So, my friend Lowell Ray Barron’s father (also named Lowell) is a longtime democratic state senator in Alabama. For reasons that probably need no explanation, the state GOP is attempting to get Sen. Barron’s name dropped from the ballot, and the local radio news station has an online poll that is currently trending toward Evil.

I therefore ask all of you to take my word for it and head on over to WAFF.com to express your studied opinion that Sen. Barron’s name should NOT in fact be removed from the ballot. Vote early, vote often.

Thanks!
