Dear George,

Believing that the criteria for political materials not being allowed within 50 feet of a polling place was meant only for candidates and their campaign workers, I entered the voting hall (Kent Store Fire House, Columbia District, Fluvanna County) to cast my vote wearing a Kerry/Edwards sticker, an Al Weed sticker, and a Hate is Not a Family Value bumper sticker plastered across my purse.

No one said a word to me about it........though I was suspecting that I was getting some nasty looks........just paranoid? I doubt it.
