Martin,

   Finding a great candidate is a swell idea BUT you know as well as I do that the people who DO have the ability to make sweeping changes care very little about the folks who have empty cupboards or can't afford their medications.

   I think that ALL elected officials were required to live on the average income of what their constituants (sp?) do for 1 year, we would see much more attention paid to the little man who struggles daily to make ends meet. I know that even the county clowns around here...er...wait...I meant commissioners....yeah...uh huh...that's what I meant....are incredibly out of touch with how the local population lives.

   Yes, I also know that it's a voting issue...but sometimes the choices are to pick the lesser of two evils.
