Notice the letter was mailed in "Bagwell".  Hum...  
Who do we know that lives in  Bagwell?.........."Mark Perkins"

It is amazing that these signs were OK during the Primary Election when 4 candidates were running in the race, but now that there is only 2 and one of them is their appointed Sheriff, the signs have come to the attention of Val Varley County Attorney.   Just who are  these public ......complainants.  We heard that Terry Reed filed a complaint with Val Varley.  This is the letter sent to Mr. Abbott requiring him to change all of his campaign sign's because of his "FOR" being 3/8 inch too small.  When you read this letter, you will see that Varley states that complaints from the public about the size of the word "for" is the reason that he was requiring Mr. Abbott to do something about his signs.  While at the meeting in Avery I heard Mr. Read talk about the illegal campaign signs.  Who of us out in the community would even know that there was a law requiring the "FOR" to be at least 1/2 the type size of the office, which was in this case "Sheriff"  Take a look at Mr. Reed's signs,  they do not pass muster either, at least now that we know.  This is just another example of the "anything and everything" to keep Royce Abbott from becoming Sheriff.  Val Varley was heard to say he was doing his job.  I say that he is overdoing his job, to the benefit of the appointed acting incumbent.  Who of us really cares about the size of Abbott's "for", or for that matter the size of Reed's "for".  Since Varley has sent no letter to Reed, we can assume that Abbott's supporters don't care, but Mr. Abbott is out putting "For" labels on his signs that were furnished to him by his sign company.  This is another example of Val Varley selectively choosing who to punish and who to ignore.  This method of thinking on Val Varley's part also extends to just who it was that committed an offense.  It's amazing, in the last paragraph of Val Varley's Letter Page 1,  he states that there are rules for political campaigns and everyone must abide by these rules.  OK VARLEY, YOU NEED TO SEND A LETTER AND MAKE REED CHANGE HIS "FORS".  He was not elected to the office, he was "APPOINTED" by the select few. 

                 I forgot, it doesn't count in Red River County for the select few!!!
