One week left!!

After a rousing political conversation with the nanny, I mean my dad, this morning... I felt the need to research what exactly those scary union commercials were trying to say by "Franken wants to take away your private vote!"

Btw, a little off topic, I just hate the fact that campaigns have endless money to spend on nasty ads because they neither represent "real choices" nor "real issues." I can't wait for the day when campaigns are publicly funded... those who really care about the issues will hand over their $50 (or whatever is the maximum donation) and the candidate will actually have to do something good like, make an ad that provides their views & stances on issues instead of rip down their opponent.

Yoinks, I am ALL fired up and ready to vote next Tuesday. I cannot wait to make history. Amélie will be so proud of her parents.

Here is a nice description, granted a bit biased in his presentation but he does define the "Employee Free Choice Act" that is the main focus in the Union advertisements. Plus, he provides some history/statistics so you can make the call.
