says thanks for support

To the voters of

Fayetteville:

Well, now

that the elections are over, it's time to take stock of

what we accomplished and to look to the future. For my

part, after I took a deep breath and plunged into the

waters of the political campaign, I found that much of

the process is enjoyable. On the plus side, walking door

to door not only introduced me to my neighbors, it also

helped keep my waist trim! On the minus side, because the

campaign period was short, getting out the message was a

challenge.

But

overall, I enjoyed the campaign process. In fact, I would

encourage others to get involved, too! And involvement

includes actually going to the polling place and casting

your vote. To those of you who went to the polls and

voted for me, all I can say is many thanks for the

confidence you showed in me. To those of you who didn't

vote for me, well, I'll just have to work harder to

convince you to vote for me next time.

Remember,

it's important to exercise your right to vote. In fact,

voting is very important. One of the reasons for the

Declaration of Independence was that England had, at

times, refused the colonies the right to hold elections.

So to those

who for one reason or another didn't vote at all, I ask

you to exercise your right to vote the next time you have

the opportunity. Anyway, I know if we put our minds to

it, Fayetteville can turn out a larger percentage of

voters than Peachtree City!

Well,

that's about it for now. Till next time, remember, the

only sure things in life are death and taxes. It's too

bad they don't come in that order!
