Collins Bailey is a candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives for Maryland’s 5th congressional districtÊand he will be running against Rep. Steny Hoyer. Mr. Bailey, I believe, is a gentleman with moral character and integrity. Nowadays it is far and few between to have these qualities in a politician. We need to stand up and support these types of candidates.
We need to educate ourselves about the issues and where the candidates stand on them. We can’t always depend on others to give us unbiased information about the issues and candidates. We need to take a more of an active role to meetÊthe candidates and see where they stand on the issues for ourselves. We need to stop passing the buck. We need to pray and be responsible to vote on Election Day so all of our voices can be heard.
If we don’t take an active role and don’t vote, then what gives us the right to complain and criticize about our form of government and our elected officials? The right to voteÊis a privilege. Don’t take it for granted. Vote on Tuesday, Nov. 4. A lot can be learned from the candidates’ official Web sites which are listed below. Find out for yourself. Go to www.hoyer.house.gov for Rep. Hoyer. Go to www.baileyforuscongress.com for Collins Bailey.
