Poll: Do You Read Campaign Mail?
In light of the upcoming election we want to know what voters do when they receive campaign literature in the mail. Do you read it or toss it?
With the Nov. 6 election coming up in less than a week, it appears as though politicial flyers are being mailed to homes in a rush to influence voters.
The accompanying photo shows five campaign cards that arrived in the mailbox of one local home in just one day!

Definitely agree the cost of some of these has to be ridiculous! Big postcards and in color glossy print! Why bother reading its the usual blah blah blah.....look at our country and our county we are not better off and Pinellas seems to be falling further into the recession and who is doing what about it??? just sayin..

Here are billionaires and millionaires spending hundreds of millions to get Romney into office. Just so they can get taxbreaks? They don't pay much as it is. Personally I think we need to do away with all "anonymous" donations, super PACS, cut the campaigning time down to 100 days, and set a maximum spending limit. If you raise more then use it to HELP America, not just to get your butt into the White House!

Yes, Grace, and Obama hasn't spent one penny on this campain... You're a raging hypocrite... And just so you know, the wealthy already pay most of the tax revenue collected by the government... Yet, Obama wants even more... He taxes and spends with reckless abandon, and when his programs fail, he says, no problem, we will just take more from the rich... That's not good leadership... It's just lazy, and shows ignorance on how our economy works... I say this as a middle class worker, struggling to pay my bills, like so many others... Obama is bad news for this great country, period...

Totally toss it !! It's never sent by a candidate declaring where he ( or she ) stands on an issue... But rather sent by the opposition full of finger pointing and half truths ! I prefer to do my own research and have usually decided WAY before the hate mail starts coming , who I'm voting for !!
Who is WILLIAM BINNEY?

I read everything I can get my hands on.............even the humorous trash daily filling our mail boxes.............(thanks a lot Dr. Paul for getting me to have a party affiliation for the primary!...........now I am bombarded with nonsense from the R gang)
Nocco's mailer was quite revealing..........he practically brags about his advancing through the ranks via his connections. Rubio helped him along the way and I'm sure all are aware of his wife and her connections with the R gang.
The sad thing is, Nocco actually does seem like a good guy......well intentioned......but he doesn't realize what his true duty is..........meh, enough of my semi-rant.......yes, read them all.............be a sponge and read everything you can.....the more you know, the more you'll know you don't know nothing!!

Well one thing is for sure, we know what Nocco looks like ! I see his picture everytime the Pasco Sheriffs Dept sneezes . I like what Nocco has done with some of the drug dealers , however the ones in the white coats are still free to deal drugs without reporting on a database . Shame on the republican party for this .

The money spent on this mail is a crime . The millions spent on tv is also a crime . Iam sure they spent well over a billion dollars already. All that spent for a few sound bites that no one believes.
