To the Readers and Supporters of this website!

The reason that I took the website off line for a while is because it needs to be ready for the run-off races.  The site will be coming back online gradually!  I am not closing it down permanently for any reason, and you need to realize that anything you have heard about it from "any other source" other than me is definitely rumor and speculation on their part.  (In other word's wishful thinking!)  When I bring the site completely back online, I hope that all of you will still be here reading.  Bookmark this page, because when the site comes back completely it will be right here.  Here are the totals from last night's race, if you do not already have them.  The site endorsed these people if you remember,   David Hamilton,  Royce Abbott,  Kristy Gray,  and last but not least  Donnie Gentry. 

No one should say their vote didn't count... look at these two races:

Congratulations are in order for Kristy Gray our new "Elected" County Treasurer, who defeated Paula Swint, and won by 305 votes.

Congratulations to Donnie Gentry our new "Elected" Commissioner Precinct 1 who defeated Rufus Ward, and won by 29 votes.  

Our other two candidates are in a runoff which is just fine also, because "They Made the Cut" and we are very proud of them!

Congratulations to David Hamilton  and  Royce Abbott who are still in the fight for 6th District Judge and Red River County Sheriff, respectively.

Whether any of those who think they are the "powers that be" or not,  the voters did the right things.  We are by no means defeated with results like these, and far from it, because the fight has just begun.

Early Voting for the Runoff Begins March 31, 2008

Election Day is April 8, 2008

Don't forget to get out and support your candidate.  If you don't get out and vote, you loose!!!!!!
