Death Knell for Democracy?

When writing yesterday's blog listing all the local, county, state and national campaigns for office -- and the need, I think, to Vote Democratic from A to X -- I recalled a line from our Founding Father's about the need for a "well-informed electorate."

But I doubt if we have a "well-informed electorate." Everybody's got their own lives. Everybody's busy.

FACTUALLY we have a very Low Voter Turnout and rather than being "well-informed," the slate of candidates and districts is confusing from the beginning and how could we possibly get to know them all?

So, there are some cracks in the Liberty Bell.

But I believe it's best to vote rather than not. Not voting is giving up. Voting means hope. So it just comes down to a personal choice: Do you want to give up or do you want to keep hope alive?

This year I say: VOTE DEMOCRATIC: FROM A TO X!
