Negative Campaigning


By and large, most people try to tell you why they would be a good choice for a position by listing their assets. Others, being largely insecure, have to resort to belittling and character assassination. And sometimes out and out lying.
We have seen this nationally, where men who have never served a day in the Armed Forces, call others, who have served with honor, cowards.
Where if you disagree with any administration policy, you are 'giving aid to our enemies'.
When you feel you can't win on your own merits, deride and diminish the achievements of your opponents. Or so it seems in many aspects of our political system.
I hope and pray that the men and women of our local, will resist the murmur campaigns of some of misguided members and remember to look for the people who have YOUR best interests at heart.
Vote FOR something, not against it. Vote with principle and respect for your important right to choose.

I agree with you 100%. However, I do not know who is running for all of the offices at this time. I look forward to voting in the new election and hopefully the BEST union brothers and sisters will WIN.

Sorry for the triple postings, but your comment section is having technological difficulties. When I tried to post a comment it and hit the publish your comment section it directed to "This page is not available and is experiencing technical difficulties...so I tried again and again and again then I saw it posted my comment 3 times! Oops! Sorry.....You may want to check it out. Thanks....Blog is AWESOME!

The first comment was deleted because it was a duplicate of the others and not because of content. The blog author did not know that this would be the result, so in the future, no attempts will be made to 'streamline' the duplicate comments. It could appear to be censorship and that will not be the policy of the free forum.
