Candidates:
If you don't know the last
If you don't know the last names, you need to read some more and come back.
Also, some of these folks are speculative. We'll adjust the poll and reset it from time to time, just to keep it interesting.
Whoever we wind up with, I hope our next Senator is a competent manager. I'm really tired of hearing people say they are for SoandSo because they are for/against guns/gays/flag/troops/prayer/or whateverothersingleissuethatdoesn'treallymakearatsassinthelongrun.
Choosing candidates on that basis keeps the good people out of politics and keeps us looking backwards.
WC - well done...
I didn't mean the poll, although I like the idea of the first names and that if you don't know who they are you need to do some research. I particularly liked this phrase:
"I'm really tired of hearing people say they are for SoandSo because they are for/against guns/gays/flag/troops/prayer/or whateverothersingleissuethatdoesn'treallymakearatsassinthelongrun.
As much as we disagree on one thing and another from time to time, this is SO on target!

respect
I BELIEVE YOUR DOING A GREAT JOB, AND WHAT YOU ARE DOING HAS BEEN MOTIVATED WITH YOUR INTEREST AND ABILITY TO MAKE CHANGE, WE NEED MORE PEOPLE WITH THE BACKBONE YOU HAVE SHOWN, DURING THIS TIME OF ENDLESS ,RELENTLESS WORK GETTING YOUR MESSAGE OUT THERE.
SOME MAY AGREE AND OTHERS DISAGREE, BUT IN THE END, IT COMES DOWN TO WHO CAN TAKE ON THIS POSITION, MOTIVATE OTHERS , INSTEAD OF THE COMMUNITY HAVING COMPLAINTS, ONE DAY THEY WILL SEE THAT IF IT WAS'NT FOR YOUR FAITH, TRUST AND THE DESIRE TO HELP PEOPLE AND TAKE THE TIME , TO LET THEM KNOW YOU CARE, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK, IM SO PROUD OF YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!
