We have had our share of disappointments, and some things have not turned out as we have anticipated. Nevertheless, I sincerely believe that what I have stood for and the actions I have taken were done with honorable intent. jjpiflfflfin tlfo IMiirnMn c am I believe that in order to lead, one must have courage. An elected official MUST have the stamina to represent the people and withstand adversity no matter what the repercussions may be. During the past eight years I, as your elected representative, have refused to let "MACHINE POLITICS" dictate my decisions. Because of this I have come under extreme attack from various elected and officials in our county. My privacy has been violated, my integrity questioned, I have even received numerous threatening phone calls. Believe it or not, on one occasion while returning home from a meeting I received further warning in the form of a bullet through my automobile windshield. I guess you could sum it up by saying that I have refused to let "Big Brother Government" rule the destiny of the people whom I was entrusted to represent. non-elect- ed Irregardless of the complex experiences I have encountered over the past eight years, my desire to serve far exceeds my fear of machine politics. Only in America could I have had the opportunity you have extended to me over the course of the last eight years. For this privilege I am very grateful. I have made a lot of good friends along the way and they have sustained and complimented me on many of my actions as your County Commissioner. These people are the people who have made this whole experience worthwhile. I shall never forget you! Regardless of the outcome of this election. I believe that I will still come out a winner because I have stood up for what I believe to be right! I love our county, its people, its majesty and the potential that it holds for future generations. Moreover, I love our country with all my heart. 1 strongly believe in the words of a United States Marine who lost his life in the Battle of Iwa Jima in February, 1945 who said: "America means everything to me.
