My brother sent along a link to a Presidential Candidate Quiz that I found very interesting. It does involve answering quite a few questions and then rating how strongly you feel about your answers. After it is all said and done it cranks out which 2016 Presidential candidate you most align with on major issues. I have found that it is great to get started on candidate research before I get besieged by attack ads that may or may not be accurate.
Today's quote is from Sharon Salzberg:
"Voting is the expression of our commitment to ourselves, one another, this country and this world."

Today is the day of the mid-term elections. I am not going to post who I voted for here in Arizona or what ballot measures I supported. I will say that I do love election day. Every time that there is an election in this country and power shifts back and forth peacefully I am thankful to be here. America is flawed, we don't always do the right thing in the world.... but mostly we are good and this experiment that started 238 years ago is doing all right.
Today's quote is from Franklin D. Roosevelt:
"No one will ever deprive the American people of their right to vote except the American people themselves and the only way they could do this is by not voting."
