Is it Nov 5th yet??

Every four years, I come close to unplugging my TV until after the election. I absolutely hate the political season. I am completely apathetic when it comes to politics. I know, I know...I should care now more than ever about the election. But what kills me is that everyone puts sooooo much emphasis on who the next president is going to be. Obviously it is important, but in my opinion it is not the most important vote that you have. In my opinion, your vote for Senator and Representative is much more important. The president only has so much power. Just because he says he's going to lower taxes doesn't mean the house/senate will pass it. Just because he says he will pull the troops out of Iraq doesn't mean that he will. Now I'm not giving my opinion one way or the other on who the next president should be. I have issues with both candidates, but will not share those with you here. Instead, I urge you to give as much thought to your vote for Senator and Representative as you do to the president. For they are truly the ones that run the country.
