Its time to vote local. I am voting for Patsy Keever on Nov. 2. At the grocery store I “buy local” whenever I can — it is my vote against the corporate anonymity that degrades the quality of our food and our lives. And now its time to vote local, to fight the anonymous, corporate deep pockets that are degrading our political system.
Vote local, vote for Patsy Keever. Patsy is campaigning on her “Four E’s: Economy, Education, Environment and Equality.” She was a school teacher in our community for 25 years, and a Buncombe County Commissioner for 12. “Putting People First.” I like the sound of that. And what’s more, I like Patsy; she’s our local candidate.
Vote early, and Vote Local.
