While the point of my Blog is not to discuss politics, my Douglasville law firm has been involved helping candidates in several local races throughout Douglas County. Law and politics are inextricably linked. I am involved to try to help make a difference in which I live and work. In the July 15th election, the turn-out was very low. There was a run-off election on August 5th in which turn-out was even lower. In fact, the only local race on the August 5th ballot was for the Douglas County Board of Education. About 1,000 people voted in this election.
Whether you live in Douglasveille, Lithia Springs, Paulding County, Carrollton, GA, or New York, NY, the decision made by politicians all levels affect our lives. Please remember to vote on November 4th, 2008. This may, perhaps, be the most significant election of our lives.
