Mayoral Election

They are always telling us to remember. Go out and vote each first Tuesday in November. Each American citizen has a voice. We go to elect the candidates of our choice. We democratically seek to find a solution. This right is give to us by the Constitution. It usually comes down to a Democrat or Republican. The majority of votes determine who will be in. Each ballot is confidential once we close the curtain. In debates, they sling mud at each other. This year’s election is the same as another. Political issues usually amount to a plethora. It is no different here in Philadelphia. A mayor is to be chosen in the City of Brotherly Love. I say, pull the lever at the bottom, “None of the above”.
