Hello Everyone,
Evelyn here,
with an excerpt from Governor Crist's "Notes from The Capital"

Dear Friends,
Dear Friends,
This week we witnessed a truly historic election. We can never take for granted that here in America – we experience the peaceful transition from one leader to another.
Now that the people of Florida and our nation have spoken, it is time for our nation to unite and rally behind our leaders – and our new President-elect Obama – with one purpose – to strengthen our economy and increase opportunity for our people. It is time to focus on getting things done – just as we have done in Tallahassee.
I have been very privileged to work together alongside Republicans and Democrats. Together, we have accomplished much for the people of Florida. It is amazing what we can achieve when we keep our focus on the people who really matter – the people we serve – our boss.
This week I visited a small business here in Florida that is struggling because of the shape our economy is in. I want to continue working with both parties to bring that business and the many others like it relief and prosperity.
We are moving forward in a bipartisan manner – not for the next election – but for the next generation.

Evelyn --
I'm about to head to Grant Park to talk to everyone gathered there, but I wanted to write to you first.
We just made history.
And I don't want you to forget how we did it.
You made history every single day during this campaign -- every day you knocked on doors, made a donation, or talked to your family, friends, and neighbors about why you believe it's time for change.
I want to thank all of you who gave your time, talent, and passion to this campaign.
We have a lot of work to do to get our country back on track, and I'll be in touch soon about what comes next.
Tonight America has spoken and achieved two undisputable victories. The first, the Democratic have ousted the Republicans, and second, to the glory of America has elected its first black president.
With 333 of electoral votes and in a night to never be forgotten around the world, Barack Obama beats John McCain and became our 44th U.S. president.
Before Election 2008 ends this Tuesday, there is one final battle of skill that our presidential hopefuls must pass to the satisfaction of their constituents. And that is can only be decided is the age-old tradition of the break dance. As conscientious voters, i know after viewing this video, you will rush out and vote your political consciousnesses to the utmost.
-------------------- Obama and McCain - Dance Off!

Hello Everyone,
Evelyn here,
At NoiseOff, there is a message posted by someone realized that not all of his/her neighbors can be trusted and that neighbors will lie during the course of reporting a crime. Below is my posted reponse. If you wish to see the concerned person's original message, logon to NoiseOff and read "neighbors lie, say they aren't bothered".
My Response:
I am surprised that there are still victims of crime out there who still believe that they can unquestionably count on their neighbors as bare witness to whatever crime that has occurred. The majority of them will not. They will either side will the offender(s) or become noncommittal regardless of what they might have seen or heard and many remain ignorance of the incidents behind the safety of closed doors.
And yes, they lie. Why? They lie because they are afraid to take a stand against the neighborhood toughs and criminals. Especially those criminals who are known to harass and harm those of us who attempt to change things for the betterment of the community.
Neighbors like yours, and I have them too, will tell you that you are a nutcase, that you are bothering everyone, while at the same time allowing the crimes and sometimes very serious crimes to continue. They will groups together and step up the noise, drive around more often playing very loud music will stereos with broken basses, they will to disturb your rest at night, and if their they have a very bad fly beat on their cars, there is no peace until they leave the area.
The following statement is important, but I am guessing you will know it to be true. While in your presence, they will try to manipulate police officers and security personnel, but do not be distracted by this display. It is only an intimidation tactic so do not back down. Continue to report the incidents truthfully. Such neighbors have become bullies themselves.
This has been my experience and it has not changed. Where I live now, and I have not lived here long, but they fear me because they know that I represent change and that is what NoiseOff is all about, changes for the better.
You have gotten many suggestions on how to handle the offenders and your neighbors in your area. As suggestions go, these are good ones. Also, join your community D.A.R.T. organization. If you are a religious person, your pastor will know of the group and your local branch. The local police department might know of the group also.
Keep in mind as long as you want change and actively work toward it, many of your neighbors will not like you and fewer will trust you. So stand strong, but get some real support behind you because you do it along and you cannot trust everyone. Not even your neighbors.
