i'm done..
with my vote at least.
yep yep. so proud! so loooove this oregon postal voting thing. yes, if you haven't heard by now, here in oregon we no longer go to polling stations to vote. our ballots come in the mail, we fill them out, we send them back (or drop them in a ballot box). and for those of you who doubt our system.. the possibility of fraud.. they check signatures. back in january for measure 30 i voted.. they counted my vote, but said i had to come in and re-register for the primary just to make sure i was who i said i was, cause my signature didn't match up.
anyhow.. so, i voted. kerry/edwards. yes. peter defazio. yes. not don hampton though-- fucker. i don't live in the district. but i couldn't vote for my county commissioner, so i wrote in greg ringer-- who ran against bobby green. and sherrif, couldn't vote for the guy who won the primary, had to write in who i voted for in the primary. checked off andrea ortiz for city councilor-- she needs just one vote, she's got it! and kitty piercy, of course, for mayor of eugene. oh yeah, and no on 36 - the queer marriage amendment.
now i just wait. okay, no i don't. thats a lie. now i just continue to work on don's campaign and hold my breath that the voters we've not contacted won't be early voters like me. hold my breath in hopes we can get to them, convince them to vote all the way down the freakin' ballot, for the right man that is.
can't wait till november 2nd. a party at the fairgrounds? like the one i missed in may? oh i hope so. i hope all the dems and the commie-pinko (a new term i've picked up, from someone out in the rurals who was describing the eugene progressive community, to describe my views) lefty people and issues win. oh hope so. we need the lefty's back in power not just in d.c. but also all over oregon.
