Here in wacky San Francisco — where we’re voting on a measure proposed by my local politicians to make calling for the impeachment of George W. Bush and Dick Cheney city policy — I’m off to the polls. To echo Mala, have you voted? Tons of people withhold their vote year after year because they are jaded. I used to do that. I don’t anymore. Like Mala says, it’s a weapon at our disposal. I’m still jaded, but not as dumb.
Other not-so-dumb people have been documenting their adventures in voting today in photos on my favorite website, Flickr. Check out this blog post about all the happy voters on the site, and have a look at some photos to get psyched up.
Get out and vote. Don’t make excuses. There’s still time — polls don’t close for hours. And I guarantee you it will make you feel better.
To the polls I go!

it really will make you feel better. for the first time in years i went to the polls before work (i usually do absentee). unfortunately, i lost my “i voted” sticker, but felt good all day about having had my say.
