Tomorrow is election day.

If you're a US citizen and haven't already voted, please go out tomorrow and vote for Barack Obama. It matters.

If you are a California resident, you probably don't need me to remind you to vote NO on propositions 4 and 8. My Florida friends, please vote no on 2. [livejournal.com profile] miwasatoshi has reminded me of the equally nasty (and, in this case, redundant because they'd already pushed one such through) prop. 102 in Arizona. Also, the Connecticut "constitutional convention" question is an attempt to slip in an anti-same-sex marriage rule, by changing that state's constitution now that the state supreme court has recognized that it protects the right to marriage regardless of gender.

If you're in New York, and have a contested state senate seat, please vote for the Democrat: a couple more seats in the state senate might get us same-sex marriage here by legislation. It passed the state assembly this past year, and the governor has promised to sign the bill, but the Republican leadership in the state senate wouldn't let it come up for a vote. I'm voting for our one state ballot proposal, but I don't feel strongly about it: it clarifies language in the civil service rules about giving a preference to disabled veterans, so that it applies to all disabled veterans, not only those who are collecting government disability payments.
