What Can I Complain About Today? How About Some Readers. Geniusofdespair

Sometimes I get really mad writing this blog. I know I complain a lot but I actually do something, I don't just complain. I try to make changes for the better. I talk to candidates, I give money, I go to endless mind-numbing meetings, I hold elected officials accountable, I do research, I inform the public and if I support something I go out and do the work i.e. get signatures (recall, Amendment 4), hold signs for candidates, canvass, get people out to vote.

I worked hard to expose some of the fraud surrounding absentee ballots in a 3 Part Series on Absentee Ballot fraud.

Now, in response the Elections Department is trying to do something about it. Instead of focusing on what is good about this, readers are complaining on who is administering the program. Don't they understand that when someone is doing something good, they should be commended? There is a time and a place to complain. This isn't the time or the place. I worked too hard to make a dent. I resent readers bashing elections here. I tried for many years to get Lester Sola to do some positive things about absentee ballot fraud. Never happened. The leadership now is OPEN to make positive changes. What more do you want? What I want now is for you to volunteer for the program. Even if you hate the people in Elections, it is what we have, when you are really lucky, you can get rid of what you have that irks you: The recall of Natacha Seijas. Her ouster wasn't done with complaints, that was done with action, a lot of work by Vanessa Brito. When I delivered my petitions the place was piled high with petitions and there were 3 people working on processing them. People were coming and going. It was a tremendous undertaking.

You have to work with what you have sometimes because giving up is never an option.
