Vote Quimby!

Alright. I didn't want to get all political, mainly because the guy I support has no shot of winning the presidency, but...I still support him. I've been wavering about not voting for him and essentially "throwing away" my vote, but as of right now, I am voting for David Cobb. He's a Green Party candidate, so mock me and call me a hippie if you will, but he's the only person I support for nearly all his issues. His main points are these:
*get us the hell out of iraq, and eliminate any possibility of the draft
*universal health care for all, regardless of income
*cleaning the air and water
*increasing minimum wage so those willing to work won't struggle on the poverty line as much
*decreasing corporations and their role in politics
*increasing pell grants and stafford loans for college
*tax breaks for struggling families wanting to send children to college
*abortion is the choice of the woman

So I agree with all these and more. Yeah, there's stuff I don't support fully, but no one's going to please you 100 percent. Anyway, it probably won't do you any good. If you're wavering between Bush & Kerry, don't let my words take away a vote from Kerry. Only vote for my guy if you really don't like either of the frontrunners, and haven't decided yet. I'm not telling you Bush is evil and Kerry's a muppet; rather, I'm just shedding light on a darkhorse that you may not know about, and giving you an option you may not have considered. That's my campaigning for the day. Let's see what tomorrow brings.
