We need a new position added to every political ballot in our nation. Caal it none of the above. Yesturday, I along with over 85% of Massachusetts voters failed to cast ballots on the primary to fill the seat of the late Senator Kennedy.
All four of the candidates on the Democratic side were names from the Boston area.
Few west of Worcester have ever seen or heard from them before, and with the exception of the winner, we will never see them again. On the Republican side, we had a party insider facing up against a person who was given little chance. Voters like me saw no real choice on either side and we stayed away in large numbers.
A "None of the Above" place on the ballot, would give many people a chance to have a real say. It would force both parties to be more accoutable to the people that they represent. Should that position win an election, the process would start over. We the people would come out a winner. Now before you start talking money, why not spend a bit more and get the government that you really want. Is that too much to ask?
