Welcome!

Congress? You reading this? Yeah, I'm talking to you. I'm a citizen and you're kinda sorta supposed to listen to me. I may not have voted for you, but the least you could do is represent me. Anyone else reading this, tell me what you think. This blog isn't just a blog, its interactive so get involved and speak your mind! Literally of course.

The Race For Governor Has Begun

No I am not running for governor yet. Although the election is two years away, if they are going to start early so will I. My job is to be observant and make an opition. So, here it goes. I do not believe Bruce Poliquin is the right candidate for the Republican Party at this time. He is certainly a good man, but not an adept one for Maine governor. His business experience does not make him (from what I know from his website at this time) qualified to know what policies will improve the Maine business climate. Thus far (considering the contact information on his website is still limited) what I can find out about him is not promising to his policy proposals or his success in government previously. This opinion may certainly change, but the presentation of Matt Jacobson's website and what it proposes (although still vague and following ideals it has some great specific proposals outlined coherently) covers more than Poliquin's website. Jacobson's businesses have provided Maine more jobs than Poliquin's. Also, the proposal to education laid forth on Jacobson's website is a good start to reforming our schools to excell even more (especially in the seeming-to-falter lower grades). [I have nothing against younger kids, but what used to be an inquisitive population is now seeming to be an uninterested, bored group of kids. I've seen this change occur myself over the past five years.] Beyond that, Jacobson knows the problems we are going to face in the future and that foresight makes him (based on their websites) more qualified than Poliquin.
