LEARN, THEN VOTE

Those who are really angry this year and just want to ``vote the bums out'' because of all the media hype and negative campaigning should do themselves a favor and stay home on Nov. 8.

Some of us do try to become informed; understand there are quality candidates, regardless of party; and still believe in representative government. Leave the voting to us.

Those who vote out of anger, but don't really understand the issues, could do more harm than good.
