Empowered Ignorant Voters

Dear Source:

Remember Arturo Watlington referring to us as "ignorant voters" earlier this summer? With the POWER OF OUR VOTE and the POWER of having the most registered voters ever in the territory we can remind Mr. Watlington and all the candidates that it is our votes that run these islands. There is a great push among active citizens to clear out the house and clarify our future. Now is the time to vote in fresh names and energy to our government because together we can. Don't waste your vote on those that think we are ignorant. And if you don't vote, don't waste your voice complaining.
Jane Higgins
