JAMES MADISON QUOTE - 1822

"A popular government without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but a Prologue to a Farce or a Tragedy; or, perhaps both. Knowledge will forever govern ignorance; and a people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power knowledge gives."

The 2012 Scottsboro Municipal Election Forum


The Scottsboro municipal elections are less than a week away; it is time for responsible citizens to make some important choices in their elected officials. One of our most important responsibilities we have as citizens is to educate ourselves concerning important issues so that "We the People" may make informed choices in our election process. All to often we forget that we are the government and our government is no more or no less than what "We the People" represent. Please vote on Tuesday, August 28, 2012.

The forum was an excellent experiance. The Election Forum will be broadcast on Scottsboro's Electric Power Board's (SEPB) Ch 10. Unfortunately not everyone has Ch 10 from the City of Scottsboro's Power Board. The forum was broadcast live on WKEA radio.

Each candidate was allowed a 90 second introduction, two questions were drawn from a basket by each candidate, answers were limited to 90 seconds for each candidate and a 90 second closing statement from each candidate.

Enjoy the pictures, they will be presented in 2 parts. Many thanks to my friend Gretel for taking the photos.
