Last night, our slate was invited to the Jackson Tea Party meeting to be introduced to the group. Mike Reina was the President of the Tea Party, so naturally they knew him. There were many people, both Democrat and Republican, who also knew Mike Kafton. There were some who knew me or had met me recently, but I did not know the majority of the people. Both major political parties were represented, and it felt good to be able to reach out to both sides of the table.
We had a chance to introduce ourselves. It gave me a chance to articulate my views on the state of the Township. The people were very receptive to our non partisan slate, and they were very welcoming and cordial to us. They will be inviting the other slate to address them as well, so they can hear both sides present their view of township issues.
Now that our requisite number of petitions is in, we can concentrate on the election itself. We have several coffees, debates and meetings planned. I know I will be meeting many people of all different political beliefs. I believe if we can get our message of non partisanship across to enough people, we will be elected. It is really quite an experience to be running for Township office.

Glad to see that politicans are finally recognizing the need for non-partisanship. Its time to get this country moving again at the grass roots level.
