Byrd's Eye View

During a campaign season, it becomes more difficult to sort through the truth and lies that get swapped around.  There are some pretty inflammatory accusations out there, and they can make a candidate sound almost criminal.

Here's something important to remember:  All of the Presidential candidates have been vetted prior to this election.  All of them have been elected to public office prior to this election.   Thousands of people before now have considered their records and felt they were the best choice for public office.  Do you really think that something earth-shaking has been overlooked at this point?

Hateful, desperate people will spread rumors as if they are fact.  Sometimes they sound pretty convincing. 

Voters must check out every single e-mail, every blog post, every online article carefully.  Consider the sources of the information that you get and make an informed decision before you forward information to others.

Your vote should be thoughtful and smart -- just like you.
