Great Info Tips

With all the information about all the candidates floating around in newspapers, online, and on TV, why will it be so hard to chose someone? I don’t believe half the things that I see, read, hear, or find on the Internet. I think some people are writing all sorts of things to make people worry about the future. Do they really want people to say they are disgusted and not bothering to vote in November? That’s what my mother told me she is going to do…not vote. She said there is no one decent to vote for. Not true. You can always do a write in vote for someone, anyone. It takes that 1 vote away from any candidate on the ballot. Ralph Nader took votes away from the candidates every time he ran and he certainly didn’t spend millions of dollars that people donated to run his campaign.

Then there are the phone calls to ask you to donate money to the candidates. A co-worker received one such call. Unfortunately for her, she has a phone number of a former person who donated previously to the Democratic party. The caller didn’t seem to want to understand that he hadn’t reached the correct person and just kept talking. When he asked her to donate $150 she got angry, shouted an obscenity into the phone and hung up. She told me they have a lot of balls to ask for that much from anyone with the economy being so bad. She’s right in a sense. I don’t think anyone would be able to suddenly dish up that much money for a donation right now…at least not anyone I know. I don’t run with the rich crowds, the celebrities, nor the millionaires. Most people I know live paycheck to paycheck. How are the candidates going to deal with the “poor” people like us who don’t have money to donate? That’s what I’d like to know.
