[Winona Online Democracy]
Title: Re: [Winona] new topic
To say the least, Kelly Herold and I have some
different opinions when it comes to the School Board.
But I do respect the fact that he (and Sue Brown)
still read and respond to Winona Online Democracy.
I also strongly agree with Kelly's suggestion that
Winona Online Democracy try to host some kind of candidate debate or
forum.
We have tried that before in the past but only had
very limited success because many candidates weren't willing to
participate.
Maybe it might work this time around.
This is exactly the kind of thing Winona Online
Democracy was created to do.
It obviously can't be me but would others be
willing to try to help put the forum or debate together?

I think an important topic
area is to consider the following.
I believe that the candidates running
for office should have a chance to lay out their positions on key
issues.
No where else would candidates have a chance to share with the
public their thinking as thoroughly as WOD.
The WDN blog and other blogs
have become popular and interesting I suppose. But where else can
candidates and the public get a chance to learn more about positions.
I
also believe that their should be some constraints that is WOD debate the
issues to be considered and each candidate given a reasonable word limit to make
their case.
For example, Mr. Voegli and I more than likely disagree on
the issue of school closure. Both of us have somewhat reasonable arguments
and even though we arent running against as of our interaction via the WDN and
blogs people know where we stand. If he were running for the school board
or if I were running again folks would be able to clearly compare
us.
So I ask that we consider
1.
Candidacies
District 31
senate
School
board
County
commissioners
Sheriff
2.
Then if folks are agreeable to that discussion as to what 4-8 major issues
pertinent to each office.
If this is done fairly and well folks could
be directed to the WOD as the place to be to learn about candidates.
As
is I dont know where else a compare and contrast venue can be birthed and allow
for good breadth and depth.

Something I personally enjoy discussing when I'm
able:
Why does the American media since WW2
try to terrify the public with it's
reporting?
It does not cover much of the
REAL good America, which is everywhere if you look for it, but
tends to prefer to make the public fearful and distrusting of their
government.
I realize that a fearful public is easier to
control than a bunch of free thinkers.
Any other
suggestions?
