I have to agree with the others in the fact that the incumbents have years of history for all to see. How they have viewed and voted on issues is a matter of public record. There is nothing for them to hide. I have found all of them to be very approachable, polite and eager to answer questions when I've called them. They are a known entity and this is not a mandatory forum for candidacy. I find it the job of the newbie’s which want the incumbent’s seat to share who they are and what changes they would bring to the job. I appreciate the ones that have participated on the forum and for sharing their options with us. It has helped me learn who they are.

Cuz, I guess I am going to have to send out letter to each and every one of the Summerfield registered voters too asking them WHY the Northwest Observer doesn't want the truth told.
I think Summerfield voters are smart enough to ask what it is the NWO Observer has to hide.
The truth shall set you free. IF you can find it in the Northwest.
PS: Cuz, as you know, I already have the peel off labels for every registered voter in Stokesdale, Oak Ridge and Summerfield as well as over 3,000 envelopes and stamps which I had purchased to use in the fall elections. No better time to use them than now!

Thank-You to the Northwest Observer Moderator for helping make the case for complete and total change on the Summerfield Town Council in the upcoming elections.
You are a political challenger's dream come true. One of this year's subrosa or secondary issues may well be the NWO's uneven and underhanded treatment of some political candidates in Summerfield. There is clearly a double standard at work here and people of intelligence can see it.

There's always that awkward moment for bystanders when a child has a public temper tantrum to get attention. Should we ignore it for fear of giving the child exactly what he wants: attention?

Personal vendettas thinly disguised as politically savvy "truth" from a "political consultant" are still just personal vendettas. It's sad to watch.

It will be even sadder for you to watch on Election Night when the returns come in.

| Mike, you have been close to the political process. Why is it, do you think, that so many people unfortunately choose not to participate in the political process and vote? Is there anything that could be done to change that?

My feelings as to the reason people do not choose to exercise there legislated right to vote can be summed up as follows:
1.) Candidates running negative ads vs. explaining their plan and how it can benefit the community (without the negative contrast to other candidates).
2.) People believing that their vote does not matter.
3.) Complacency... ok with the status quo.
4.) Not involved with the community or they feel that they are not informed enough to cast a knowledgeable vote.
How to fix this? Engage the voters and encourage them to become part of the solution. Be involved. Question their elected officials. Make educated decisions. Be positive! Stop finger pointing!! Be part of the solution and don't keep rehashing the problem!!!
Remember you can lead a horse to water but you can not turn someone into an educated voter unless they want to be changed.

I agree with Mr Lovett but will add
5. Lazy
6. To busy with family and life
7. Just don't care
8. They think enough people that think the same way they do will vote
It will depend on what group fires up the voters (even with lies)and get them to show up to the polls....
If only people knew what some true Americans have done to give them this right........
