Voting

I voted. Now I'm trying to figure out how to properly preserve my little "I voted" sticker. There ought to be some way to keep and display these little "Awards of American Duty and Citizenshippery." Because when my cause looses, all I have is that little red, white & blue sticker as my consolation.

Speaking of voting losses, there was a sign in the parking lot that said "no campaigning beyond this point." Essentially, if you read between all the lines of the issues, we were voting on whether or not to raise taxes. So I wondered if it was permissible to break out into song. Some catchy little ditty like
"I voted NO on the bond issue;
I voted NO to raise taxes;
We're already stressed,
we have too many committees;
Please vote NO on the bond issue."

Would that be campaigning or free speech? Are there rules against singing? My daughter was with me and just about died when she saw me warming to this great opportunity.

For her sake, I didn't sing.
