OK, elections are here and we are inundated with signs and ads. Am I the only one who is put off by the campaign ads that DO NOT tell you why you SHOULD vote for this person or that, but that attempt to tell you why you SHOULD NOT vote for someone.
As a responsible voter, I want to know what each candidate stands for, from THEM, not from their detractors!
And am I expected to vote for a name on a sign beside the street? Why would I vote for a name without knowing ANYTHING about that person?
We receive information on all candidates, we are able to listen to their platforms, their goals and ideas for making our society, city, state or country better. Shouldn't we USE that information to make an informed choice and not be swayed by negative ads and mindless name signs?
What good are the campaign ads that are highly negative remarks about someone's opponent, that does not say anything positive about that someone?
Makes you hate voting, doesn't it?
Just my take on the current situation!
About Me
- Betty
- Please visit my website at http://www.bettyalofs.com. I am the mother of 5 (4 boys and a tomboy), grandmother of 8. I have been quilting since 1989, and opened my business (Betty A's Designs) to create and sell pictorial applique patterns in 2000. My first book was released by Krause Publications in 2006, titled Quilt Your Favorite Photos, Shoot it, Sketch it, Stitch it. I participated as Artist in Residence at the Empty Spools Seminar at Asilomar, Pacific Grove in April 2007. I was honored to appear on Simply Quilts with Alex Anderson and on the PBS show America Quilts Creatively with Sue Haussman. To have been nominated as Teacher of the Year in 2003 was also a highlight of my quilting career and a great honor as well.
