I'm sure your mailbox has been flooded with political candidate flyers and you've taken your phone off the hook (if you have a landline), from all the evening calls. I'm of course a HUGE proponent for getting out there and voting -- too many people have fought long and hard for those rights for us -- but I understand how exhausting the endless campaign messages, ads, calls, etc. can be. I'm not stumping for any particular party, but I am campaigning for people to think for themselves. We have all the information we need to make informed decisions (there are bipartisan sites like Project Vote Smart to look up any candidate's voting record), and I want to emphasize the power of critical thinking to combat the oversimplification of issues, namely internet memes.
