Here is my opinion as a future voter: Everywhere I look there is campaign propaganda — commercials on TV, signs on lawns and roadways, and fliers stuffed in our mailbox. Just the other night I saw back-to-back commercials on a candidate that totally contradicted each other.

I have a solution. The candidates should take all the money they are spending in meaningless advertisements and give it to the Bea Gaddy center so it can really help someone. (I read the article in the October 4th Sun about the center being severely low on funds and having to turn off its phone.) If not the Bea Gaddy center, give it to some other agency that is struggling to help the constituents that are poor, homeless, and hungry. Tell the donors and backers that's what they need to do, too.

Commercials, radio and TV could direct voters to The Sun's summary of candidates' views on key issues and any voting records they may have. The candidates are all talking about fiscal responsibility. What about social responsibility? With my idea, they can demonstrate both. It would be better for the environment, too.
