The sad thing, Tom is that we have about 500,000 registered voters in Jacksonville and only 190,000 turned out to vote for a leader of their city. When does the majority of the 500,000 vote? This will have more of a impact on their lives locally than a federal election turn-out will. If someone dares to complain to me about Brown being Mayor, i will just ask did you vote in the last Mayoral election? IF they say no, then i will say, quit complaining, you created this problem. We have a serious problem of voter apathy, and you can not change things in this country unless you start locally and then on up.

To All Concerned FCTP members:

Yesterday I was a Poll Watcher in the North West section of the city. I was amazed at how people with all sorts of physical problems kept coming through the doors.

People in whell chairs blind pepple, people that could not stand to vote, even a gentlemen over 100 years old.

Then to hear that people in Jacksonville Golf anfd Country Club and Queens Harbor the voter turn out was less than 10 %.

With this kind of apathy it's no wonder the vote is so close.

I hope that if and when the Brown admistration takes over the city, these people will remember they were too busy to go to the poles.

I spent 14 hours yesterday at this pole and it really angers me to see the I Don't Care attitude

demostrated by these people.

+Voted early and took my father too. They have a form to fill out to asist someone in voting. I started to fill one out which he would have to sign also. I started to fill out the form because he dropped his cane at one point. They did have a chair for him to sit in to vote though so it wasent needed afterall. Thats a comfort  to know that a form must be filled and signed by both people to " asist " someone to vote. I sure hope the creeps from out of town are not able to steal our election.

I'm truly sorry that I cannot be with you tomorrow to feel your energy and numbers at the polls.  Alas, I am out of town visiting relatives.  Fear not, however -- my vote is already cast, as is my wife's.  We always vote absentee.  Tomorrow -- be proud; be loud if you want -- I'll be listening.  Though I may not be able to stand with you, I stand behind you -- and there are many more like me out here.

I have sent emails in and out of the county with all that has been posted and told friends outside the county to send to family and friends in duval county and keep passing the info along because this is just a small snapshot of what is going to be occurring in the 2012 elections. More deceit, more lies by dishonorable and untruthful candidates pandering for votes.

Don't live in the city but have been talking it up to my friends that do.  Wish I could vote and

be a part of it.  We on the outskirts are directly affected also.

Can we start calling him 'Downtown Alvin Brown' because that's the only interest he seems to represent.
