your family will "fall over the edge" with you

I told my husband that a democratic vote for president in 2004 would physically endanger not only our country, but our family who we love so dearly. He got really angry with me and accused me of emotional blackmail. I rarely say what I think about his votes, other than that he's wrong:), but I feel SO strongly about the next election coming up.

Good for you, twigs! Telling your husband and family what Daschle is pulling at this moment is very powerful testimony to your feelings. It's hard - my sister and I didn't speak for about 6 months during 2000 because of her planned vote for Gore. In the end, because of one of her friends telling her he was voting for Bush, she ended up voting for Bush. She is now pretty much on board but her husband is still a stupid liberal. Fortunately, he doesn't even bother to vote. I have turned my mother into a rabid Republican, as well as my son. We CAN make a difference. God bless!
