2008 Election

This year's election was a major one for this country. President Bush led us into a hole and whoever takes over has to try and fix what he messed up. Going to Phelps with my family I watch as people from all ages are there to vote and voice their opinion. I knew who was going to win Michigan so it wasn't much of a suprise when Obama won. I stayed up and turned back and forth to see the results. When they finally announced that he had won and McCain had conceded I couldn't believe it. I know he can be the change our country very desperately needs. Watching on TV at the sight of Chicago and all of them there to support Obama was quite a sight.

Medical Marijuana was up for vote this year on Proposition one and was in my opinion suprisingly passed. I voted for it but I was certain that many people would oppose this and not even consider it. If marijuana can help someone that is very sick then I think they deserve the chance to get better. This proposition can possibly help many sick people to cope with their pain.

Proposition two this year was a vote on the legalization of Stem Cell research for Michigan. I personally don't believe in this and I voted against it. I don't think we should be using embryo's this way. In my opinion this will lead to more people getting abortions because they won't only be helping themselves but in their minds make them believe they are helping someone else. This gives them a false belief and I don't believe it is right.
