For the next run

at elective office, there will be a campaign

My name is Bill Bryan. During

the past six months I ran as a "Goldwater Conservative" Democrat

on the "Choice in Education" platform for the Fayette County

Board of Education, Post #3. Frankly, I ran a terrible campaign. At a

minimum, I should have had a few thousand flyers printed and hand delivered

them or had kids deliver them as I have in other races in Fulton CountyI

did not do that. I should have contacted the Fayette homeschooling networks

and Fayette parents who send their kids to private or parochial schools

(and, whose SAT scores are most probably melded with Fayette government

schools to raise the government schools's overall SAT scores about 80

points.)I did not do that. I should have tried to arrange speaking venues

at local churches, Rotary, Kiwanis, Chamber of Commerce, etc.I did not

do that.

I must apologize to the Fayette

County Democratic Party which welcomed me as a "Goldwater Conservative."

I must apologize to all the citizens who voted for me because I was more

interested in making a statement than in winning an election. Finally,

I must apologize to the politically powerless children of Fayette County

government schools, most of whom do not know how academically lacking

their primary and secondary education is.

If ever I run for public office

again, I will run to win!

Our county needs a well-educated

citizenry to remain free and strong!
