Voters, Ballots...Action!

"Americans voted for change.

At least that's the seeming consensus emerging after the midterm elections.

But in a broad, national way—and far wider than the tight margins reflected in the change in party control of the U.S. Congress -- America voted not for change for change's sake but for action.

In governors' races and in ballot questions coast to coast, voters cast their lot with getting things done -- no matter what party at the helm. Voters called for state action on a raft of issues, often in response to the utter absence of the federal government on these very same issues."
