Any way, here's my own little "chest-thumping" part in the "process": http://mulemeister.wordpress.com/2008/07/09/hello-world/ Although I was part of a 4 person committee, we all worked very hard collecting the necessary signatures to get the referendum on the ballot, and now, with less than 2 weeks to go, I feel a great sense of accomplishment. The little guy "does" have a chance, no matter what the odds. And here in Lorain, when you go up against the dems, you have a huge mountain to climb. ……why does it not surprise me your children would understand what you have done, and how you taught them the democratic process.

Here in Ohio in particular, we really need to know what makes that kind of relationship between these very important people work. Thanks - and if you have more to say on that part about why you think it works for them/for the county, I'd love to read your thoughts. Really appreciated. :) That IS great, Maggie.

My story isn't so inspiring, but is a good indication of the good things going on with voting. The Lucas County Board of Elections has 4 very capable board members who are dedicated FIRST to holding an open, fair and competent election. They are not partisan in their approach to this. While the Secretary of State issued her advisory opinion that boards of elections were not required to allow observers during the early voting, the Lucas County Board agreed that there was nothing prohibiting observers and made the decision to allow them at the early voting location. There have been no reported incidences or problems during the early voting in Lucas County. So even though there have been issues in some places, things are working well here. For that, I compliment our BOE members: Patrick Kriner (R), Rita Brown (D), Lynn Olman (R) and Gary Johnson (D). What an inspiring story…and how fantastic that your kids learn good lessons from you!
