Appropriate Use

We will likely hide, delete, or remove posts that violate any of these rules and we may notify the social media service providers  of your violation.

As many school aged children often visit these pages and have access to them, as part of their schoolwork and may be looking into details about political figures, we do not tolerate any swearing, cursing, etc. and ask that anything posted be appropriate to be seen by young audiences. We may moderate posts at any time. 

Stay on topic. We encourage focused, thoughtful comments and discussion which respond or relate to a particular topic, new initiative or upcoming event. Comments which are not related to our content or attempt to derail the conversation may be removed. Do not hijack a conversation or post and try to make it about another unrelated topic. 

Be respectful. If you choose to post content, please keep in mind that you must not:

1. mislead us or anyone else as to your identity or the origin of the posted content, or falsely claim to represent a person, organization or entity

Please be careful.
