YOU KNOW WHERE I STAND
I have purposely not made a large number of entries on this blog. I believe I have answered the fundamental questions that a voter would ask of a candidate.
If you aren't reading Democracy in Albany (DIA) (http://democracyinalbany.com you are missing out on the best interactive local political blog regarding Albany politics. Look at comments to a number of entries over the past several months, and you will recognize that I have been posting on DIA. I thank DIA for providing Albany voters with a site where they can become informed on the issues in Campaign 2005; and where voters and candidates can interact, exchanging views and information.
The majority of candidates, including incumbents and challengers have little or nothing to say - no message - no clear stands on the issues vital to the future of Albany and to each and every resident of this city. Proof? The failure of those candidates to post and interact on DIA.
Metroland has done a public service by presenting the results of interviews with candidates for the various public offices. These can be accessed at Metroland.net or on DIA Election 2005.
WAMC aired interviews with the four mayoral candidates. Go to WAMC.org or scroll down to the entry below which provides the link to the WAMC interviews. WAMC will keep the full interviews available for your listening pleasure until Election Day (Nov 8).
I urge you to take a close look at the Metroland series and a close listen to the WAMC radio interviews with the mayoral candidates. Also, read DIA regularly and contribute.
Pass the Word tell your family, friends and neighbors about the above sources for obtaining the information needed to cast informed votes in the September 13 Primaries (polls open Noon to 9 pm) and the November 8 General Election (polls open 6 am - 9 pm).
Albany is still a word of mouth town. Do your part to create a truly informed electorate. Thank You
Joe Sullivan
For Mayor ROW A NOV 8
