Election coverage

Well, since we were in Hawaii and too busy to post anything about the election results.. here is my take:

(If you are offended by my political views.. please tune out now)

First - I am SO pleased that Obama was elected President in a LANDSLIDE victory! I believe the American people are sending a loud and clear message that what has gone on over the last eight years is unacceptable and demanding change! Kudos to you, progressive Americans!

I am extremely saddened though..

We are a progressive state and nation.. electing an African American man as President. However.. a slim majority of Californians voted to DISCRIMINATE against a certain group of the population?

If you can accept that prop 8 is nothing but discrimination against homosexuals and vote for it anyway.. at least you are honest with yourself. I can understand that. If you are going to lie to yourself and say you are "protecting marriage" by changing our constitution to strip rights away from individuals with a lifestyle you don't agree with.. I can't understand. I believe that is wrong and completely disgusting.

If you believe EVERYONE deserves the same rights in this state, regardless of sexual orientation.. please visit this website:

I am proud to say that I signed the petition because I believe in fairness and equality for all.
