Subject Line: Beat Long Poll Lines with Absentee Ballots from StateDemocracy.org

Many state and local election officials are encouraging voters to use Absentee Ballots to avoid the long lines and delays expected at the polls on November 4th due to the record-breaking surge in newly registered voters.

Voters in most states still have time to obtain an Absentee Ballot by simply downloading an official application form available through www.StateDemocracy.org, a completely FREE public service from the nonprofit State Democracy Foundation.

Just as the saying goes: Keep it Simple. Not as easy to do as it is to say.

This post gets to the practicle point of how to approach both business and personal situations. Its all in the execution, giving yourself permission, not others, to exercise thinking for oneself, creating confidentce with own opinion. LIBERATING.

Learn from mistakes - allow others to make them without being critical - anayzle failures to sharpen thinking for future sitations. Also, we can not succeed on our own; it's a collabrative effort. Be aware of who you spend your time, surround yourself with like-minded people. Once you become embarassed of who you are, you change.

Very well done. How do you recall all these quotes? I have always found Mark Twain's observations timeless. And boy that guy had some sucess and failure! Keep up the good work!

Excellent post. Dough Roller really hits it on the head when he highlights the value in thinking for ourselves. I immediately think of a movie we are going to see tomorrow: I.O.U.S.A and how our thought process of a nation has changed from one of "think and take care of yourself" to one of "the government or others will think for me and fix all my problems". Our entitlement mentality has become so expensive it may threaten to bankrupt the country.

Following Dough Roller's advice and realizing it's easy to get caught up in hype, we are going to the film with an open mind and will be doing our own research to come to a conclusion.

The post contains a preview of the movie if interested and we will be writing about our takeaways and compiling a series of ideas and resources so you can come to your own conclusion.
