Talking local politics…

#VT – Some public officials love Front Porch Forum, because it makes it much easier to communicate with their constituents.  Others don’t care for it much at all… for the same reason.

Headed into Town Meeting Day, folks in one Vermont community have been asking selectboard candidates to speak up on their FPF and share their campaign platforms.  In response, one candidate posted…

I hope you’ll vote for me on March 6th for… Selectboard. You can find out more about me and my positions [on my website]. Because I believe that Front Porch Forum is better suited to finding lost cats than it is to political debate, I invite you to contact me with questions or concerns by email or by phone…

Now today we heard from yet another citizen replying…

Front Porch Forum is so much more than a place to post about our “lost cats”.  FPF is like your living room or a place at the dining room table where people can come and discuss whatever is on their minds. Yes, right now there are a lot of political things going on but that’s okay.  Whether you are for or against something, everyone is given a chance to speak.  Everyone’s opinion or points are important.  The forum is a recycling center, a lost and found, a place to advertise your website (including politicians) and a place where people can come together on all levels, help one another, and find solutions.  Thank you Front Porch Forum for being a part of our community.
