R's Could Keep Near Unanimous Control of Council

... if Democrats and Independents Vote Republican instead of Commons.

Don't be fooled by "Blue Dog" Democrat Adam Smith's endorsement of John Drescher (R); not to mention so-called Democrat Rodney Tom's endorsement: if Drescher, a supporter of George W. Bush and John McCain, respectively, during the '04 and '08 presidential elections, is elected to the Newcastle City Council in a few weeks, the Republicans will keep near unanimous control of the Council, and the probable make-up of the Council would stay the same: 6 Republicans out of 7 council members.  However, if Mark Greene (Commons) is elected, the probable make-up would be 5 Republicans out of 7 council members.  These numbers are N.P.R. estimates, only, because it is hard to be 100% sure since Council positions are technically non-partisan.

Please vote for I-522 this November, YOUR RIGHT TO KNOW about whether of not the food you buy is genetically modified. If GM food is the greatest thing since sliced bread (according to them), then why don't they want it labeled?

And I-517 should also be passed, which strengthens the initiative system, the people's check on the legislature and the governor.
