Have the presidential opponents for November 2012 been determined a year early? We aren’t comfortable with that notion because our community should have more say in the matter.
Because there is nothing better than a well-informed electorate, we are starting an Unlikely Allies Project called “Hear Me Out” to educate Americans about the primary process and voting options; and to encourage hearing all candidates in every election. Listening to all sides could be considered educational or it could be considered reconnaissance.
While blogging and social media are useful, real Americans discussing information, issues and options in person is better. We feel the first option should be pointing out the fact that Georgians and other southerners may vote in either major party primary if they choose. While party purists dislike that idea, the option should be on the table.
In the tradition of Helen’s Political Roundtable, we hope to bring mixers, meetups and socials to your community soon. So, the “out” in Hear Me Out refers to interesting discussions out or off-line as well as listening to other sides points of views and opinions.
Hear us out and we want to hear you out. We might have more in common than you think.
Ted Sadler Helen Blocker Adams
