Endicott for leadership

I want to thank the Democratic Party for sending my family the information on Irene Endicott. It was quite a big flyer and I am sure it cost quite a bit to produce as well as send out.

I was an undecided voter with regard to Irene Endicott. I am no longer an undecided voter. I will be voting for Irene Endicott.

The main reason I am voting for Endicott is that the Democratic Party’s mailer was clearly aimed at frightening the voter. Aren’t we a little too sophisticated for that old Democratic trick? Perhaps the party’s writers need to take the time to actually contact the local voter to get the real pulse of their intelligence and gullibility. Fear, anger and hate worked eight years ago, not anymore.

The flyer that was sent was full of the above. We don’t need someone to save us from big bad politicians – we need leadership. Someone who is willing to face the issues, without the fearmongering. The candidate to me is someone the Democrats pointed out in their flyer: Irene Endicott.
