From the editor: We wrote recently our objection to candidates using an elderly or even challenged person as a stand-in to hold up campaign signs, especially in the Brownsville sun.  

Former Secretary of State Carlos Cascos commented on that article, adding that, not only did he hold up his own campaign signs, but post-election in 2006 he returned to the street to hold a "thank you" sign to the voters.


 Carlos Cascos


Back in '06 when I 1st ran for County Judge as a Republican, I campaigned by standing alone on street corners with my sign. I would stand for hours...it was humbling & tiring, but it was my way to connect with voters. It worked. The one thing I did that I don't think has been done since was to go back after winning, standing once again alone, with a sign saying thank you/gracias. We must never fail to appreciate all those that take the time to vote, regardless of political party...we are one community & we should respect all without demonizing those that may have different viewpoints or opinions...my thoughts....
