I also honestly don't know (I can only assume) how many others feel this way (I simply don't talk about this kind of thing on a day to day basis), but I am taking the first step (I don't know if its the right one) to "register to vote" in MA (I don't know if this is even the right thing to do considering I am never in MA!!). Anyways, to do the same as me and instructions for doing so can be found at: http://www.vote-smart.org/
After that, my plan of action is as follows:
1) Read about the current officials in MA and see what writers are saying about them.
2) Determine my egibility to vote in various elections: primaries, presidential...etc because honestly (and I don't mind saying here in this forum) I don't know anything about the election process other than the presidential election process.
3) Continue to research potential and current officials.
4) Vote in all election processes that become available to me.
How does that sound? Anyone else in the same or similiar boat? My high school didn't teach me any of this stuff (...?) and at least should have had me reinforce a plan of action on how to vote and stay informed on politics..... cause God knows I am informed on other things (...not be mentioned).
How many weeks are there in a light year?
