The TSRA-PAC 2012 voter’s guide has been posted. View the guide here.
One big gripe.
Looking down the list I see nothing but R’s and D’s.
At the end of the brochure, I see this:
Due to limited space, third-party & independent candidates are not listed
Limited space? Well, I guess these are probably still printed and there’s finite cost. I’ll grant that.
But welcome to 2000. There’s this new-fangled thing called “The Internet” and “The World Wide Web”. You might even be aware of it, given you seem to have one of those “www-dot-coms” yourself. Why can’t TSRA put ALL candidates on the website? Why can’t that subscript say “Visit http://www.tsra-pac.com for a listing of all candidates.”?
So, take the guide for what it’s worth, and do your own homework on the candidates.
This is a complaint that I have with many organizations; from the TSRA to Belo Broadcasting, they don’t include all the parties.
Why not, especially the TSRA? I find it ironic that so many defend their decisions with the idea that the ‘fringe’ groups don’t get enough votes but they can’t get enough votes without people covering their policies.
I asked Alice Tripp about this… and I have a response. I want her permission to post it tho. Haven’t had time yet to follow back up with her yet.
