And in no way am I speaking ill of short persons in political arenas. I am talking about my students who are, in there own way, involved in the political process. We are all very much in discussion about the upcoming election. Which candidate best represents are values and what propositions will take away our rights. But we also have to look at the bigger picture.
I am not one to speak out about politics, I don't have a soap box, mainly because I don't feel I have enough knowledge about the issues. However, i will make an exception this time and say this from my heart. Think about the future when you vote. I voted by mail on Saturday and I followed the union stance on many things but there were several propositions that I had to go with my heart on. If it doesn't feel right, do what you think is right.
I say this because I spend the majority of my time with the future. Maybe it is cliche to say that but it is true. The children are our future and it is up to us to make sure there is a safe place for them to be.
The other day at lunch the group I had spent the time making campaign signs against proposition 8 and for Obama. I had nothing to do with this as I was on the phone at the time. I watched with sheer admiration at the thought they were putting into an election and into issues they cannot even vote on.
I beg you to do the same.

You go 7th graders! And Ang- you are making a difference with those kids. They see how you treat them and they want to treat others the same way, hence VOTE NO ON PROP 8!!!
Love, S.
