We were really turned off by the robo calls (several during dinner hours each night) and the negative comments during this campaign, hence we did not vote. I wonder if others felt the same way or if they're just hibernating.

It seems to me that politics has become so ugly and negative that people just don't want to or don't have the time to participate - like everything else, how do we get people to do something that could affect their daily lives and future?

I was influenced by the fact that many local African-American leaders, in addition to most if not all of City Council, put there weight behind Tom Richards.
