I thought I was alone in this, but am discovering that more than one candidate has had this problem. Imagine that you are a valid candidate for state office, and like other candidates you get the questionaires to fill out and mail back for endorsements. So, you think hard about what you want to say, polish your sentences, and at the bottom of the questionaire, you discover that it needed to be mailed in last week. Huh? Didn't I open this yesterday? You look at the envelope. It was mailed two days ago, and well AFTER it was supposed to be turned in.
Ok, they made a little mistake.
Only it happenes over and over. So far I have discovered three candidates in this situation, plus another who not only was repeatedly not invited to candidate forums, but at times invited after the event took place.
It happens that all of these candidates are 3rd party, but I suspect this includes even more. If you are one of these candidates, please reply to waprog2@yahoo.com.
