Want to take a moment and speak about politics. Local politics. So let's make a list of legislating bodies if you will. Shall we?
Parent/Teachers Assoc.
Local School Board
Borough President
City Council
Mayor's Office
State Assembly
State Senator
State Prosecutors Office
Judges
Govenor's Office
(Whatever I inadvertently failed to list, please. Jump in! The water's fine!!)
Now fast forward to the "local news" stories from states across the country, states wherein local bills restricting everything from women retaining decision makeing power over their bodies, up to and including the citizendry of states facing voter restrictions at a level not seen since the ole days. Not to mention states that are primed to allow people to carry any type of gun anywhere within the state, without fear of harm, reprisal or otherwise.
What I listed above is a microcosm of local areas where elections matter...areas where dicisions that eminate therefrom, have local consequences. Severe local consequences.
So, let's all not forget what Barak reminded us of a few years ago:
Don't boo, V O T E !!!
