AcyiA CIRCULATION | VERIFICATION | COUNCIL Actions speak louder than words In relationships of all sorts, from personal to professional and including elected officials, we often hear or read encouraging comments that are meant to impress the person who is on the receiving end of such comments, but in reality, one’s actions are much more indicative of the character of that person. We must learn to look beyond the glorified words and delve into the actions of a person before we truly begin to have a clear picture of who and what a person really is. This is particularly true of many elected officials. As pre-election rhetoric amps up over the next few months, we will be inundated with messages specifically crafted to impress or influence the electorate and portray candidates in the most favorable way possible. However, we must look beyond the paid messages and look at voting records and actions of candidates before we begin to have an accurate assessment of the individual. We encourage our readers to conduct their own research on candidates and carefully assess the candidate’s actions rather than basing a decision as important as voting on messages that are meant to positively influence. Most of us have been told all our lives that actions speak louder than words and at no time is this more important to keep in mind than when choosing those who should be representing our best interests.
