I guess I am just getting grouchy. I got an email from my supervisor Pete Candland around 6 pm telling me I still had time to vote. I was ok with that. It’s a good thing for our elected officials to remind us to vote. It is NOT OK, however, for them to tell me WHO to vote for. Here is the email:
There is still time to vote!With polling locations closing at 7:00pm, there is still time to cast your vote for Barbara Comstock and Ed Gillespie. We need your help to elect good, honest, hard-working people to represent us in Washington.I’ve had the opportunity to get to know both of these individuals and can tell you they are committed to moving our country in the right direction.
I hope to see you at the polls this evening.
Pete
There was still time to cast your vote for Mark Warner and John Faust also. Pete can remind us to vote but he needs to drop the partisan crap when speaking to me, the constituent. Now, if he is at a Republican meeting, or with his R buds, he can say whatever he wants.
Sorry, I have just had too many folks telling me how to vote lately. I don’t need a last minute reminder from Pete. what really grated is that the Gainesville District has at least 2, maybe 3 U. S. Congressional races going on. I had a choice of Mosher and Wittman. Is Pete not even aware that HIS party aligned his district so it is chopped up like a tomato? I couldn’t vote for Barbara Comstock if I wanted to. I am not in her district. (I would never support any candidate who voted yes for that ultra-sound bill.)
Have the political messages just driven you crazy this election cycle?
