Actually, this is how I voted in the 2006 election and why. That's right--Uncle Josh voted absentee this year so he could get his ballot early and I think this gubernatorial race is one of the most important in the nation and will be a sneak peek of how the national political winds are shifting for 2008.

I voted for Bill Peirce (Libertarian) for Governor and Mark M. Noble for Lt. Governor. I voted for Bill because he is by far the most qualified candidate and because he's not a Republican or a Democrat. Here's the bottom line--if you vote along party lines, that is likely because you can't think for yourself to see that the two-party system of government is strangling this country and it is only when people begin to vote on the individual merits of candidates who choose not to align themselves into a particular party, when we as citizens begin to turn things around by seizing the power we have been bestowed by the Bill of Rights.

Of course, being the individualist I am; I would never deign to tell someone else who to vote for. But I will tell you that if you vote for Bill, you'll earn my thanks and my respect for having the courage to politically act outside the box and send a clear message to the two major parties that we are mad as hell for what they've done to our country and we're not going to take it any more.
