I'm putting in my "two cents":
Republican to the State Senate!
Democrats to the State House!
"No" on all the ballot issues except for Lucky number 13.
Re-elect our congresswoman to the U.S. House.
and last but not least -- an INDEPENDENT DEMOCRAT (what's that?!) for Governor.
------------------------------------
My statehouse votes are all three to re-elect incumbents. They are doing a good job, and no reason to start all over from the ground up and re-invent the wheel with people who are new and have no power.
I listened to our congresswoman speak about the health care bill on C-SPAN, and something I noticed was, while some of the other congressmen spoke "off the cuff" -- pausing to say "uh" or some other filler while they thought of which direction they wanted to take next, our congresswoman was well-prepared. No "uh"'s. She had enough respect for her constituents, for the listeners & viewers, and for her colleagues in the House to prepare and give a strong, coherent, and concise talk about the topic.
She lacked the conceit of the "off-the-cuff-ers."

After watching medical marijuana get voted down by state legislators who were too chicken to vote to help people who may be in pain, now I get to vote for it myself. (Why would you not?)
And one of those ballot items is to further limit places where people can smoke -- regular cigarettes, that is.
I say, Haven't we (society) beat up on smokers enough??! Leave 'em alone!!
