Election season is upon us, as evidenced by the increasing onslaught of lawn signs, mailers, and of course radio and TV ads to follow. I am taking a stance, and I want you to consider doing the same. If a politician wants to publicize their experience and political agenda, I’ll listen (and fact check). But if they’re using their campaign funds to produce and distribute or broadcast slam campaigns against their opponent, I won’t give them a second thought. They’re automatically disqualified from my consideration, or my vote.

What happened to integrity? Were they not taught that mud slinging is dirty, or that if you don’t have anything positive to say, don’t say anything at all?

I know this has worked in the past. and that’s why it’s done. Let’s all put the past behind us and set a standard for behavior moving forward. Please. I don’t care who they are or what they say they stand for, their lack of ethics are on full display if the point they want to make is how awful their opponent is. That’s no longer how anybody should win.

Join me in this. Spread the word. Share this and act on it too. #nosmearcamp
