Support candidates who will get things done. We need all the sane people we can get.

Sunday, March 13, 2016

Sometimes, it seems as though passenger rail supporters -- for all our foibles -- are the only people who aren't going crazy in this campaign season. But think about our neighbors and friends -- the bird-watchers, knitters, rockhounds, hikers, and even the science-fiction fans and cat people. They're not any crazier than they ever were.

If we all get together to vote for candidates who haven't gone off the deep end -- and there are some! -- we can go back to the business of improving our infrastructure. But we need to ensure that the White House, the Capitol, our state legislatures and our city councils represent us, not the kooks who seem to be out-shouting everyone else these days.

So please, support the sane people. Don't give up and not vote. That's what the crazies want us to do.
