Voters, Candidates are Welcome to Blog on Patch

Over the last year or so, ArnoldPatch sought to provide useful information about the City of Arnold to residents. We're working to provide a place where people can come together and learn about what's going on in their subdivision, school district, city council meeting or a new business in town.

We are also encouraging people to use their voice, comment on stories, and using our blog platform to speak to a wide audience. We are here to tell you that this especially applies to candidates running for office. Our LOCAL VOICES platform lets everyone get heard, for free!

Of course, voters are encouraged voice their concerns.

The blog is available to any candidate in any race in Arnold. This is your opportunity to communicate to the  public in your own words.

In exchange, Patch expects fairness and civilility.

Patch will review blog entries before they are posted. We will not edit the content of entries-- they will either be approved or rejected. It is up to you to use links to content that supports the points you make in your blog posts.

Comments will be encouraged, and we invite you to discuss the issues those comments bring up, on the site.

Patch's Terms of Use requires civil discourse and discourages libel or slander, and the those requirements will be enforced.

Honest discussions of the issues are sought.

We know that you may have questions about how to use these tools, and we're happy to help you figure it out. Email questions to ArnoldPatch Editor Michael.delosReyes@patch.com.

We look forward to covering your campaign, and to adding your voice to ArnoldPatch Local Voices!
