Political Issues In Real Estate, and Beyond…Women Will Decide the Future in 2008…Tampa Real Estate News and MORE
Just a little word from Jackie’s Soap Box today
Women were granted the right to vote with the passage of the 19th amendment in 1919, which was ratified in 1920. Equality is a wonderful thing. What few Americans may realize, is that the fate of the 2008 Presidential Election lies with the female voters !
Why? Because 54% of the voters in 2008 will be women! I ask every Woman voter (and, certainly Men, too) to get informed before heading to the ballot box.
At 54percent.org you will find the latest information on all of the candidates, and their stances, on each of the issues.
I find that most Americans who call themselves a Democrat or Republican, dont really know what that means. Sometimes I think they simply register for the same party their parents did, but dont know how the party stands on various issues. Many dont know enough about the track record of each 
Presidential Candidate to make an informed voting decision. Will any candidate match your views 100%? Probably not, but you should know enough about each of the candidates to find the best person to represent you, and your political views.
Use 54percent.org to get unbiased information about all of the candidates. They are factsnot commentary.
Florida has a BIG vote on Property Tax reform on the same day as the Florida Presidential Primary in January. Tax reform is a non-partisan issue that has gotten VERY politicized in Florida. I will talk more about my thoughts on the plan, but know that I am STILL voting NO because this latest plan doesnt address the long-term issues with our property tax systemand legislators have been bullied into supporting itmore on that laterWe could talk about that for a week!
With exactly one year until the 2008 Presidential Election, we all have a responsibility to make an informed voting decisionGet the FACTS on all of the candidates.Review their track records. What have they successfully done? Campaign promises are often never fulfilled but they can certainly sway the voters who arent informed and like the sound of promises In any industry, the best measure of ones future success is ones past accomplishments. I doubt our current president had any idea, while on the campaign trail, that his administration would be filled with the unprecedented disasters of 9/11, Terrorism, Florida Hurricanes of 2004, Hurricane Katrina, War in Iraq, etc.
The President cannot possibly anticipate all of the future events to affect the Oval Office, but it is our duty as Americans, and as the Women who will control this election, to choose the candidate who is BEST PREPARED to handle any disaster, and any issue affecting the United States and the World. Keep that in mind as you review the candidates, their records and their promises . Who is the best person to handle anything that comes along?
You wont find me promoting any candidates on The Real Estate Sizzle, but I am promoting Education for all Voters. You have been granted the RIGHT to vote, now you have the DUTY to understand what you are voting for! Get Informed!

Great advise.Education is surely the key to picking the right candidate as these days theres not so much difference between the parties.
