Today is the Last Day!

Today is the last day to vote at http://change.org. If you have no idea what that means, see my previous post. The top 10 ideas will be presented to President-elect Obama tomorrow. You can vote for up to 10 different ideas. Here are the ones that I chose:

Appoint Secretary of Peace in Department of Peace and Non-Violence (2nd Place)
Free Single Payer Health Care (3rd Place)
Make the grid green in 10 years (5th Place)
Pass the DREAM Act - Support Higher Education for All Students (7th Place)
Forgive Student Loans: Stimulate the Middle and Lower Middle Class (11th Place)
Appoint a Special Prosecutor for the Crimes of the Bush Administration (14th Place)
End the Genocide in Darfur (16th Place)
US Leadership to Abolish Nuclear Weapons Globally (22nd Place)
Make FREE Trade FAIR Trade For Them AND for US (32nd Place)
Stop supporting Israeli apartheid!! (41st Place)

I believe marijuana legalization is number 1. While I agree it should be legalized, do we really think that is more important than ending the genocide in Darfur, preventing nukes from falling into the hands of the wrong people, or providing health care for everyone. I've endorsed "Appoint a Special Prosecutor for the Crimes of the Bush Administration" as the best choice. You can vote for it directly from this page by clicking on the vote button to the right. I also recommend voting for "Forgive Student Loans: Stimulate the Middle and Lower Middle Class" because that would help me immensely.

Also, check out http://Politifact.org 's Obameter. I'll have more on that later when I get a chance to check it out fully for myself.
