Voting awareness

Information

I wanted to create a group to talk about things that are happening that affect us politically. I think we all need to be smart and active voters, and i hope that starting this group will help to facilitate that for the south west. This group is about sharing opinions and ideas. Its good to share feelings about the elected officials who represent us, but this really isn't the place to campaign for someone or flat out lambast the people you dislike.

The more active and aware we are in regards to the things that affect us politically, the stronger we will become as a voting block. The strength we develop as an active and informed voting group will necessitate our elected officials to become more receptive to addressing out interests and concerns.

Green Party Candidates at the Flying Squirrel 7/11/13

Hopefully we will get to see all the candidates in debates before the elections.

Comment by John Boutet on June 17, 2012 at 6:20pm: There is still one thing you can do that corporations can't...YOU CAN VOTE!

You can if you're registered that is.

Please register and take control of your future.

Comment by John Lightfoot on June 16, 2012 at 10:26pm: Drew's comment on corporate personhood is just right on. Corporations have won more Civil Right litigation than African Americans. However, I did not see a link for the city of Rochester residents on the linked site.
