Newspapers, from Susan Collins hometown, to consertative Columbus Ohio say

13. I have never given up and voted in every local, state and federal elections since I was eighteen.

But, the facts are the facts. I used to walk the precincts to get out the vote. I am too damn old to do it any more. I volunteered and worked with the local precincts. Sadly, apathy has steadily taken over as a direct result of the corruption that permeates politics. Especially the Republican hate machine that is destroying the nations unity.

I can only hope that this Nov. 6th will be a turning point and Democrats can regain control of the House and possibly the Senate. The fact is the only weapon I have is the vote and my attempts to influence my representatives. I don't delude myself that the letters and calls that I make to my representatives that are dominated by Republicans have any affect what-so-ever. In fact those answering the phones just cut you off and your letter is filed with the rest of the complaints in the round file.
