George,

It's really amazing how Will Harvey's straightforward message of Tuesday is being studiously ignored by you and your faithful correspondents.

I join Will in saying that is matters enormously who is elected statewide on November 6th.

Believe it or not, civilization as we know it will not stand or fall on when city council elections are held, but all of our lives would be impacted by a continuation of the Republican monopoly in Richmond.

So how about everyone switching their focus, right this minute, to Tuesday, November 6th?

You know what the jobs are; if you're not doing them, you are indeed part of the problem.
