Top Ten Reasons to worry about the upcoming election
- The opponent in our Senate race thinks global warming doesn't exist.
- The opponent in our Congressional race plans to get rid of Social Security as we know it.
- One candidate for governor plans to scrap our public pension plan, effectively cutting my income by 30%.
- The opposing candidate for Senate is out of touch with the middle class, which means me.
- The opposing candidate for Congress has moved in and out of the district several times; whom does he really represent?
- Many candidates talk about cutting taxes by reducing education budgets - budgets that have already been cut to the bone.
- Candidates are talking about judging teachers by their students' test scores. If that's the case, people, give me a chance. Bring these kids into my class reading and achieving at grade level.
- I can't afford to donate enough to my candidates, but I can't afford not to; if the wrong side wins, my working conditions will worsen severely.
- Misleading advertising might just tip voting in the wrong direction.
- Negative advertising might encourage people to stay home, and low voter turnout is never good.

In Florida, we have a candidate who is thinking about raising the sales tax to 23% and a Governor candidate who defrauded the US government for a billion or so dollars....oops, sorry, it wasn't him personally, it was his COMPANY and he says he knew nothing about it.
And all the "nonpartisan" Republican candidates are FOR conceal and carry legalization. SCARY!
