I went to a political rally for *some candidate* in Portland recently. I would have seen/heard the president speak live had I not had to leave for a tutoring appointment. Two and a half hours waiting is apparently not enough time for them to let you see the president. The discussions going on in various groups around me were quite interesting and I learned some things about the political process. Anyway, I snapped this shot which indicates what you ought to do, and very soon--by next Tuesday, November 2nd, in fact.
Some people from our home community also hosted an informal, open discussion about the local measures & candidates and such, and it was also a very enriching experience and is one major factor in inspiring me to take the vote more seriously than I sometimes have in the past. So there you go, go out, participate in democracy, and try your best to make good decisions for how you think things ought to change and grow.
Peace out!
