I want to encourage you to exercise your right to vote this next week. And, pass it forward to encourage your co-workers, friends and family to do the same.
In our state, there are several hot issues on the ballot. I have my opinions and there are equally strong ones for the other side. I am honored, proud and plan to act on my right to hold and express my opinions at the ballot box.
I first 'voted' in a 'straw vote' in high school. I was 'hooked', but had to wait until I was 21 to express my opinion. It was great when some of my kids could vote at 18 and an honor to help them register to vote.
We're getting some controversial campaign recordings on the phone. At first they are kind of annoying, but they don't last long. One of the ones that came in here sounded like a person, so I found myself 'participating' in the survey. When the recording asked me how I was going to vote, I just popped back -- That is none of your business. The recording was set up to analyze YES or NO, not a phrase. It was sort of messed up!
The Missouri State Attorney General says the calls do not violate the Do Not Call Rules. Some are concerned that the recordings often do not let the connection go when you hang up. They say that if you had an emergency, you couldn't use your phone until the recording released the connection. This seems a bit of a stretch, but does give someone something to argue about.
We figure that the elections are the life blood of small media services like Radio, TV and newspapers.
No matter what, don't get too annoyed to vote.
