Can't think of a reason to vote? Know someone who says his/her vote doesn't count? Visit RickeyPAC.org. I heard about it on NPR a few weeks ago.

Speaking of voting and elections, Mary Frances and I still get calls (live and robo) about voting in New Mexico even though we have not lived there since May 2006 and don't have any New Mexico area codes for any of our phones. Just the other day Gov. Bill Richardson graced us with several calls.
Here in Oregon, we are beyond all that. We all vote by mail and the calls these days are few because most of us have voted.
