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--
