DRAMA!!!!!!

Wow. Ok so for sure you’ve all heard about the craziness that is going down in Illinios. Apparently for some reason, Illinois Governor Blagojevich thought Obama’s recently vacated Senator’s seat was his golden ticket - the Governor is supposed to APPOINT the next Senator, not SELL THE POSITION. But that’s exactly what Blagojevich tried to do!! Wiretaps revealed the Governor saying  “I’ve got this thing,” Mr. Blagojevich said on one recording, according to the affidavit, “and it’s [expletive] golden. And I’m just not giving it up for [expletive] nothing. I’m not going to do it. And I can always use it. I can parachute me there.”

ARE YOU KIDDING??? Selling Government positions for your own, blatant financial gain seems pretty outrageous. But we suppose stranger things have happened.

He’s been accused, and arrested, and is awaiting trial - and officials are publically calling for his resignation. Yet Blagojevich is apparently unapologetic, and still has not resigned. Some people have all the nerve.

150 malls. 42 states. 6 weeks. (An awesome website too). This is a different kind of political campaign: To give teens across the nation the chance to state their opinions on issues that matter to them.

We say SO WHAT if you’re under the official voting age - you’re never too young to care, to get informed, and to make your opinion heard. After all, elected officials will need your votes eventually.

So come out. Cast UR vote. And get entered to win amazing prizes. It definitely pays to get involved.
