I can tell you why I personally did not comment on this post or most other political posts - I don't feel they are objective or constructive.
I am registered as an Independent and would like for once to see some people on this forum post their reasons for supporting a candidate or particular legislation and stop wasting our time with the ongoing attacks on candidates and complaints about how broken the system is.
Example: I listed information on the Florida legislators' contact information several times (including website links) so we, as concerned citizens, could exercise our right to express our opinions to those who have been elected to represent us.
I believe there were 2 responses to my challenge for all of us to do something constructive and make our voices heard on issues of importance to us, regardless of what those issues are.
Seems like some people would prefer to spend hours going back and forth endlessly justifying their positions and trying to change other people's minds rather than doing something constructive.
By the way, I received replies from 4 of the 7 legislators regarding my concerns about energy independence. The other three will continue to receive correspondence from me. If we don't hold them to some accountability, we have no right to complain.
