ELECTION MATTERS:
Elections matter - That you vote matters- but who gets
your vote matters more. The last 4 years have taught me
that we have almost NOTHING to say about who is running. The
vast majority of us don't even know when candidates are being
picked - and they are generally hand -picked by the few at
the tops of the parties. So what matters most is that we
watch what candidates do. That we make it a point to know what
affect they are having on our daily lives and on the state of
our country. And it matters that this person knows he will be
voted out if he does not represent his constituents. It matters
most that you charge every one who wins your vote to stand
up against corruption and tactics that prevent transparency.
Knowing who your candidate really is remains the most
challenging part of
voting. So we need to start now.
Then, by November we'll be ready.
Next election : November 2010
7 am to 8 pm
and ( register by October 5th, absentee ballot must be received
by the County by October 30)
__________________________________________________________
Cross Filing -candidates who cross - file can be on
both ballots, no matter their party affiliation
So even though in the primary, you would
expect only to vote for members of your own party,
there will be Democrats on
the Republican Ballot and vise versa. They
will not have their party
affiliation notated by their
name in the ballot box - so take care to learn who your
candidates are
before going into the ballot
box. ( a good idea anyway, of course)
