Enjoy this halloween cartoon created & submitted by a friend
This is a political ad from the 2012 election cycle that was brought to my attention
This year the ads in CT have been a year of Nasty Attacks which people are getting sick & tired of.
What people want is to hear & see what do we candidates plan to do to get our state back on track
Where do we candidates stand on the issues
We candidates need to be able to contrast ourselves from our opponents with out attacking & name calling. Stick to the RECORD, stick to any Plans Proposed but leave the family dirty laundry out of the debates when trying to get the people's votes.
Being nasty or digging up dirt about personal family members that has nothing to do with the job of being an elected official - divorces are never pleasant & to drag out what happened years ago although available for public record is wrong & only hurts the innocent children who have to relive a horrific time in their family's life
Let's ALL Pledge Republican, Independent & Democrat as Candidates this year to Run On The Records or Plans & Stop the Attacks that hurt the children in debates & ads & social media
As I'm going around the 2nd District I am amazed at how many young people are not paying any attention to what is going on in our cities & towns.
Most of those who aren't paying attention have never attended a single Public Meeting at the Town Hall
About 1/3rd of those I've spoken to weren't registered to vote but were actually able to get registered
The majority of those who are registered to vote they only vote for the Presidential elections...
I confess when I was young & single & a renter I did fall into the category of voting only in the "big elections"
I went out to vote for president & if I remembered I went out to vote for the governor but the rest of the time not so much time & energy was paid to make that effort
I know that until we became homeowners that I had never gone out to vote on the budget
It can be discouraging to see & hear so many young people that are disengaged in our political process
I did give a couple of the young people the mail in form to get registered to vote
I hope that they will get out the vote this year
When we fail to Vote we Lose Our Voice in what is happening
So I hope that as we are in the last few weeks prior to elections you will get active in paying attention to the events
Get educated on the issues & #GOTV Get Out The Vote
#CT #YouHaveAChoice you can chose the status quo or you can become part of the #CTComeBack
Chose to go in a #NewDirection & vote for a #FreshNewStart
