Politics has become a dirty word. In times gone by, Democrats would sling an amount of “mud” toward the Republican candidate and the Republicans returned the favor.

The winning party would apologize to the losing party, and then they would work together for the purpose at issues in order to carry out the job to be done; not any more.

Now the fight goes on, preventing the important issues and most likely never be resolved, we all lose.

Therefore I have no respect for either party, declaring myself a candidate for the office of County Mayor in the regular election in August, as an Independent candidate. This being said, I will ask for your vote of confidence, give me the opportunity to prove that which I proclaim whether Democrats, Republican or Independent, we are all one person separated for our own beliefs, desires & duties. I respect each person’s views apart from any inticement, from any pressure from anyone. Each person is no better or worse than another, I believe that whether a person lives in the farther ends of the county from Siloam to Hadenburg or any other pat have the rights to the same treatment. If I am the winner of this campaign I will most certainly remember that and act on the same. I am a Christian justified by the faith, saved by grace.

P.S. As for the Weinberg and the ACLU. By their own testimony they are all disciples of Satan; God will deal with them in his own way & at his own time. Until then stand firm in your belief. So be it.
