Did you vote today? I did, and I’m glad I went early because the lines were pretty long. Plus, it started raining about an hour after I left.

I hope that you will take some time today to vote for whichever candidate has the values and vision for the future that you support.

Since this is a green website I’d like to offer you a look at two articles I wrote on Green Student U about the Energy and Climate Change Initiatives of both candidates.

After reading them you just might make a final decision:

Green Politics: Obama’s Energy/Climate Change Plan

Green Politics: McCain’s Climate Change Initiatives

So get out today and Barack the Vote!

*I’d like to give my friend Dustin Muniz credit for the “McCain’t” term. He is quite a clever guy!*

If nuclear energy doesn’t work out, McCain plans to switch to this more reliable alternative energy resource:

I was raised in Virginia, so when I saw this article I was appauled at what Bobby May, a Republican party campaign chair from Buchanan County, said about Barack Obama in a local newspaper.

Here are just a few of May’s racist rants about what Obama would do if elected President:

On Third-World Countries:

“Raise taxes to send $845 billion, most of it to Africa so the Obama family there can skim off enough for them to free their goats and live the American Dream.”

On Drugs:

“Raise taxes to pay for free drugs for Obama’s inner-city political base.”

Will Ferrell has always done a great impersonation of George W. Bush. Here Ferrell is as the President talking about global warming:

Here’s a great cartoon that shows how politicians might actually help out the environment in the future:

I saw this and couldn’t help but laugh…

Someone who just may become the next president of the United States not only proves that he is an advocate for change, but he also advocates listening to good music.

I recently read an article on CNN that shared what was on Barack Obama’s iPod. Since I consider myself to have relatively good taste in music, I was pleasantly surprised at what he listened to. His taste ranged from Bob Dylan and Jay Z to The Rolling Stones and Stevie Wonder.

But, even though he thinks that rap artists, like Ludacris, have broken many boundaries (just like he would be doing if he became President), he does agree that certain rap lyrics are troubling.

Here’s the story in full.

I truly think that the type of music a person listens to is a reflection of the type of person they are. I think the more willing they are to listen to a wider variety of musical styles, the more likely they are to accept broader ideas as a whole. And those ideas include changes in how we tackle global warming and foreign oil issues.

So with that being said, Obama, you keep listening to your iPod full of diverse music, and we’ll keep listening to what you have to say.
