As in many parts of the Country we've allowed the extreme Right wingers and Left wingers to pick our candidates that we have the choose from in November. If your State has not held it's primary for the November Election pick a candidate and exercise your Right to vote. Remember a lot of good women and man have given their life so you have that right. So to advantage and vote.
If you don't take part in the Primary what we end us with is candidate from the extreme right or left. Good People who don't represent how most American think or feel about what's going in our country. I also encourage you not to let 1 or 2 votes by an elected official make your decision on how to vote. Look at the over all record before making up your mind. Would you really want to vote for someone who you agreed with 100% of the time? I don't think so if we are honest with our self.
However, I do think it's important to look at the whole picture. If a setting member of Congress votes with his or her Party 100% of the time It's time to say Good Night! If they have a moderate voting record one in which they question the leaders of their party then I bet they deserve Your VOTE!
Here's what is happening today. Most of us are staying on the side lines until November and then complaining about the chooses? Why is that? Because you did not become engaged in the primary process. The process used by most States to determine their candidate. Get involved if it's not to late in your State don't wait until November when it is to late to pick a canidate.
In my Home State of Arkansas we've got an important runoff this Tuesday and really hope everyone takes a deep breath and goes to the polls to vote. We've got runoffs for State Land Commissioner, 3 of our 4 House of Representative seats plus the all important US Senate Seat. The sad news is only 29% of the voters went to polls 3 weeks ago and most think less then 20% will go Tuesday. Let's prove them wrong!
I hope we don't let all the out side money being spend by labor and unions effect our common sense vote. We have a Senator who is a moderate Democrat and that has put her in big trouble. It would not matter if she was a moderate Republican because she would be in the same trouble in the primary process. A process that in most cases the extremes of both parties control.
In closing, please Go Vote and Think about your Vote But in all cases Vote it's your Right and more then that it is your responiablity as a Citizen and a Realtor!
As for me I'm voting for Senator Blanche Lincoln on Tuesday and Hope you will.
