Sweet Vindication

Hey, everyone. Do you remember several months back when I was toying with the notion of starting a new blog where I posted the responses of my Senators and Congressperson to various petitions I sent them?

As it happened, not only did it pass, but by a 2-1 margin! Shocking! Way to go, Marijuanachusetts!

I did see that the assisted suicide (with a bunch of conditions) question was passed in Washington. Hmmm.

Yes we can.

UPDATE....And so can Ella.  This morning, I had Ella push the button to select Obama/Biden and then to officially cast the ballot.  I teared up a bit.  Here's the proud voter just after:

Tomorrow's the Big Day...

And I know what you're all thinking...Will Matt Olliges pull this one out?!   Here's hoping...best of luck, Matt!  Matt for Bellevue City Council!
