To Be Determined...: Now that you're registered to vote...

Now that you're registered to vote...

Confession: I must admit that I have been so caught up in trying to follow the volatile presidential race that I have completely forgotten about all of the other issues facing my own state of Zion. I looked at a sample ballot today and was astounded at all of the issues and races that I don't know about! I didn't even know that Guv Huntsman, Jr. was up for re-election. So, if you're like me, you've probably decided on which ticket you're choosing- McCain/Maverick or Obama/Biden. Now it's time to turn our attention to our local governments.

For the state of Utah there are some important issues and propositions going down, so check it out. THIS WEBSITE helped me to find my new voting location as well as look at a sample ballot. Just enter your info and you're set. The sample ballot has links that tell you about the different propositions as well as the different candidates for Salt Lake County mayor, judges up for re-election, and people running for the board of education.

Also, check out your voting precinct to see if they have the option of early voting... beat the rush!

Hope it helps... let my mess be my message, right?

IF-- Rudyard Kipling

If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, but make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream--and not make dreams your master;
If you can think--and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster and treat those two imposters just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, and stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings and risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
and lose and start again at your beginnings and never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew to serve your turn long after they are gone, and so hold on when there is nothing in you, except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, or walk with kings--nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, if all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute with sixty seconds' worth of distance run--
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And--which is more-- you'll be a Man, my son!
