You might be feeling a little down about the state of politics in the US. The gridlock, political bickering, and overbearing control corporations and the rich have on this country are probably rightfully causing frustration and perhaps despair. But before you decide voting just doesn’t matter, please consider these facts that I’ll present in a series over the coming days:

The Health of The Planet – Democrat versus Republican
Global climate change is real. It is already taking toll on our environment and our living conditions. Democrats believe in science and are trying to do things to help slow or stop the impact we are having on our planet through the massive emissions of greenhouse gases. Republicans are in full denial and pretend science doesn’t exist. Republicans are so indebted to the fossil fuel industry that they fight efforts to reduce our reliance on oil. They argue for a free market while fighting to keep tax incentives for hugely profitable big oil. Your vote matters!
