Now, I have

decided to go a step further and stop spending money on my campaign all

together. You will see my name on the ballot this November, but you will

not see my signs around town. Instead, I pledge to make a donation to

the fundraising effort to support the many children, spouses and family

members left behind by the firefighters and EMT personnel who perished

in the World Trade Center tragedy. I challenge all candidates in this

election, including my opponent, to do the same.

To date, I

have spent almost $1,000 on my campaign and I've budgeted another $2,500

for signs and advertising expenses. The amount of money it takes to run

a campaign in Peachtree City is between $3,000 and $5,000. We have 11

candidates running for office. That is $33,000 to $55,000 from our community

that could be better spent elsewhere.

There are other

ways we can run a local campaign. The voters in Peachtree City are well-educated.

We do not elect individuals into office because of the number of signs

we see throughout the community.

The Citizen

newspaper has already pledged their intent to print candidates' letters

in their newspaper. We can organize and attend public debates to help

educate the community about the candidates' positions on various issues.

And, we can use the Internet.

Anyone wishing

to support me in this cause may send a campaign contribution to the following

address: Nancy Faulkner, 112 Clydesdale Road, Peachtree City, GA 30269.

I will disclose your contribution on my Campaign Disclosure Report, and

after the election, I will send every dime to the New York Firefighters

9-11 Disaster Relief Fund, administered by the International Association

of Firefighters (IAFF).

Or, for tax

purposes, you may wish to send your donations directly the the following

address:

New York Firefighters

9-11 Disaster

Relief Fund

PO Box 65858

Washington

D.C. 20035-5858

This fund was

established by the International Association of Firefighters (IAFF). One

hundred percent of all proceeds will go directly to the families, spouses

and orphans of the fallen FDNY Fire and EMS heroes.

I believe that

all candidates in this election want what is best for our community. Let's

pull together now and send our money where it is needed the most. Thank

you for your support and may God bless America.
