'Time to elect one with open mind, eager ears'

'Time to elect

one with open mind, eager ears'

One of my goals in

this election was to shed some light on how important open government

issues are in our daily lives. It is a right you should demand and allow

no concession because it affects every single issue that our community

faces. It is the only avenue we have to hold our elected officials and

administration accountable for their actions.

But, instead of focusing

on past mistakes, I believe it is time to look to the future and give

Peachtree City a fine reputation to live up to. Dale Carnegie taught us

that "any fool can criticize, condemn and complain and most fools

do. But it takes character and self-control to be understanding and forgiving."

It is time to elect

leaders with open minds and eager ears. Leaders who will strive to see

things from another point of view. People who understand that those who

take the time to disagree with them are interested in the same things

they are. People who realize that there will be times when someone else

will have a better idea and that their mission on City Council should

be for the greater good of our community rather than for their own public-image.

It is time to elect leaders with the desire to accomplish their mission

and the courage to face adversity and rise above it.

My website at www.nancyfaulkner.com

provides you with an insight to my goals and objectives on City Council.

It explains why I am not accepting campaign donations, and why I am not

posting signs around Peachtree City. If you have any questions, I'll be

happy to speak with you. Please call me at 678-364-8371 or send an e-mail

to [email protected] . I need your vote! But, more importantly,

Peachtree City needs your vote!

On Nov. 6, you will

elect three leaders: a mayor and two council members. Consider that three

votes on City Council decide all city matters that affect us on daily

basis, and you will realize that the future is truly in your hands.

Study the candidates.

Listen to what they have to say. Put yourself in their shoes and try to

envision their motivation. Determine who has the experience, the passion

and the strength to be effective and still serve with honor. Then go out

and do your part to get them elected into office.
