Okay, so many of you have noticed that I took a bit of time between posts. Some unforeseen circumstances have caused me to take time away, and these circumstances will continue to do so, so there will be some minor changes coming that will effect the layout of this blog. Plus, I have not jumped into local issues as much as I would have liked. So, here is your chance. There are some local elections and statewide elections. Let’s have some dialogue about these. The following elections are here in the SOF area:
Jonesborough Mayoral Race - Roger Dillow v. Tobie Bledsoe
State House District 1 – Jon Lundberg, Kevin Smith, Jerry Dykes, John Robert Harrison
State House District 7 – Matthew Hill v. Fred Phillips
State House District 9 – Mike Harrison v. Lewis Hopkins, Jr.
State House District 11 – Charlotte Leibrock v. Eddie Yokely
State Senate District 1 – Steve Southerland v. Duran Williams
US House District 1 – David Davis, Rick Trent, Michael Peavler, James Reeves, Mahmood Sabri, Robert Smith
US Senate – Bob Corker, Harold Ford, Jr., Ed Choate, David Gatchell, Bo Heyward, Gary Keplinger, Chris Lugo
TN Governor – Jim Bryson, Phil Bredesen, George Banks, David Gatchell, Marivuana Stout Leinoff, Charles Smith, Howard Switzer, Carl “Twofeathers” Whitaker
Give me your feedback on each race. Who will win? What is the key to victory? Who gets your vote?
Dear Tennessee Voters,
Greetings. My name is Chris Lugo and I want to be your Senator.
I am the only candidate running for United States Senate from Tennessee who stands for peace. I want an end to this illegal, immoral and unjust war in Iraq that has claimed the lives of over two thousand Americans and has cost us hundreds of billions of dollars.
President Bush had no business sending troops into Iraq. He lied to Americans about weapons of mass destruction and now he is busy spying on Americans. He has violated the United States Constitution and he and the right wing extremists who have put him in office need to go.
Tennessee needs a progressive voice representing her at the federal level. Tennesseans care about health care, they care about jobs, they care about a sustainable environment. Tennesseans want to live in a state and in a nation
whose future is secure and prosperous.
I am the only candidate running for Senate in Tennessee who stands for the progressive ideals that have made this country great. I am truly interested in the needs of the poor, the elderly, women and children, working people, immigrants, gays and lesbians, and the environment. I am the only candidate who stands for peace. I have a long history of service to my community and working for a better Tennessee.
I thank you for your time and hope you will consider me as your next United States Senator.
Sincerely,
Chris Lugo
Green Party of Tennessee
Candidate for US Senate
