Labor Day

A month has gone by, I was focused on researching candidates in Michigan. They were challenging since a lot of them didn't have campaign websites or an account on Facebook and Twitter. It took me a couple of weeks to dig up as much information about them. I am now working on three candidates in South Carolina. One of them is running as a Green party candidate. His website is pretty interesting. It doesn't tell me anything about where he stands on issues we have listed in our spreadsheet. Instead he is trying to act smart and mix art with politics. On his website you can make vote toast. What the hell is that? Basically you put a piece of bread in a toaster oven... simple let it get toasted and then you scribble vote on it. It's simple, do that, make as many as you want and put it in random places. It doesn't sound like a novel idea.

Then there is a libertarian running for office. I am trying to figure out where he stands on big government and spending. I spent part of Friday listening to his podcasts. He has a slick website but he doesn't state where he stands on issues. He did post articles which are pretty interesting. They deal with national security and how the two main political parties are screwing up this country. Finally another Green party candidate is running but there is not a lot of information on him. It's now September, hopefully I can achieve my goals while I am here.
