And you thought the voting was over...

Okay guys, it's time once again to gear up and vote. It's not a "big" election, but it means a lot to two turkeys out there.

You see, according to Wikipedia... Since 1947, or possibly earlier, the National Turkey Federation has presented the President of the United States with one live turkey and two dressed turkeys. The live turkey is pardoned and lives out the rest of its days on a peaceful farm. While it is commonly held that this tradition began with President Harry Truman in 1947, the Truman Library has been unable to find any evidence for this. Still others claim that that the tradition dates back to Lincoln pardoning his son's pet turkey. Both stories have been quoted in more recent presidential speeches. In more recent years, two turkeys have been pardoned, in case the original turkey becomes unavailable for presidential pardoning

What does that have to do with voting? No, you don't get to vote whether or not the turkey gets pardoned or killed... (Sorry to disappoint)

Since 2003 the public has been invited to vote for the two turkeys' names. In 2005, they were named Marshmallow and Yam (who went on to live at Disneyland - lucky birds); 2004's turkeys were named Biscuit and Gravy; in 2003, Stars and Stripes.

And so this year, I want you too to get a gobble, err... voice, in what the turkeys are named. Just click on the link below and be sure to choose your favorite...
