Discouraged Voter?

As a Romney voter, this woman may get skinned alive in Marin County!

As I sit here finishing up my latest painting, off work with a knee injury for weeks, waiting for surgery, I am discouraged about VOTER DAY.

I have done my homework, checking things out with my sis in Colorado — her husband was a state legislator for several years and keeps up on the political front like no other in our family. Well here goes, they went to SEE Rick Santorum, Obama and Ryan so far. Rick was my first choice after Bachmann ... Oh, I hear the groans coming from all my liberal "fans" in Marin now.

After much study online, with sis, and with the movie at the Northgate mall, Obama's America 2016, I KNOW I am not voting for him again. I did last time and even bought his buttons, donated from my low income, and thought a man of color was the "ticket." OMG, is that how they say it?

OMG, Obama is the one NOT to vote for this time. Yes, he is cute at times. He is a good father ... well, that depends on his girls, he listened to about gay marriage?? What father takes the PRESIDENT lead over what his kids told him was right at the dinner table?

I'm an old radical, and yes, a rascal too — I went to ACLU meetings, political meetings, marches and the like. I went to money raise for Kathleen Brown in my distant past. But this time around, I am wearing a Republican coat!  

If you hate Romney because he is rich well, Obama is a multimillionaire, also!

It has been said that Obama is gutting America, ending our prayers, and for gay marriage as well as abortions. I have too much knowledge about all of those to say yes to them, or any person who runs for office with those issues in their "yes" column. I will at this point vote for most anyone other than Obama.

Enough said, I am sure my car tires will be flat before morning, my back will have a knife in it, and my American flag may get burned before Nov. 5. 

Just please remember: This is our FREEDOM to vote who we believe in.

Thankful for Moylan's Brewing, and their commitment to the community. Support locally owned businessRead More first in Novato.

Roger - Some of the stories written just before the software changeover did not migrate to the newRead More site. I'm keeping tabs on those stories that are missing to make sure they transfer over once the dust settles.

Julia-I see that you've totally embraced censorship. Is that why you don't have much disagreement onRead More your blog about your high HOA fees? Thanks for reconfirming my fears that the Patch has turned into a tool of those who pay for propaganda at the expense of truth. The power is not with the voter, but with those who count the votes, and opinions are votes.

Belford, I agree with you that the new format is not user friendly. I can't find recent articles onRead More affordable housing or on the N. Redwood building ban.

Making us start over is the plan to wear us down. Free press is paid for by advertisers, andRead More pressure is put out to stifle stories. That's what the tobacco industry did to 60 Minutes, and the Isreli government did to the Goldberg Report. The United Nations couldn't put out the story of mass genocide of the Palestinian people, and we'll be kicked off the blog soon because we don't advertise.

Craig I thought I was being overly suspicious but the new site eliminated months of research andRead More commentary and has replaced it with irrelevant banter and Ads. It won't even let you edit thoughts into smaller blocks or comment directly to another post. It is the ultimate dumbing down of Patch. If you have been following the Plan Bay Area debate here is a link to the response from the Supervisor's: http://www.marincounty.org/Main/~/media/Files/MarinGov/Board%20Actions/20130514CDAPlanBayArea-LTR.pdf There is also a presentation by the Marin Economic Forum on Plan Bay Area: Is it good for the region? Is it good for Marin? Calendar: Novato Community Alliance Title: Marin Economic Forum on Plan Bay Area Date: 30.05.2013 18:30 - 20:30 Location: Board of Supervisors' chambers at the Marin Civic Center in San Rafael " A forum sponsored by the Marin Economic Forum on the Plan Bay Area will be held from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. May 30th in the Board of Supervisors' chambers at the Marin Civic Center in San Rafael. Panelists will be Plan Bay Area proponents Marin Supervisor Steve Kinsey; Napa County Supervisor Mark Luce, president of ABAG; and critics Randal O'Toole of the Cato Institute, author of "Gridlock"; and Thomas Rubin, an Oakland-based transportation consultant and former chief financial officer of the Southern California Rapid Transit District. Moderator will be Marin Superior Court Judge Verna Adams. Admission is free."

We got sold down the river by the developers. Under the guise of a new improved format, they justRead More erased our history. Now we have to start defending our town all over again, while they are already in gear. Some of the opponants of AH can't get on anymore. Brent would not have allowed this to happen. Maybe that's why he left so suddenly, and unexpectedly.

Peter I am not sure which group you are referring to. I belong to Novato Community Alliance andRead More Novato Homeowners Association. Both are grassroots groups working with local government to ask much needed questions regarding Plan Bay Area. Your comments are reminiscent of a previous poster named Bud Lite who was engaged in heated exchanges. Since his name continued to evolve it was only his message that made him recognizable. No one can give you the world but NCA and NHA are both resources that can provide information and discussion of important local issues.

Hello, It took our groups letters to get the change as we do not want to read someones garbageRead More that takes twenty posts to say one thing . I have never had a heated exchange with you but I can tell you I was sick of reading your garbage like a lot of other people were. You and your group promised the world, told it the only way you wanted the outcome to be and got caught by the real people of Novato
Tina McMillan May 17, 2013 at 08:45 am
Peter aka Bud Lite Welcome back. Its good to know some things never change, like folks that trollRead More for a heated exchange.
Craig Belfor May 19, 2013 at 12:23 pm
Took me an hour to get here. Too much time. Too many anti Patch blogs, knocking the real issues offRead More the front page. Actually, free press is the real issue. Can we just pay and get back the old version? First you put the Novato Advance out of business, and now that you are the only news source for Novato, you change the game in favor of the developers by deleting the bad comments and making replies impossible. Sorry to ruin your needlepoint, Suzy, but we have more important things to talk about.
Craig Belfor May 19, 2013 at 12:18 pm
I'm saddened that most of the opponents to AH are blocked from the new Patch, which has apparentlyRead More been designed by a woman living in Hamilton who is mad at her HOA.
Roger May 18, 2013 at 05:10 pm
Tina, I agree that we should avoid the Patch until it returns the old format. Advertisers will jumpRead More out as well be because frequent users like you are leaving. Let's skip away.
Tracey Ruiz May 15, 2013 at 10:55 am
We had a story yesterday on Novato Patch with very lively discussion. Unfortunately it didn'tRead More migrate over with the new format. I'm hoping it will pop up soon.

Come out and cheer out local Novato high school teams. The kids are inspirational!
