“Being active in local politics has many benefits, including a familiarity with the candidates.  In the interest of helping my fellow voters prepare for Election Day, I waive my right to a secret ballot—offering you my opinion and providing links to help you read more on the candidates and issues.  Clearly I am not impartial, but the League of Women Voters is.”
