    MY VOTE COUNTS!

    By bookmaven67  |  Posted October 28, 2012  
     
    My name is Gina Greenlaw. I am 45. I live in Portland, OR. I voted early because the great state of Oregon has "mail-in ballots." As soon as I received mine, I filled out that puppy and submitted it. I voted for Obama/Biden. Why? I trust them and I trust the Democratic ticket. The Dems represent and work for what is best for most. I believe the Obama administration over the last four years has done a good job and I want to see them do more. The biggest issue for me in this election that prompted me to vote? It’s hard to pick one issue because the conservative agenda as a whole scares me witless:

    Rollbacks and decimation of the Affordable Care Act, antiquated thinking on energy policies (This just in: Petroleum is finite), war in perpetuum (Halliburton 2.0, anyone?), education being gutted, the separation of Church & State being trounced, reproductive freedoms threatened. The list goes on and one with the Republican agenda.

    These “values” are in direct conflict with what I believe and my own deepest held convictions. Conversely, I believe Obama represents my moral outlook and that’s why I voted for him.
