OTOH, your sponsoring a candidate for a HOA that isn't where you live isn't your issue, is it? In the latter case, you are meddling. In the former, you have a legitimate concern.
What you seem to be saying is that you vote someone into office to do something, he does it and you have no responsibility, is that correct?

By your definition, there is NO ONE, that I can go vote for. They all are responsible for passing a law that effects someone.
Do YOU normally vote for people with whom you do not agree on every single POSSIBLE issue that might come up for vote? If you do, how do you know what issues will come up for vote?
