And Orlando WILL Decide

As the facts and statements weigh in, the true and prepared candidates still await. Eventhough some people are not throughly investigating who are they voting for, the choice is still left to the people. Many candidates might carry out strong campiagn management, networking, buy outs, and or other social media campaigns but will they have the experience, and be prepared to step up to the plate when voted for.


 Many of these candidates are going out to the poll locations personally and showing their faces for votes.  Judges, Leon Cheek III, and Antionette Plogstedt were side by side campaigning one unprepared for the merciless heat the other standing her ground.  They've managed to grasp alot of attention by the neighboring fellow campaigners. We all know its not just about the labor you put in, but also the experience,  the skills, and what you have to offer to your position. To make a sacrifice like that and ask people to vote personally is well respected too.


      



   The sun out there has no mercy for those campaigning by the poll locations. From 8 am to 7pm there are people out ther campaigning for their canditates and working up a sweat as they do. The Geraldine Thompson Team has been out there form dusk till dawn. Whether they were sign holding, rallying or overnight flyer disturbution they were on one Goal, getting people out to vote for Geraldine Thompson. They stand out there till the rain starts pouring, to prove a point. 'Im out hear to represent this candidate' Though it may seem like a breeze standing holding those signs, smiling and waving it is hard work. Work that later on pays off for those that didnt even know it was happening.

    There are those campaigning that take it to a far
different level. Some find it amusing, others find it
disrespectful to running candidates. Those causing
a show, like dressing up as patriotic clowns will
not really show the public the right view for their candidate. It only gives their candidate a bad view but also shows unprofessionalism. Though these young ladies working for Victoria Siplin brought campaigners some entertainment, many called out " Quit clowning aroung Siplin". Others just enjoyed the show.
  
  






As the polls keep rolling in its only up to Orlando to decide. Lets hope that all of us are on the same page and vote for those candidates, Judges, School Boards, Comissioners, State Senates, ect who are serious, experienced, prepared, fit and ready.

Voice your Opinion by Voting

Too many people feel politics can be complicated. For those that are not into politics,you should be. Why? because all those complaints concerning  traffic problems, pay rates, unreasonable health plan payments, doctors fees or even stop signs that aren't enforced are just some of the many obstacles politicians must tackle. There are many things that happen in ones life that can be affected by politics. Its a political curtain that many do not take either the interest or time to look behind.
   WE THE PEOPLE as it states in the Constitution should be informed, educated, as well as concerned about politics. We should be concerned about who is in office or who is running for office. In addition to what they're bringing to the table or offering to address if elected. The politicians experience is  key in your choice of vote.As sure as you not wanting a surgeon operating on you if he or she had no kind of experience you would not want a senator with no experience addressing your concerns on the educational system our children are currently undergoing  . Why is it important? Because it causes a change in your house hold, in your community and surroundings.  It can affect the stores you shop in, the taxes on your paycheck ,and  the utility bills you pay for. Our country can be affected too.
   Voting is a right! Voting is your voice to politicians. Hey look! We are Here! HEAR! To better the future of  our communities, our country, ourselves, our children, grandchildren and our neighbors' children we must vote. Voting makes us all, sort of like a voting political family. How did we have the first African American president in the white house! Because we VOTED for Barack Obama. Voting takes less than an hour and gives you the pride in being apart of a major decision.
   In my own experience as i worked as a canvasser for Democrat Geraldine Thompson. A woman whom after reading her biography and researching about , I was moved. Serving in the house of representatives for 6 years  while battleling cancer for numerous months. I consider her a WARRIOR! Thank you Mrs Thompson.
    I am not asking to vote for her I am only asking for people to educate themselves and learn how politics can affect your life. Whether you are a home owner a renter or homeless.Whether you are White, Black Hispanic, or Asian. VOTE. Speak out! Every single person counts.
