We have to make it easier for voters to cast ballots. I propose enclosing an Official Voter’s Pen with each ballot since that seems the only thing lacking in our voting process. The ballot is mailed two weeks before Election Day, return postage is paid, candidate and issue information is readily available on line, comprehensive Voter’s Pamphlets mailed out for general elections, registration is damn near automatic. If only I had a pen…
I sincerely thank everyone who volunteered to be candidates in the representative democracy our Constitutional Republic is based upon. I now hope Rayleen Aguirre, Justin Brown, Hal Palmer, Jo Zichterman and Keenan Harvey (and their voters) solemnly recognize the ~only~ way Cowlitz County is going to make any real progress addressing the complex challenges we face regarding homelessness, addiction and untreated mental illness, is to loudly and proudly coalesce behind Amy Norquist and Mike Reuter.
Because make no mistake; electing hyper-partisan and veritable anarchists like Steve Ferrell and Steve Rader ~will~ ensure no improvements are made in these areas, and worse, they ~will~ sabotage any fragile progress that has already been made. Tough talk and magical thinking don’t do anything to help Cowlitz County or its struggling citizens. Belligerently turning away state and federal resources just to appease the rigid philosophical proclivities of the “I got mine, screw you” crowd is as depraved as it is illogical.
Let’s ~all~ work together to truly improve Cowlitz County! Vote for Amy Norquist and Mike Reuter!
