BETTER OPTIONS

I am so disgusted with both Sanchez and Perry and their TV campaigns, I 
could just scream. They are so busy trying to undermine, belittle and smear 
each other that no one knows what each stands for. How do they feel about 
important issues at hand concerning our state and our nation? Who knows? No 
wonder people don't bother to vote! Our choices boil down to who is 
furthest away from a prison term at the time of election. Lowering the 
voting age should have pushed the voting places to standing room only, but 
how many young or old, are interested in even getting involved in a 
political discussion over candidates ripe with drug war, money laundering, 
tax evasive representatives.

Let's get back to basics, people. If you're close to being convicted of a 
felony, please don't run for office, just run. Please give us some better 
choices, or Mickey Mouse gets my vote - again!
