Hey Guys....

I am posting this not as a political discussion thread, but as a reminder to step out in your state and vote in the primaries. You can't be heard if you don't vote. Change can't happen without everyone speaking up.

There is no need to debate who we want to win or which party is right or wrong, but it is important that we are active in the election process.

Y'all remember Texas is another Country Yes, I do feel left out too but not as badly as when I was a California resident and as I was going to vote I was already told who the new President was. Thankfully that's stopped recently but sheesh, who isn't tired of the pundits telling us what we think?

Texas is indeed another country... however, your voice can still be heard on March 4th at the polls.

So over here on the news they are saying it will be a first for America, either a black man or a woman will step into the presidents shoes. Is that an accurate assumption? Is it between Barak and Hillary?

We aren't sure. It will be who ever represents the republican party against who ever wins the democratic nomination (either Hillary or obama) and of course there is the libertarian party, but you don't hear much about them. We still have a few primaries to go before they decide who represents which party.

Some people are making the early assumption that the democrats will win the overall election. But we won't know that until we vote in the actual presidential election.
