Potpourri - 1/27/08

Just a couple of items:

1. The Minuteman Civil Defense Corps will be holding their first national conference in KCMO on Feb 1, 2008 at the Uptown Theater, 37th & Broadway. With all the fuss about this organization I still don't know why folks didn't complain about the Guardian Angels recruiting in KCK & KCMO.
2. The questionnaires have been sent to the 4th Ward primary candidates. They have been requested to return them by Friday 2/1. I would like to have the answers on this site next weekend since the primary 1s 2/26.
3. Go to http://www.jocoelection.org/ and check your polling place if you are in Ward 4. They have changed. The election office will also be sending out postcard info
4. If you are unable to vote in person on election day, then early in person and mail voting is available. The above site has the info. Regardless, get out and vote. Quit making local elections the low turnout embarrassments that they have been. Remember, approximately 90% of what affects you occurs at the local governmental level.
