I would like to thank everyone that supported my campaign and those who
voted for me yesterday. I knew I would have an uphill battle in this
election running as an independent candidate. What made things even more
difficult was the incumbent’s fundraising advantage of nearly 40 to 1
and having a Democratic candidate in the race didn’t help to increase
our odds much either. But what probably did the most damage to the
campaign were the St.
Petersburg Times’ lies about me being a “White Supremist” with a racist
platform.
Despite all of these things we still managed to obtain 1,888 votes in
the election.
For me this race wasn’t about gaining prestige or even the salary of the
position, it was about trying to bring this state off the path of
self-destruction and putting it back on the path to progress.
Unfortunately,
Representative Legg nor the legislature
is prepared to deal with the continuing economic downturn plaguing our
state.
There is going to be a great deal of pain and suffering in store for
Floridians and sadly the government and the
mass media don’t care. The only way to
mitigate the damage will be through the selfless acts of individuals not
through government action. The politicians have proved to all of us that
they’re more concerned with meeting the needs of the special interests
and not meeting the needs of the people.
For those of you have a burning ambition to bring about positive change
for the people of our state
please contact me and we’ll talk.
