How to Speak To Politicians

So...politicians are people, right? They put their socks on one at a time like the rest of us average Joes, right?

So how is it best to speak to a politician?

Main Line State of Mind

You know what? Most of us in Main Line communities have similar issues. The boundaries might change from municipality to municipality, but the issues are the same.

To an extent, each local government is virtually interchangeable. What is different is the level of finesse.

But the Main Line is full of stories and opinions, and that is to be the focus of this blog within the SAC site.

So if y'all are of a sensitive nature, get over it. I wasn't put on earth to be continually politically correct.

As a matter of fact, I pride myself on being politically incorrect.

Why Is There Always So Much Ado About Blogging ?

I believe in exercising my First Amendment Rights and am going to do so now and quite liberally.

Let's discuss blogging.

Blogging is like an ever changing "Letter to the Editor" for the Internet age. Blogs give people a chance to voice their opinions however they see fit. Basically, you go to the web and you will find blogs on all sorts of topics.

Political blogging is now as common as opening that newspaper or turning on the T.V. or radio. This website didn't invent the wheel on that, only added to the conversation.

Grassroots activists all over use blogs to get the word out. This website didn't invent the wheel on that, only added to the conversation.

Does the conversation get salty sometimes? Yes. Does it get too salty? No, that is why we have a webmaster.

Do we welcome anyone including politicians to blog? Yes.

Time for sweet scent of lilacs and new development plans
By Carla J. Zambelli

Ahhh Spring! The landscape is lush with greenness and the air heavy with the scents of lilac and old fashioned viburnum. But what else does spring bring us as citizens up and down the Main Line? A full course of new and disturbing smaller development plans to peruse.
