    Yet, there is no information as to who the committee members are. Aren't these the folks that speak for the voters? What reason is there not to post who they are?

    The site is done in PHP. I am sure they could of made it look better than that.

    There are foot notes at the bottom on each picture..
    Kiss someone that's different. It helps.
    Lets get the facts first, then go for the jugular!!
    It's all transparent, just read between the lines..

    Photo #23: Dennis Ward.

    I'm pretty certain he's the Board of Elections Commissioner for the Dems.
    I never said I had no idea about most of the things you said I said I had no idea about.

    It would be nice if Democrats would spend time and energy undoing the decades of screwing up this area rather than maintaining a web site.

    Now, if they would just list the "characters." What are they afraid of?

    I was a Dem Committee Member for a brief time. I was sold on it as being the voice of the people in my small district. Then I found out there is no voice for the people and the notices for meetings and petition drives were last minute, freezing any proactivity by the committee members. I dropped out.

    Now, there is a show of concern with the Ellicott committee members scheduling a candidates forum this coming Friday. It is a closed door forum. Why? Any number of stories and relation of what each candidate says or stands for can be reported.

    I have tried to understand politics. I still don't and I don't want to. It's an exclusive club, no matter your designated party.

    Thanks, but that's only halfway done!

    Glad to put faces to names for the Democrats. Who's going to post photos of the Republican players now? Let's be fair now. SUWNY is all for equal opportunity.
    Even as a great rock is not shaken by the wind, the wise man is not shaken by praise or by blame.

    If I had time it would be cool to make an overview of the players rep/dem/IP for the most part.

    Thumbs up Political show

    there are too many players invlolved in a game. Too many. If you want to provide an overview of involved, you have to be more focused.

    Do you want to include all who play a middle field, offence or defene positions? What about goal-kickers and bench-sitters?

    The point is: define who's who and what role they play in a political game. Think about it as a show: everyone plays an assigned role. Don't forget a producer, custome and make up directors, and as ussual-a tickets seller, set up and after the show cleaning crew!

    The show must go on!
