How Will You Vote in Tuesday's Election?

Seven days until the election. Do you know how you will vote? Do you know what issues you will be voting on? Here are some links regarding some of the issues on Tuesday's ballot (Springfield and Missouri). I will try to find more resources about SB 816. This is the Cable TV bill that no one seems to know anything about. The TV commercials for both sides are vague at best and at worst they are hiding truths.

The News-Leader (for all it's faults) does usually provide, the Sunday before an election, an Election Section where all (or most anyway) issues on the ballot are discussed. Online or in print, be sure to educate yourself on Sunday and vote on Tuesday!

These are the issue-related places I've been and the election-related sites I've seen.

I can hear the computer on War Games now. "Do you want to play a game?" If the answer is yes, then check out Ball Toucher. It sound bad but it is really a clean game. This came from a post on Dave Barry's blog.
