I am just out side of the Cleveland, OH metro area

I don't see how you can escape the influence of "big city" when you are just outside any metro area, regardless of the population of your little town. Here, in my part of the west it is 30 - 50 miles or so between small towns with no big cities at all. And even so, big city liberal influence is creeping in (they had their first queer parade a while back). Anyway, good luck and I hope you can get as far as possible from the big city.

Well we do have a small town government. But I suggested in the rest of the post that I want out.
