Bernalillo County Early Voting

The results of the first weekend of early voting for the Democratic Party is very encouraging but we still have a long way to go before we win this race. Now is not the time to relax. We need to encourage every single voter to get out and vote early. We cannot afford to relax at this moment in history. The Republican Party is projecting that we cannot keep up the voter turnout of the first weekend but they have no idea how strong the blue tide will be this year. We need to move heaven and earth to get out every single democratic voter that we can in the next two weeks. I know that everyone wants this to just be over but now is not the time to take our eye off the ball. I am sure that some republicans will hear the results of the first week and they will start to turnout for their candidates so we must keep up the work just for the next two weeks. We simply cannot afford to let victory slip through our fingers at the last moment.

We are faced with two directions for our country. One is corporate socialism or returning to the American dream of democracy. We can watch as our country becomes a place of the have and the have not or we can give every child the dream of a better future. We can watch families’ loss their homes or we can make sure to put a man, Barack Obama, in office that will fight hard to protect our children and make sure they keep a safe home to return to everyday after public school. They can have a good public education for all or an elite education for the very few children with mega rich parents. We can watch our children go without healthcare and die at a younger age or we can fight for the human right to have good medical care for every child in this country. John McCain does not want to help the middle class much less the working distressed families in this country.

The time has come, the time is now

Vote blue

Vote hope not fear
