We must vote for those candidates of any party that reflect these values: hard work, self-determination, smaller government, fiscal responsibility and honesty. Look to the character of anyone you chose to support. Their past does matter if they haven't learned from it. Their personal life is as relevant as their public one. We must be able to trust those who will be advising and leading us on what our country must do next. -Glenn Beck

Nation and Local

Hi, I'm Shaina. I'm not an expert on anything political, but I listen to a lot of news and talk to a lot of people who think they are experts. Does that count for anything?

The big discussion right now is of course, the Presidential Election in November between McCain and Obama. But that's not the only thing that will be on our ballot. In Utah, there are people running for office on the state, county, and city levels as well as votes being cast on subjects like amendments to the Utah Constitution. This brings me to 2 questions:

1. When it comes to National vs Local politics, which has a greater impact on my personal, daily life?
2. You can't help but be bombarded with information (true or not, biased or fair) regarding the national election, but you have to be proactive and do some searching to find out what's going on locally. Should that be changed and if so how?

I would love to hear what others think.
