And if you look closely at the candidates, you will not find anyone that fits that description more than Daryl Daugs (spelled with a 'u', not a 'w').<BR/><BR/>I have had the privilege of getting to know Daryl and his family for the past several months though our mutual support of the Obama Campaign, and I can safely say he is the real deal. There is much to be said for someone that spends everyday knocking on doors and meeting people from all walks of life because he wants to EARN each vote! Unfortunately, I am not in Daryl’s District and cannot vote for him, but I believe in what he stands for so strongly that I have dedicated my time to making sure he gets elected. <BR/><BR/>Let me encourage anyone reading this to really pay close attention to the difference in the candidates before voting. Vote for the candidate who has dedicated his time to meeting the people face-to-face and not the candidate that allows big money to do the talking for him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24356511.post-14021390888691560172008-08-08T09:47:00.000-07:002008-08-08T09:47:00.000-07:00I'm embarrassed about the spelling error in Daugs'...I'm embarrassed about the spelling error in Daugs' name - and it's been corrected as you can see.Lary Coppolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13125497144876522764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24356511.post-26295731510104573962008-08-08T09:04:00.000-07:002008-08-08T09:04:00.000-07:00Although you got his name wrong, Daryl Daugs is th...Although you got his name wrong, Daryl Daugs is the man for the job. To reiterate a letter posted to the Olympian, an interested citizen did a little research into Finn's financial backing. He had been bragging about how he had raised more than any of the other candidates combined. Looking in the public record she found the following:<BR/><BR/>"It's true. Fred Finn had $81,000 in campaign funds as of June 31. The average of the other three people in the race is only about $20,000. Big money always makes me nervous so I got out my pencil and did some figuring:<BR/><BR/>• $12,000 from "out of state." (I prefer a native to this area or at least this coast!)<BR/>• $18,000 from companies and individuals tied to "real estate development."<BR/>• $33,000 of his own money. (Fred Finn's Web site says he is a real estate developer who moved here from the East Coast.)"<BR/><BR/>Hmm. I wonder who Finn will "represent" if elected?<BR/>Daugs is clearly the best choice.Harmonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10875280474837546410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24356511.post-27631943257437794782008-08-04T15:24:00.000-07:002008-08-04T15:24:00.000-07:00Gehring showed that he has a conscience in this vo...Gehring showed that he has a conscience in this vote:<BR/>http://www.kitsapsun.com/news/2006/dec/13/none-excluded-from-february-ferry-election/<BR/><BR/>"I have to go with my conscience on this," said Brad Gehring, Bremerton city councilman and member of the conference. "I can't go with the redistricting for the benefit of this election."<BR/><BR/>Of course, the Sun's editorial board wanted to reduce the district's boundaries and eliminate the right to vote for thousands of county residents. Do they recall this?Micajahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16586317925722410844noreply@blogger.com
