Voting Day - Cast your Vote today

The United States presidential election of 2008, scheduled for today, Tuesday November 4, 2008, is the 56th consecutive quadrennial United States presidential election and will select the President and the Vice President of the United States.

Today marks a special day for me because this is the first time that I have voted since becoming a USA citizen.  I voted at the Southwest Orlando Dr. Phillips Library which opened at 7am with approximately 40 or so people in the line.  However, by 8:15am there was hardly any voter in the line.

Is it imporant to recognize that besides choosing our next president and vice president, there are some important choices to be made that will impact our Orlando real estate.  For example, there is Amendment 3 which prevents home improvements that make your place more hurricane-proof or energy-efficient from raising your taxable value.  You also get to vote for your Orange County property appraiser.  All of these choces impact our Olrando real estate.

Vote early and good luck with your choices.  Visit www.ThumbsUpOrlando.com for Orlando real estate.
