It matters more what I decide because it's not just my choice. You see I have a child now and I plan to have more. So my vote isn't only for me, it's for my children's future. Which candidates (Pres and V.P) will do the best job to allow me to give my children the type of childhood I had? Which candidate will allow me to let them be kids for as long as they can? Which candidate will protect them and their friends from the grown up issues that should not affect them? Its a personal choice one has to make for themselves, but I urge everyone to remember whats at stake in this election our planet, our right to choose; what to do with our bodies, who to marry, if we want to serve our country in the armed forces, and what type of energy we will use in the future. Not to mention the issues in our economy, tax's, health care, and war. Inform yourself about all the candidates Presidential and Vice Presidential. There is more at stake then most of us realize.
