It's Election Day

It seems there is no honor in politics these days. I'm so dismayed at the quality of choices  I have in my area, and their methods of obtaining support that I am seriously considering voting G.R.I.P (Get Rid of Incumbent  Politicans) this evening when I go to the polls for my district.

As I sit here typing this blog post, I receive a phone call (the 6th in a week) from 732 750-5580 with someone one the line on behalf of my union wanting to know who I plan to vote for. Now, I've told them on the first call to remove me from their calling list. I do NOT pay union dues for them to use my money wastefully on political endeavors such as this. I do not appreciate them attempting to influence my vote.

Not only have I received calls from my Union, but also from supporters of  the politicians for my district that are running for office. I've gotten calls from volunteers in DC, & NJ on my home and cell phones. I feel bombarded with so much propoganda that they think if the issues are clouded I wont see through the mist and draw my own conclusions.

I've had pamphlets come in the mail, and left on my front door. I want to leave a laminated note on my front door at home stating If you leave political propoganda at this address rest assured we will not be casting our Vote in your favor.

I want to call the radio station and say Dear politician, I don't care how much mud you sling on your opponent, I don't care how much you try to influence my decision -- it's still my decision.  And I'm going to make it on my own. I don't care that when I registered to vote at 18 I said I was a democrat. I will easily vote for a Republican, Independent, or Libertarian should I decide they are more qualified than you.
