WHOA, OOPS I am so embarrassed but as far as our state election goes...

...in March on the 16th, I will not be able to vote in ours to narrow down the field of choices.
Why, one might ask, and again I do know that you did not, ask that is, well I will tell you anyway...here's the embarrassing part, which is that Hubby and I are registered "non-partisans" and no we have no desire to change our status by our state's deadline, which happens to be February 16. 2016. I know!
Don't be angry or think that my interest in the whole shebang is disingenuous, because honestly it isn't, although in most of your minds this says that it is.
Blame our state, I do, not fair, all registered Americans should be allowed to do their diligence and vote in all elections.
I have been told that many states do allow nonparty declared affiliated voters to cast their vote in "the primaries", but not here in Florida.
Actually, eleven states have open primaries and do allow all of their registered voters to vote in spite of being registered as non partisans: the list is available here:
http://www.ncsl.org/research/elections-and-campaigns/primary-types.aspx  (Many of the states of the leftover states are hybrid, which means they are either opened or closed, check that out too, who knew, perhaps you did, but not me, so much more to learn, really!)
And as it will show you also that eleven states do have closed primaries, including our old stomping ground of NJ as well as of course here in our adopted state of Florida.

So I guess this is it folks my ability to be believed as a true fighter for what I believe in has diminished somewhat in all your eyes, oops! (I hope not.)
But whoa, in my enthusiastic dreaming, in order to have meaning, and a substantial desire to want a specific person to be our next leader has not diminished one iota and never ever will!
I speak my truth!

Confession is good for the soul, so they say... and that is the why that we will not change our affiliation and declare one party or the other; the truth is that we feel they should change the law not us change our desire to vote for the right person, not the party!
And then there is that they always sent all those annoying repetitive pieces of literature, paper wasting mailers and time wasting additionally of phone callers that bombards our homes as well as those emails etc.cluttering in our SPAM files, sent to all of us once they feel that you are one of them!
Obscurity and anonymity are also a choice that we had decided on years ago. (Okay so not so much here. They still cannot track us down and torture us with waste material! HA!)
Complaining then/now is seen to some perhaps as hollow heralding due to not many getting us for the whole need to be a part of the voting system with our right to vote, ridiculous!
We truly believe it's bologna that we cannot vote to narrow the field and most of you should too.
Caving to their game play seems most definitely like the wrong way to go, but I suppose that is just a matter of opinion, mine and Hubby's too.
So the stalemate stays.
And two less votes will be counted, sadly, but only in the primary.
We have to wait until November to be heard and since by then the decision will be made as far as how this tight race goes finally and so wrongfully our choice will have been decided for us.

Alrighty now I have come clean and there is so much more that I can do and that is still find out as much as I can about the candidates and so should you.

And on this note of additional confusion to me and many others I am more than sure, allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy healthy safe good night and ask you all to kindly count all your blessings and share all your overages with you know whom and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, a hear!

PS Once I make my final decision, which is coming soon I will be a campaigner for that person until the end of this marathon election season and that final outcome is announced for our new PRESIDENT!
