If you do one thing on Nov. 3, please vote. Although you might not think so, it does matter, and there are qualified individuals who will be faithful representatives for you.In particular, I want to make sure that you know about my dad, Judge Paul P. Panepinto, the only Independent candidate for Pennsylvania Supreme Court justice.Judge Panepinto is very different from the other candidates. Having been a judge in Philadelphia for 25 years, he has worked in every type of court setting. He has been a strong advocate for children and families. He has acted with integrity, fairness and honesty throughout his career. Perhaps most importantly, Judge Panepinto is independent and is not beholden to any political parties. He believes in working with and for the people and restoring integrity to the high court.Too many of us are waiving our rights to participate in this democratic process, and as a result, unqualified, corrupt individuals are being elected to our high courts. Quite frankly, they are failing us. We need to take judicial elections more seriously and make it our business to ensure that the people who will stand up for justice and demonstrate integrity are being elected.I can promise you that Judge Panepinto will continue to serve the people as he has been doing for years. I urge you to make your voice heard, and vote for justice above politics.Lynn PanepintoWest Philadelphia
