If I ran for office I wouldn't consider myself a liberal or a conservative. That's a label that would be put on me by others who disagree. First of all, a politician is supposed to be just the voice of the people who elected him. ANY decision I made would be based on the input I received from all my letters and e-mail. Whether I liked the decision determined by the number of letters etc. I would vote with the decision made by the majority. I do have the right to explain the bill but the final determination should be made by those who write in. We elect people to be our voice, not to do what THEY want or would like to do. Now, a problem surfaces when money is needed to give exposure to any potential candidate. If we could persuade the news media television and radio to give equal free air time and coverage to any serious candidate. We could keep big money out of the picture at least concerning the electing of a candidate. We the people have come to a crossroad. We have to take a chance.

The majority is not always right. There are too many things about issues the public just does not know about or have not seriously considered the consequences. The general public is too busy to really educate themselves on all issue. Besides that, the general public is fickle.
