“It’s Time!”

Wow!  It’s been some time since I’ve had a chance to catch everybody up.  These last few weeks have been a whirlwind of activity.  The ground has shifted out there and I suspect my opponent is now aware of it.  Everywhere I go people keep telling me “It’s Time!” They do it when they pick up signs, when they drop off a check, when they ask for voter registration forms, or simply when they send me an email.  24 years is enough they say. They tell me of the injustices they’ve seen.  They tell me it’s not what you did, but who you know.  York Countians want change and this race is the catalyst.

I did want to share some upcoming events:  Petition packets are now ready at my office at 46 E. Philadelphia St.  We will also be passing them out on Sunday, February 15, 2009 at 7:00 pm at the office of Jeff Gay at 1605 E. Market.  Those of you who have chosen to write letters to the editor, please keep them positive.  If you email them to me, I will fact check the content.  Thanks to you, I am more and more convinced that together we will win this race!
