Are you registered to vote?
The deadline in Oregon is October 14th.
Often I hear things like: "I don't do politics." or "Both parties are the same so why vote."
Or from some - I vote and that's it...not interested in the rest of it.
My take on politics is that it is everything you do.....
If you have a job - you "do" politics
If you are a union member - you "do" politics
If you ever call your elected officials abut something - you are "doing" politics
If you shop you are engaging in politics
ETC......
So - why not register and if registered - why not vote?
Politicians know who votes and who does not...it's a public record....
And this area of Bridgeton and Hayden Island have poor voting records....
Yet in the last year or so I know that many here and on the Island had "issues" to deal with in their neighborhoods. Here the issue was tackled by neighbors and only after a long period of time did anyone start calling local and state politicians...
And so we wound up "doing" politics - but a bit too late in that discussion.
Maybe this year Bridgeton can have a high ballot return to thank the politicians who tried to help?
They would notice - believe me - they would notice!
