Vote As If Your Life Depends On It

Last political spiel. There are 192 Omegans registered on our website. Multiply that by the number of parents, kids of voting age, cousins, uncles, aunts et al. The number scales up exponentially. Not enough to win the popular vote, perhaps. But they could help to make the difference in key battleground states, such as Florida, and the electoral college decides the election.

No matter where you are on the social strata, the familial food chain, you have a stake in this game. Even if you are comfortably numb, you stand to lose in a government by, of and for the fat cats. Their greed doesn't end with monetary dominance - they want to control the world by way of a federation of a New World Order, Project for the New American Century, the North American, European and Asian Unions. Whatever label you choose, it is real and a threat to everyone. If you're thinking I'm a conspiracy nut, do the homework.

McCain and Palin are stalking horses for the current administration. If they are elected, their strings will be pulled by the same puppet-masters who've run the White House for the past eight years. And their parting gift is a once-in-a century financial meltdown. If you're checked your portfolio lately you know you've shared the collective pain with your fellow countrymen.

Obama-Biden may not be your dream ticket, but they are the last hope we have for a change. At least Obama is smart, top of his class at Columbia and Harvard, editor of the Harvard Law Review. And he's respectd by most of the free world. Or do you prefer a lazy Annapolis alum who wouldn't have graduated without the help of his famous military father. His survival in the Hanoi Hilton was remarkable, but that alone does not qualify him to be the commander-in-chief. There are a lot of unsung heroes of that war who would never be considered for that office, by virtue of their valor alone. Why would they want to, after being ground in the gristmill of an illegal war, and seeing many of their sons and daughters suffer the same fate?

You've probably figured out by now that I've been obsessed by this election and what it means to the future of our children and grandchildren. That's what keeps me up at night. As it should you.

So vote your conscience and not your pocket book. Their lives depend on it, too.
