100% Pure Political Mud!

Sadly, we are seeing plenty of political mud this Election season.

It is very disappointing.

We, the people of Cedar Rapids, Iowa and the United States, clearly need to find a way to take back our political system and culture.

We need to do what is right. We need to find ways to make our public policy discussions civil, again.

Maybe the following would help in are discussions forward...

And so, "The Four-Way Test of the things we think, say or do" is suggested:

Is it the TRUTH? Is it FAIR to all Concerned?
Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?

Most importantly, Vote on Election Day.
