The Mirror is not the only publication spreading falsehoods about me: a background site on the Web, which will not be named, here, has been displaying prominently, unfortunately, on searches of my name and city. Among other falsehoods on there, I am not originally from Georgia as that site implies, although I worked for a law firm there for about a year, but only lived in the Old South for that year. I was born and raised in Michigan. Also, I'm sure there are a lot of supporters for me in this Council race born in the early Spring, but I'm not an Aries, even if a million internet sites say that I am (so far only one that I know of), but I love Aries and I need their [your] votes.
Addendum:
There is a plethora of bad information and propaganda purporting to be facts on the internet, and citizens are going to have to separate the wheat (like fact-telling Council Run & Revived Citizens Party blogs) from the chaff in order to make good electoral decisions, and that's not always easy. By now, I shouldn't be, but I'm usually a little shocked doing searches under my name or my fledgling party's name, and seeing a host of misinformation, distortions, outright falsehoods, and misleading search terms or categorizations. Incidentally, be wary of sites like Wikipedia that allow mass, non-credentialed input into their data. It's a Ringling Brothers-type circus on the world wide web as you may have guessed.
