Oh, and here's the letter to the editor of our local paper I submitted. It was printed yesterday. I submitted it several weeks ago, but you know how that goes...

I am a firm believer that you are making more than just a one-moment decision when you take the time to vote.
You are saying that you endorse that candidate and the decisions they've made and will make. I hope those who voted for Bush, knowing the mistakes he's made in the last four years, realize they are also culpable for the mistakes he undoubtedly will make in the next four.
I'm not foolish enough to believe that in voting for a candidate you endorse everything they stand for, but when someone has shown their true colors time and time again, you know what you're in for. You know what kind of person you're voting into office.
I believe Bush will do very harmful things to this country and what it stands for. I do hope I'm not right, but if he does I feel those who voted him into office share some responsibility. To paraphrase the old children's tale of the snake who bit the trusting child, "You knew what I was when you picked me up." Voters knew what kind of person Bush was before they voted. A person capable of lying to get his way, capable of using our sons and daughters for his own egotistical gains, a person who only thinks of himself and those like him.
