I wish I could vote with out seeing party colors or knowing the names and faces behind the ideas that will effect my community. I feel that as voters we get so wrapped up in the idea that because I decided to register with this party or that party, I have to vote in this direction. Why not become educated on a point by looking at the facts, and the results plainly and not through political-party colored glasses?
