Hey Dug. Good luck on your bid for election. Just wanted to share some of my thoughts. This past election, we were all inundated with the same old bullsh*** about how this guy is a nerd so vote for me, etc. The yard sigs were annoying, newspaper ads were offensive, and TV ads were reason to change the channel. I was most impressed with a no name who was running for our city council. While I had never heard of him, he sent me a two page letter detailing all of the problems he perceived with our city and what he felt would be a most effective approach to dealing with them. A lot of the problems that he had thought through I did not even know were problems until he brought them to light. I was most impressed with his approach and you can bet he got my vote. I even voted against a long time acquaintenance to vote for him. He educated me and gave me his position without insulting my intelligence, if you know what I mean. The letter was stuck in the door handle when I came home one evening. I suspect that his kids and friends hand-delivered them. He was never negative about other candidates or office holders, just that he thought he had a different way that might work. It was refreshing to see that somebody still thinks this corrupt old system of ours may still work. Good luck with your campaign.
