Waite truly independent
I am writing to voice my support for John Waite for Spokane City Council District 3. Waite isn’t owned by any group, he doesn’t owe any favors. He is simply a citizen who has been watching over the years as our votes mean less and less. Unlike most of us, however, he is trying to do something about it. He still believes our system can work.
In a day when even small local positions are controlled by special-interest groups, it is important to elect somebody like Waite who answers to no organizations other than the citizens themselves. That is, after all, a true democracy, and that is what we desperately need, more than ever. Even at the local level.
If you want your vote to support a special interest, go ahead and vote for the incumbent, and help propagate our local nonrepresentative government. If you want your vote to really signify change, vote for John Waite. He isn’t a politician, and speaks with unaffiliated honesty.
