I just read on another blog that whether or not we are happy or sad with the result there are still things we can do to help our country and we need to remember that. The only thing I would have to say to your suggestion is that it is easier said than done. I would love to be able to buy all organic and support local markets, etc. But that is pretty impossible when you make less than $35K. I have read all the tips and suggestions from lots of people but they seemed to be geared for families with two incomes or that make more money. You make a very good point.

I'm not sure I've ever thought about my 'buying' as a vote, but you make a good point. Don't you think it's difficult for the average person to really, carry through though? Is there somewhere (website/mag) which analyses companies and gives people the lowdown on all the big players in our supermarkets? Interesting thoughts, Tiffany.

And so true. We make an effort to teach our (5) kids to vote with their dollars; to make better, safer, smarter choices. Our dollars can speak loudly! Such a good post! And so true.

I get a lot of satisfaction from voting with my dollars. From buying goods from the little "guy" to supporting our local economies as much as possible, I like to believe it will make a difference. Change happens with each of us, not necessarily from the top down. AMEN Tiffany! I get a lot of satisfaction from voting with my dollars.
