iePolitics: Need Some Help – Revised

Posted on by Administrator

I should be very happy for cops right now because I’ve been so busy I haven’t had time for the blog the last two days. Thanks guys for keeping it going!

I’m really behind on the Voter’s Guide for several reason: equipment malfunction, body malfunction, and attitude malfunction! Actually, I’ve just been sick and busy and fed up with my computer and Blackberry.

Anyway, there are still quite a few candidates I have not been able to get a hold of and if any of you are them or know them or want to contact them on my behalf, it would be great. Here is the link to my working draft (haven’t updated the site in a while) so you can see what I’m doing: www.sbcovotersguide.com.  And, yes, I know some of it is not working, which is why I’m so frustrated with it.  The current version does not work at all with Firefox on a Mac.  Works fine using Safari on a Mac.  I’m making the necessary changes so that it will work on any computer.

For those so inclined, here is a list of candidates I need help contacting: Continue reading →

I’ve sent every candidate that I can find an email address for an invitation to have their own account on the blog.  If you didn’t receive an email it either ended up in spam or I was not able to locate an email address for you.  Feel free to contact me at sharon@iepolitics.com and I will set that up for you.

The one exception is that I did not contact Central Committee candidates because there are so many and few people have an interest or even know what they do.  If someone would like to write an article explaining the Central Committees, I’m sure our readers would enjoy it.  And if you are a candidate for one of the Central Committees, you are also welcome to an account.  I know most voters have no clue.  Send me an email and I will set it up.

For the candidates:  I have added accounts for everyone I have received a request for so if you did not receive an email with your log-in information and password, please email me.

For everyone:  You may want to consider (especially the candidates) to sign up for a gravatar.  You can do so here:  http://en.gravatar.com/.  It makes your posts look more professional.  For bloggers, you do not have to use a photo, but can use a symbol of your choice so that you are not always represented by a squiggly monster.  The gravatars go with you to every site where you use your email.

For the candidates:  Please monitor your posts for questions and comments.  Nothing will chase away a potential vote quicker than ignoring their question.

One of the biggest roadblocks for challengers in any political race is the filing fee required by the Registrar of Voters office. We can help the challengers by signing a petition to waive the fee. For countywide positions, such as Sheriff, Auditor-Controller, District Attorney, Assessor, and Superintendent of Schools, almost 10,000 signatures will be needed and we have less than a month to collect those signatures. If you are interested in helping, or just want to sign a petition yourself, email me at: sharon@iepolitics.com

Thank you everyone for your continued support.  We’re on-line for about 30,000 hits today so I appreciate all who have stuck it out with me.  I’d like a little feedback since I’ve started the blog over from scratch.

Do you want the polls brought back?  They were certainly less-than-scientific but they were fun and not much work.

Do you want the newspaper articles back?  At this point Jim and I are doing two completely different blogs and I suspect most readers are reading both.  The articles are a lot of work, but I’ll do them by popular demand or is Jim’s inclusion enough? Continue reading →
