Just in case you were getting a big ego. Check out this example of how small we are in comparison to the universe.

This year is the year of the mid-term elections in the United States. The elections are important because it is when the 435 seats in the United States House of Representatives as well as up to 34 of the 100 Senate Seats are decided.

In addition, 34 states elect their governor. In 2010, the election will be on the second Tuesday in November.

This is as important (if not more important) than the Presidential race. It is time for everyone to get involved.

Tea Party - Remember Us?

Since Obama’s win in 2008, we’ve seen a number of grassroot organizations bubble up via Social Media. The Tea Party, is a non-partisan group dedicated to fiscal responsibility. The Coffee Party appears to be similar in purpose, albeit slightly less radical in it’s rhetoric.

The amazing thing about this – each ‘party’ has under 250,000 members. This is less than 0.1% of the total 217 million of us who can legally vote.

There are several versions of the text of the Second Amendment, each with slight capitalization and punctuation differences, found in the official documents surrounding the adoption of the Bill of Rights:

The 2nd Amendment Reads:

A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

You may have not yet heard, but there is a large rally going on today in Washington D.C., specifically around the topic of the American right to bear arms. Whether or not you agree people should be legally allowed to carry guns in public, this debate is a matter of constitutional rights.
