<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=281100221-02102005>Wanting to be an
informed citizen, and not having the benefit of any literature whatsoever on
any of the city council/mayorial candidates for the looming election, and not
knowing all of them personally, I thought I would just visit their
Websites for the information. Lo and behold, I could not find a Website for
even one of the candidates, which is unfathomable to me this day and age. I
would think that it would be the first thing a candidate would do, even before
filing. In fact, it ought to be a requisite for running. I can't think of a
better, more cost-effective means of letting the broadest spectrum of citizens
know about you and your platform. I find it difficult to take a candidate
seriously who doesn't have such a simple, rudimentary means of informing the
constituency. And, you can say so much more on a Website than you can in a
brochure. It's not as if Moscow consists of a bunch of computer illiterates.
If fact, it is<SPAN class=390204416-03102005>,</SPAN> perhaps<SPAN
class=390204416-03102005>,</SPAN> a little insulting to the community that our
candidates seem to be so electronically
unadroit. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=281100221-02102005>I must say,
though, that the search exercise was not without its amusements and awards.
For instance, I found a quotation from Peg Hamblet informing the City
Council that, as an aerobics instructor, most of her students would not pass
the strictures of the topless ordinance. I discovered several
probate notices for Walter Steed, and found that he may be a judge in Utah
with three wives and countless offspring.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=281100221-02102005>Anyway, I
say shame on all of you, and I suggest that you get with it and get
out some e-blicity for your own good and the good of the community. It
will save you money in the long run. Consider a blog as a possible
alternative. By the way, I'm available for Website design. I charge $1500 per
hour, but give deep discounts for candidates who promise to vote as I
dictate--just kidding. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>
