Across the country mailboxes are being filled with politicians’ campaign ads. They don’t look cheap. Full color glossy card stock to try to convince voters how to choose. Most say ‘Vote For Me’, while some say ‘DON’T Vote for my Opponent’. It would be interesting to know how much is spent on these ads – especially at the local level. Does a city councilman earn enough to justify the campaign cost? Or is it an investment for the future and a run for a more prestigious position?
Do you suppose that any of these flyers will cause a person to change their
vote? Hmm, his smile looks genuine and honest.
Her eyes look thoughtful and focused. I don’t like bald heads, bright
red lipstick, the clothes they wear. How many people take time to actually
learn something about the candidates?
I’m thankful for recycling so all those trees won’t have
died in vain.
BUT WAIT!!! THERE’S
MORE!!!
This is just the beginning. In November we’ll be flooded
with Thanksgiving and Christmas advertising. There seem to be very few
retailers who don’t send a catalog or at least a flyer of some sort. More paper
to toss. Although there will be plenty of post-Christmas sales ads, it will be
a relief to see January arrive.
