Date of Town of Culpeper Elections

[mreill01]

Date of the elections for the town government officials and poor voter turnout.

I think there may be a reason that these types of elections are held other than in November. Another reason for poor turnout may be that there are no coordinated efforts among those that do have interest.

I've had my fill of the way Culpeper is governed. All of the complaints of police and other "hot topics". I've had my personal dealings, as many already know. The same old guys keep being re-elected! Why??? Do folks leave their memories and minds at home when at the polls? I tried, in my hope and way, of an attempt to do something about the problems by creating this web site . I hope you visit and try to give it a chance and invite others to join you.

Rupert Wilson Quaintance Who has time to care? What, with SUVs and video games and American Idol and endless crappy country songs about blowing up brown people.... People are far too entertained to care. This is how Rome fell.

Gary Triplett Then, what are we going to do about it, Wilson? I have some ideas, but it means that we'd have to get away from our "SUVs and video games and American Idol and endless crappy country songs about blowing up brown people" for a little while
