You've got the right to run."<BR/><BR/>Track 3 -- song say, "Come With Me." Guy survives with reaching hand of others.<BR/><BR/>My older campaign theme songs are on the CD too:<BR/> Think Again<BR/> Lay the Shovel Down<BR/><BR/>I assume we're on the air in the 10:00 hour for Fun Fridays.<BR/><BR/>The prime message I hope to deliver is for the recruitment of "Running<BR/>Mates." This is follow-up from Marty's prior shows.<BR/><BR/><BR/>I don't know if I should be in the studio or on the phone? If I'm on<BR/>the phone, I'd try to get to a land-line, not cell.Mark Rauterkushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17157914569686528007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7481330.post-24649105673657913892007-03-08T07:25:00.000-05:002007-03-08T07:25:00.000-05:00Thanks.And, thanks too for the reminder / advice.A...Thanks.<BR/><BR/>And, thanks too for the reminder / advice.<BR/><BR/>As a sideline, there is a big scene in the movie, Pride, where that same line is used, "This is OUR House."<BR/><BR/>The other important effort is to understand who is and who is NOT a real friend of democracy. People don't need to be my friend. But, I'm wondering who is trustworthy and who is not when it comes to doing (acts) the right things. <BR/><BR/>I'd rather know early as to who are friends and who are foes. <BR/><BR/>I feel confident in saying that Onorato is a foe of democracy. Blocking our ability to witness the vote count was unacceptable. Not fixing it when it went onto his doorstep was unacceptable. <BR/><BR/>The competent approach would have been to welcome the poll watchers as requested and permitted by law. Very simple. And, after we were blocked, he could have said sorry and changed the written policy to insure it never happens again. He didn't -- yet, still.Mark Rauterkushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17157914569686528007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7481330.post-4069938599548288622007-03-07T23:34:00.000-05:002007-03-07T23:34:00.000-05:00Thanks for putting your hat in the ring...

Hope we can get vote counting observers into the process on election day on your behalf.<BR/><BR/>Honestly, I understand how frustrating it is engaging the machine but, I believe, clear and gentle will win more ground 99% of the time.<BR/><BR/>I will never forget you saying to the BOE and Dan, "This is our house!" (County Court House)... now, those are words to stand behind and beside.<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>Richard King<BR/>(412) 400-3773Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
