endorsement
I've been directly and indirectly endorsing candidates here for the last bit...and I realized that I left out the most important one!My dad is running for office! (My aunt Martha is jumping for joy.) Here's his official campaign photo (taken by yours truly). I figured I'd post it here, since the N&O didn't even put this race into its voters' guide.
He's running for the Wake County Soil and Water Conservation District Supervisor. Check it out...his name is on the ballot!
So everyone please vote for Fred Burt. I mean, who knows about soil and water conservation better than a farmer?
In other news, I voted early on Saturday. I was afraid that I wouldn't have time on election day. It was fast and easy, although the fact that you just walk up and give a name and address and they don't even ask for a photo ID makes me terribly nervous. I made the lady look at mine anyway. That whole process is conducive to voter fraud.
In summary, do your civic duty! Vote early through this week, or vote on election day. Every election cycle, we hear that this is the most important election of our time. The difference is that this time, it's true. We have a choice to make between socialism and limited government. It will radically change America as we know it if we choose the former.
And take some time to talk to the pollsters when they call. That's just good clean fun...

Yay! Go Fred! :)
Nicely written ('bout time) and EXCELLENT picture!
I drove away from early voting with the same opinions... it was easy, convenient, and well organized... but anyone who knew my name, address and date of birth could have walked in there.
What has been the opposition to requiring id? You'd think in a process as important as this one...!
Well, you can count 2 more! Vince and I went this morning at Falcon Park.
Wow! I had NO idea that was your uncle, but we voted for him today! A family member (who is a D) and a friend (who is a R) both strongly recommended him as the most conservative on the list. Kind of cool!
(oh, This is Monica, by the way. to read some blogs I have to sign in under my old name)
What's the saying? ... vote early, vote often.
oh, and we would vote for your dad, but we live in a different county. Dont think he will be on out ballot.
2 more headed your way!! And the pic is great.
I VOTED!! Now ask me who I voted for.
I just pulled up your blog to show Bobby, and he informed me that I misread...that's your DAD!!! I guess when you said your aunt was jumping for joy my mind pulled uncle out of that! Super cool!
