My First Election Day

As a new American Citizen, today I actually got to vote!  Granted it’s only the midterm elections, but it’s important nevertheless.  I have to do my part and send the message to the current administrations, State and Federal, that I don’t like the way the government is heading.  Now whether or not the Republican party can turn it around, I can only hope.

Locally, I’m waiting in anticipation for Carly Fiorina to win the Senate for California, and Gail Eastman for Anaheim City Council.  I won’t say anything about the Propositions until they announce the resolutions.

[Update Nov 3, 2010]

I’m obviously disappointed Carly didn’t win the Senate.  There are just too many Democrats/Liberals in this State, such as Los Angeles and San Francisco, the most populated (and richest) cities in California.  Interestingly enough, Orange County voted over 60% in favor of Carly Fiorina. We wanted change, but obviously everyone else does not.

The good news is Gail Eastman won by winning 19.4% of the votes for Anaheim City Council.

As for the Propositions, it baffles me to think a liberal state like this would not allow legalizing marijuana (no to Prop 19).

Predictably, global warming measure, which is a Democrat party agenda, gets to be enforced due to Prop 23.  Kinda silly to spend money on an unproven theory – money wasted in government run “green” projects, while the economy is in a major slump.  That money could be used for other worthwhile projects, like incentives for small businesses, or fund schools.
