Register to Vote!

For those of you who happen to be in California, this is extra-especially important this election.  Believe me, I know it is hard to get motivated to vote in an area where you may only be for a couple of years, you don't know the local politics, and if you are like me, you don't really care who wins for city counsel.  This year those who live in California have the chance to vote on Proposition 8 which is a constitutional amendment that will define marriage as the union of one man and one woman.  Regardless of how adamantly you feel on the topic, our church leaders have stressed the importance of the outcome of this vote.  We can't pretend to understand the potential ramifications if this measure fails, but I believe our leaders do.  For that reason I am encouraging everyone who can vote in California to do so.  Educate yourself on this issue, get registered, and have your voice heard.  For those who don't live in California, register anyway!  This is one of the many freedoms our spouses fight for, it would be tragic to not let our voices be heard.  Remember, there is not enough darkness in all the world, to put out the light of one small candle!
