On many occasions, political candidates scale the large numbers of parade goers and give their little bit of time that they have back to the people. What many times gets lost in this is the true sincerity that the candidates have towards the prospective voters as well as giving them the answers that they may need, not what they want. Additionally, is the time that the candidates spend on their own giving to the people. This often gets taken for granted. Many know that I currently serve in a politically elected office, I can attest that my time spent doing the job is often unnoticed as well as unappreciated.
On to good news though. Today at the Norridgewock Labor Day Parade and Oosoola Days, we had an enormous turnout of Republicans for Sen. Susan Collins and Prof. John Frary as well as many of our local candidates of Peter Mills, Phil Curtis, Donna W. Finley, Angela Courchesney, and Walter Gooley. The "sea of red" that accompanied Sen. Collins was a testament to her strength in the party as well as her standing with Maine voters. The followers of John Frary, although minuscule to Collins, was yet another example of volunteers putting forward their time to support a candidate that might not be the mainstream, but yet says what he believes. That in itself is a feat all to its own. I was just glad that both of them as well as our local candidates took their time today to give to the people who don't normally see the good side and also time consuming side of politics.
I'll just end here by saying Thank You to all the candidates that volunteer their time to run for office as well as all their volunteers that give so much of their time to help their favorite candidate. Thank You!
As always with me, God Bless America! For if he doesn't, America may not be the Land of The Free.
