The sun is shinning in the Pacific Northwest, the ballots are on their way to our mail boxes and the politicians are throwing around mis-truths, like they are candy to be given out on Halloween. Before believing anything said, check it out. REALLY CHECK IT OUT! Take nothing being said for granted, or like a baby your will be fed pablum. We are coming down to the wire, the mid-term election is almost upon us. Ads and more ads sent out on the wire, rumors good and bad over running the air waves. Be sure to check out your facts, then vote on Election Day. Make you voices heard and let no one tell you how to vote or what to say. It is your decision, make sure you are heard, for YOUR VOICE DOES MATTER! If you do not vote, you have no say and you can’t complain if your wants and needs are not articulated and represented by those who will end up in office. Remember this is the time that the people have the say. This is the time that the politicians should listen. This is the time that you have the power. USE IT OR LOSE IT!
