Times really haven't changed that much

We in America do not have government by the majority. We have government by the majority who participate. -Thomas Jefferson

As true today as it was back in the day. I hope that everyone votes in a few weeks here. I also hope that everyone takes enough of an interest in their local elections to learn enough about the candidates to make at least a quasi-informed decision. With so many seats up for grabs here, I am having trouble keeping up, but will take the opportunity of my day off today to do some research. So far I am leaning independant in most races. We shall see.
