[LM_NET] Blog the Vote

[Diane Chen <dianerchen@COMCAST.NET>]

Please consider joining this project that was developed after a children's lit 
conference. Colleen Mondor, Gregory K, and Lee Wind organized this project and 
Sarah Stevenson created a graphic you can insert into your own blog posts about the 
importance of voting. They explain their reasons behind the project and their 
simple rules (no candidate bashing). I went ahead and posted my reason for voting 
this year and I hope you'll take the time to go read, make comments, and write your 
own post. 
My post is at 
http://www.schoollibraryjournal.com/blog/830000283/post/1080035908.html
The master list for all posts is being collected at:
http://www.chasingray.com/archives/2008/11/blog_the_vote_2008.html 
I think this is a project we as educators should participate in as we encourage our 
students and colleagues. If you'd ever had jury duty in Wilson County, TN, you'd 
meet the judges who tell you your duty as a citizen is to vote and to do jury duty. 
They accept no excuses for failure to do either one.
Thanks.
