No John, I am not kidding. John, you are all ate up with honesty, honor, and the need to give back to society.
Think about it. You are intelligent, conscientious, open-minded, and ethical. Name me one politician with those qualities! John, if I made a bet with anyone, I would think of you to hold the money. You have the brains, education, ability to express your ideas, and the talent and ability to get people on your side. Why not you? Give me three good reasons you shouldn't be one of the people that spend our tax money. You, my friend, have a rare curse; you are a good man. We need good men to step up to the plate. Even if you don't win, you can change the tone, conversation, and platform. No one wins the first time out, unless the incumbent does something absolutely moronic. Still. The Repubic would be better off if people like you tossed their hats into the ring. At least think about it, in a very serious way. I'm not kidding. I am one of the guys that talked Buddy into his last run. The guy that beat him is in federal prison now. Buddy was a better choice. People can be stupid. That should not dtop you from from doing what you can. I heard the call and served almost two decades in the military. I am not suited for public office. I think you are. I, for one, think you should consider it. Think about it. I mean it. Just think what if, and why not? Heck, I didn't even ask what party you belong to John. I am a rabid republican, but I could care less if you are an anarchist; I think you would do a better job of planning for the future, our kids, and our country than anyone in office today. Think about it. 2006 is a long way off. I'll bet we could make it work though. Doug --- John Hebert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > What? Are you kidding?
