wealthy and most are far from it. The last school board election for
where Dan and I live had two candidates that aren't rich. One of them
lives across the street from me and has rented the house for 4 yrs. His
signs were bought by Dr. Weitz. A candidate wears several hats, one is a
fund raiser hat. <br>

I'll be sure to let my wife know that by my participation in the<br>
electoral process I'm above average, and we're evidently wealthy!<br>
