What a night!

Wow! Congratulations to the new Madam Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and apparent Senate Majority Leader Reid.

In our backyard Jerry McNerney, beat the corrupt, pro environment destroying Richard Pombo. Pombo regularly recieved some of the worst pro-environmental grades in Congress and was heavily tied to Jack Abramoff.

And here is to hoping Arnold stays centrist and doesn't immediatly move back to the right like he did after his first election.

Election Day

Please all go take advantage of your civil right and go vote today. Tell the country we want our democracy back.

There is a lot of voter intimidation going on around the country, as if those in power don't want us to vote. Tell your representative how you feel about their performance in Congress with your vote.

The Monterey Bay Aquarium and many other pro-science and pro-conservation groups urge you to vote yes on CA-84

Proposition 84 - the Clean Water, Parks and Coastal Protection Act makes the investments needed to ensure that all Californians will have:
Access to safe drinking water
Better protection from floods
Opportunities to enjoy parks, natural landscapes and our rivers, lakes, beaches, bays and coastline.

Update: And surprise there are major problems with the electronic voting machines. And this time both sides are complaining, so maybe something will finally be done about it.
