It's been awhile- Get out and Vote!

Okay, so I'm really slow to updated this page. This election year matters on a very critical scale. We will either be working together for change or continue to be deprived of our basic human rights. It's critical that you get out and vote.

Here's a quote from Moveon.org:

"In 2006, Democratic voter turnout matters big-time. Many races will be decided by just hundreds of votes—and those races will determine the future of Congress. MoveOn's Call for Change program allows people with busy lives to spend as little as 15 minutes mobilizing voters in key races from their home computer and phone."

When I was in school, I had the support of President Clinton to get the critical funding I needed to be successful. Without the support of federal grants, scholarships and an expanded loan program I would have failed. I had planned to go to graduate school, but when Bush took office, one of the first programs to see drastic cuts in funding was the federal grants and loans program. I had a friend that did go on to graduate school but she had to work 40 hours a week, intern at a hospital, and take out personal loans to supplement what was not being offered by the current administration. So please vote this election year.
