why you should listen to your kids

GOOD magazine, which you know is a favorite, published a map of how the election looked with just the vote of our youth. (Isn’t it sad that I still think of myself in this group even though I am very much not… anyhoo.)

If the youth vote was the only voice in the election, Obama would have won 455 electoral votes–91 more than he has in the official count.

More statistics at the site, which is HERE. And more stuff HERE.

I got to say… I LOVE THE MAP!! I will think twice before I yell at one of “them” about their loud music and the clothes they wear.

Good Morning

Good Morning everybody!

Today is a very special day where we exercise our constitutional right to VOTE.

So get out there and do it.

I will have results, as they comes in, through out the day.

If you haven’t yet, and need help with environmental propositions or candidate positions please go HERE.

tomorrow is the day

After the 2000 debacle, I am always hesitant to say this, but… tomorrow we will know who our new president is and the results of the individual propositions.

I have spent the time researching the issues that concern the environment and I hope they have been of help to you. Please go to the “Election 2008″ category (on the right) for a full write up of each ballot measure, as well as links to the different positions of all the candidates.

I look forward to reporting the news as it comes in tomorrow.

Please get out and VOTE.

blinded me with science

According to this site. 43% of Americans will choose the next president due to their ability to tackle scientific issues. And 80% feel that the nominees need to have a debate on Scientific Issues.

One nominee has already submitted his answers to the Top 14 Science Questions facing America. YOu can view his answers here.

You can check out the site. And, contribute your name to tell the candidates that you feel issues of science are important and deserve their attention.
