Today we voted for a Senator and Congressman. George Allen's lead is shrinking; however, everyone is confident he will retain his seat. The marriage amendment passed by a large margin and I was happy to see that. The Chacon family put in over 10 hours collectively at the polls today. Miriam became a wonderful 'sample ballot distributor' and she chided me when I didn't ask people if they had questions about the proposed amendments. Our district voted heavily the other way, but everyone was nice and we had good time. I enjoyed being a part of the democratic process and enjoyed going to the different rallies. We forgot our camera so it will be a few more days till we get some pictures.
Tonight we went to the 'Victory Party' for the republicans and Emily was interview by two papers and Reuters took several pictures of us mingling with our elected officials.

Good to see that the Chacon family is working together! Looks like politics runs in your family with Miss Miriam even getting in on it. Can't wait to see the pictures, if you see them!!
