The U.S. Justice Department has approved moving Town of Summerville elections from May to November of odd years, and has granted a one-time extension for current elected officials' terms so those running in 2013 will have a small reprieve until November.

The town will now use county polling locations instead of specialized polling locations. 

and it was officially approved June 19.

I know people who are gay and that is their personal choice. But at the same time it does not…Read More change the fact that it is unnatural ( show me 2 male or 2 females having sex that will produce offspring). For example if you put 50 "gay" male giraffes and 50 "gay" female giraffes together they will be extinct! The theory of evolution points out the fact its unnatural. Most importantly that it is clearly stated in the Bible that it is WRONG. God the Father and Jesus the son do love gays but that doesn't change the truth of the matter. If you want to define gay relationships then create a definition for it because it's not marriage. Since recorded history marriage has been between a man and woman period. The word smartphone is new to the day make up one for long term gay relationships. How about "gayrriage"?

Facebook isn't a political machine but it has apparently turned into a "follow the leader" social networking site. I support equal rights for all, just as I support finding a cure for breast cancer but all of these very dumb "mass campaigns" are ineffective.
