Last time I checked it is not a requirement to have your hand over your heart for the National Anthem. It's nice...but not required.

Please check your sources before you believe what random people send or tell you, especially during an election year. Regardless of who you end up voting for, it's always important to do your own research....(see Too's comment above about viruses...we've lived and learned.)

 Karen I would feel very duped by the repuplican party over the Mitt thing as well. I think it was a very shady deal, even if I didn't like or support him one iota.  In fact on facebook my sister joined a new group that is talking about JUST that issue.  It's been interesting to read their take on the whole stance. 

I am not disheartened by this election. It' time for CHANGE!!!!!!!!!! I am amazed at how many people who normally NEVER get involved, for the first time are hoping they can make a difference. There is nothing wrong with that.....People are remembering to take their government seriously. It's about freaking time.
