Hi Everyone,

I hope you've all taken time out of your busy days to vote in the primary election today. It was rainy here, but I managed to get there between showers. The poll workers said it had be a steady stream of voters out her in West County. Couldn't get the hubby to go, but guess that's all right as his vote would have canceled out mine! I hear the polling places have ALL been busy and I'm pleased about that. We are so lucky to have democratic elections and no violence when we go to vote. Others are not so lucky. Thanks to our soldiers everywhere who fought and continue to fight, for our rights to be able to do that.

My dear sister, Colette, was out working at the polls today. What a tough gal she is, troubled with rheumatoid arthritis but each year makes the effort to work at the polls. Thanks to all of the folks that DO volunteer their time and make the effort. It makes for a long day.

Later on reading the West NewsMagazine I found they had a web site listing ALL The Candidates with their positions on the issues. Thought I'd share it with you all and maybe we can elect the man/woman we want. Take some time to review the site and then be sure to vote when the time comes! Feel free to check out The League of Women Voters site too!
