			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As they say in Chicago, &#8220;Don&#8217;t forget to vote; and vote often.&#8221;  They have cracked down on that since the 1920&#8242;s or when ever that saying got started.  But I thought of it today.  Lisa and I voted today and we brought our four kids with us, armed with coloring books and a small Thomas Train to pass the time.  They had a table set up in the large voting room which was perfect for the kids to color at.  At the end I handed in my ballot card and as usual they had stickers.  I was offered one for each of the kids which I thought was nice.  But then it occurred to me that if the kids got stickers that say they voted it would be a lie unless they really did get to vote.  So I asked for ballots for each of the kids.  Fortunately they knew I was joking and didn&#8217;t throw me in jail for attempted election fraud.  Someday the kids will vote.  They are already learning about it.  Hopefully you voted today too.  Let your voice be heard.  Every vote counts.  Once.  I know someone who thought her vote should count more than once because she was so important.  Not so.  We are all equal.  Unless we don&#8217;t vote.  If you don&#8217;t vote, you don&#8217;t have a voice in our government.  And if you don&#8217;t vote you have no right to complain when &#8220;they&#8221; do something you don&#8217;t like.  Vote.  Your future depends on it.<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-530" title="flag-vote" src="http://steveorris.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/flag-vote.jpg" alt="flag-vote" width="500" height="299" /></p>

<p>Change is coming.  Change is here.  Did your vote count?  Did you change your mind who to vote for?  Our world will never be the same.  Will it be better or worse?  Will change be good or bad?  In many ways we needed to change.  Both as a country as well as individuals.  Change is necessary.  No one knows that more than the parents of a baby.  We are constantly changing things around here.  Sometimes the change is more needed and immediate than others.  Sometimes the change is unwelcomed.  Like getting change back at a restaurant.  I used to get change back from a twenty.  Not anymore.  Did I mention that I have kids?  I don&#8217;t want to change that!  God has given us four of the best kids ever.  The world is changing though.  In many ways it is scary.  The economy is bad, factories are closing, people are losing jobs. . .oh, I think I found them.  They are hiring now in China.  I think I&#8217;ll stay here though.  Over here in America we have the ability to change.  If we don&#8217;t like our school we can move and change to a new one.  If we don&#8217;t like our clothes we can change into something else.  We even have toys that change from one thing into another.  And we have the option of changing those who govern us every two years if we are in need of change.  We have a <a href="http://debtisoptional.com" target="_blank">financial power tool</a> that can take your spare change and get you out of debt in a fraction of the time.  And you don&#8217;t have to change your mortgage payments.  All with little to no change in your lifestyle.  Now that could really change someone&#8217;s life.   So is change coming to America?  You bet.  And I am helping it happen.  If you want a future that is better than your past, then you had better change.</p>
