I am very happy about the changes that are about to take place thanks to yesterday's election.  I am an independent.   I voted mostly Democrat but for a couple of local Republicans.  I always try to vote for an individual rather than a party.  I think about all the money that spent on this election.  I heard on NPR that it was $1.2 billion.  Think about how many homeless people or sick people that could help.  I can't believe they spent that much money.  I think it is really a sorry reflection that we can spend so much on something like advertising for elections, but that is another story.

I think that the majority has spoken and the message is clear — President Bush and his policies or invasion, torture, and the suspension of our rights must end.  I look forward to the changes about to come and can now actually look forward to the future.
