Strickland. I am appalled by your attempt to use your military background to engage voters in this area. I am a decorated, retired military member from the the Cold War with numerous campaign medals. Being awarded the Global War on Terrorism Medal was a give away! Many, many men and women earned it. Wan't the California Legion of Merit an award/medal for National Guard? Listen, your flyer placed prominently on my front door begged to be read. A bit of advice - please ensure your read your handouts in the future. Proper wording, sentence structure and syntax is important. You haphazard writing is an insult to everyone who reads this garb. - Being a family member who owns a ranch doesn't qualify you to address the issues. Why don't you point out the government subsidies your family received for owning a ranch? Did any of that money go back to the public (tax payers)? - WILL WORK FOR NOTHING - are you kidding me? Are you kidding anyone with this? First, it would be against the law and local regulations to have a public figure work for nothing. Do you know how many before you have said the same thing? This tactic is old and bothersome. - Being an NRA member only means you have paid your dues. Are you a spokesperson for the NRA? Sir, I am unable to determine based on your handout what your agenda is aside from wanting a position to further suit your personal resume. None of the bullet points on your handout stand out or even suggest you would be a good candidate. Lastly, if you are a Republican, why is it the second to last bullet point. Stand up and take ownership on your positions. [yawn] This is to G. Strickland. I am appalled by your attempt to use your military background to engage voters in this area.

Hopefully the voters will see this for what it is and re-elect the incumbent supervisor.
