But, Jackie, is this any different than a presidential, primary, state or local election? I usually know the names, but not the people. As for the most important election in our nation, the only presidential candidate I've ever known personally was John Edwards, a friend of my mom. (Ugh!) Yet, I will still vote. It's up to the voter to do the research.......Find out where the candidate stands on certain issues..........The candidate's background, etc. The candidates for the Board put out BIOS's. I'm sure any one of them would have welcomed questions you may have had. Why don't you get to know candidates that way instead of not voting.

Why? Well, I know the NAMES of (most of) the people on the ballot, but I do not know the people. My husband doesn't even know the names. We did not vote because we did not feel comfortable doing so. -- Jackie & Jonathan Nguyen Marcato German Shepherds <http://www.sparkly-lion.net/marcatogsd> S Konzert vom Drachenberg, RN, CD, CGC "Strauss" Devine's Gunpowder N Lead "Mirada" ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2010.
