Pet Causes

In my job, I can't do too much politicking. I have a government job, and in most government jobs, unless you're campaigning for the boss, it's frowned upon. Not to the extent that you lose your job (although that is not unheard of; if the higher-ups are looking for a reason to let you go, any reason will do), but, it can be a career killer, or at least a career slower.

Since I need my job too badly to risk it for campaigning, I have to use other means, and that is one reason I started to blog. So I could voice my opinion, and if by doing so, was able to convince someone that my opinion was the best, the most correct, whatever you want to say, so much the better. I have a high opinion of myself most days, and of course, I think my opinion, if not the best written, is as good as the next person's.

Anyway, one of my pet causes right now is to convince people to vote. But, I don't want people to just walk into the voting booth and mark their choice. I want them to be informed and make their choices intelligently. I don't want anyone to read my blog and not question me. Even if they don't leave a comment, or send an email asking how I arrived at my opinion, I want them to think about what I wrote and to do some research on what I have to say or what they think about what I've said. The Internet is just full of information. I honestly believe that everything that has been printed, thought, or said can be found somewhere on the Internet. If it's not there yet, it's like the weather in Florida, wait five minutes and it will change.

I don't agree with everything GWB has done in his time in office, but I think he's done a better job than Al Gore would have done in his place; especially in light of 9/11. GWB and Kerry have a lot in common, but I don't think Kerry would do any better than GWB has done. So, unless something happens between now and November, I will be casting my vote for GWB.

My main pet cause is the Fair Tax Act. I won't go into it right now. If you are interested, the link is in the sidebar to the right. But, I digress.

Sorry, I don't have the expertise to know how to do the trick where you can click on "volunteer" or "donate" and it will take you to the page. Haven't learned how yet. So, I gotta do it the long way.
