WE HAVE OUR OWN VIEWS ON ISSUES AND EXPENDITURES--HE OR SHE IS VOTING IN OR OUT, YES OR NO |
THIS TERM, THE ABSENTEE BALLOT IS COMPLETELY FILLED UP WITH CANDIDATES AND PROPOSALS ON THE BACK SIDE. IT TOOK ME ALL MORNING TO VOTE.. I HAD TO READ A PROPOSAL 3 TIMES TO DETERMINE A YES OR NO VOTE. I PROMPTLY MAILED IT OUT. I AWAIT THE OUTCOME ON NOVEMBER 8TH. I WANT TO SEE WHO HAD THE SAME SENTIMENTS AS MINE OR SIDED MY WAY. I MYSELF KNOW OF PEOPLE WHO DO NOT VOTE--THEY OPT OUT OF THE PRACTICE OF VOTING ALTOGETHER.. THEY DO NOT CARE ONE WAY OR THE OTHER. BUT, I CARE ABOUT PEOPLE AND THINGS AND CURRENT EVENTS ISSUES. I LIKE TO KEEP UP ON CURRENT EVENTS SO I KNOW HOW TO VOTE WHEN THE TIME COMES. NOT VOTING IS A VOTE FOR THE OTHER SIDE. THE LAST TIME I VOTED AT THE POLLS IT TOOK ME A LONG TIME TO FILL OUT MY BALLOT. I GOT HOT FLASHES FROM STANDING AROUND IN LINE FOR A LENGTH. THEN, MY READING GLASSES FILLED UP WITH FOG AND I COULDN'T SEE AT ALL FROM BEING OVERHEATED. I STEAMED ALL UP AND REMOVED MY JACKET TOO. IT MADE ME VERY NERVOUS AS PEOPLE WERE WAITING BEHIND ME. I COULDN'T OPERATE ANY FASTER THAN I WAS. THEY WERE ALL WATCHING ME VOTE IN THE LINE BEHIND ME. I WAS SWEATING BULLETS. THAT WAS MY LAST TIME AT THE POLLS WITH AN EXPERIENCE AS THAT. I REALLY LIKE THE ABSENTEE BALLOT BETTER AS IT TAKES ME ALL MORNING TO READ AND FILL IT OUT PROPERLY WITHOUT A MISTAKE. OR MISUNDERSTANDING. I WATCHED MY MAIL CARRIER COME AND GO AS SHE HAS BIG LOAD TO CARRY AND RUNNING LATER THAN USUAL WITH ALL THE MAIL. I MYSELF RECEIVE A GREAT DEAL OF MAIL. I HAD TO SEARCH FOR MY ABSENTEE BALLOT IN THE PILE OF MAIL I RECEIVED. BUT, I DID RECEIVE IT THANK GOODNESS AND PROMPTLY FILLED IT OUT. I SIDED WITH SOME MAILERS I RECEIVED AS I PERSONALLY DIDN'T KNOW THE CANDIDATES AND ISSUES VERY WELL. I STUDIED THEM AND VOTED ACCORDINGLY AND IN PRIVATE. I SAW THAT THERE WAS A LOT AT STAKE. NOW IT IS YOUR TURN-- |
