was very DEFINITELY not proof read!! I was in a super hurry and it showed, even I wondered what my lead in line was.
Very glad you feel confident about voting, but where I live it's been difficult for me to attend local town hall meetings, much less Commissioner meetings. So few people show up mainly because the right knows they don't have to and those of us on the left may as well be spitting in the wind.
I recall several years back some of us presented a petition to Vern Buchanan's office about issues we wanted him to address. We had been protesting and finally went into his office to voice our grievances. They asked us to sign a log for him and told us they would "pass" it along as if we mattered. Since that time the only reaction I've received from him is to call me when they have a town hall meeting when he's in town. Don't know what they presented to him, but somehow he thinks I'm a Repuke! I've called his office many times telling them I'm not and I would appreciated it if they would make a note of it. The reason I know they think I'm one of them is that they always seem to make "inclusive" statements regarding their intentions. Generally some issue against what Obama is doing.
After Bush was handed the election in 2000, Katherine Harris was elected twice as my Congressional Representative and we would protest around her office too, She never bothered to call anyone back.
I've never trusted our SOE at any time since I started voting here. Our present SOE is a piece of work and not friendly in any way. Her husband is very is influential and there are so many functions that make the newspapers with the possibility of having their pics taken.
Anyway, my story FWIW. As I said I really don't know if I believe my vote is ever counted, have no proof it's not... but no assurance it is either. Not a very good feeling. More & more I feel like a smaller and smaller voice in ANYTHING that goes on here in FL!
