Voter Frustrating Education

Here we are 3 days before show time (election day 2010) and there is no star of the show. What are we to do? Who‘s going to look out for our best interest? These questions came to mind as I was researching this week’s voter education topic. This past week I attended several meetings around the state with grassroots political voting rights activists to discuss a post election agenda. The one issue talked about and factored into any proposed plan was how they control us. Just the thought of having to fight the powers that be, we also have to fight the “Ya Sir Massor crew”. You know, that bunch of so called do gooders, and in some cases, they are our selected leaders. They parade around with a knife in one hand (for stabbing you in the back) and a Bible in the other. You hear them, they say stuff like I’ve been talking to folks (massor) and they tell me….and we get s*****d. What happened to the backbone? You know the ones we all knew about during the civil rights movement, standing tall, looking out for the less fortunate. It has been replaced with jello supported by weak knees. The thought of it all seems like something from a syfi movie. Imagine a little tick behind their ear sucking out free expression and draining the life out of individuality. When it’s all said and done, our communities still suffer from a serious case of “Ya Sir, Massor, S***w Them.” On the other hand, exposing these jackals isn’t as important as protecting the hook up for goods and services. Can I get an amen!
On November 3, 2010, we go back to square one, getting ready for the next election cycle. First up is redistricting. Take the time and review our guest blog of the week from Fairvote.org: http://www.fairvote.org/redistricting-reform-on-november-ballot/
It’s show time….time to review the options available to all registered voters and especially the ones that actually (20%) vote. We make the difference as to who gets elected. We can no longer allow someone else to set our agenda. The squeaky wheel gets the grease! It’s your choice! Keep on doing the same old thing, letting the “Ya Sir Massor crew” s***w us without lubrication or become the force they know us to be. A lot of people are listening to what they say but remember some of us not only listen we actually hear you and we do know how to get to the bottom of the okie doke…WE follow the money…….
