Joe Wilson fundraiser Saturday the 19th
I would like to personally invite you all to a party for my campaign, tomorrow, Saturday, July 19th, but I can’t, so I am posting the invite here. Please come out. I would love to talk to all of you and I’ll also grill you a dog or a burger while we talk.
We are going to have Live music with Diffendal-Rumley, Marc Diffendal (Wonderwall, Lava Lamp Explosion!) and Joe Rumley (Thick As Thieves.)
So come on! — burgers ,dogs, cold drinks and backyard games. It’s going to be great American summertime fun from 1:00-5:00 p.m.
the view from the bottom…
How comforting it must be to look up at the rescue boat after you have sunk to the bottom.That’s what the citizen’s of the Cardinal area must be feeling after hearing that it is going to be illegal to do to someone what has been done to them.
Is it just me or does the timing of the recent annexation seem to be very convenient based on what is going on in Raleigh now. I also seem to remember that the City Council in 2001 sent a resolution to the N.C. General Assembly to block further municipal annexation in Greensboro, perhaps someone knows when that was rescinded to allow forced annexation here again.
What I did on July 4th
On The 4th of July, I walked, ran, shook a bunch of hands, and I smiled a lot, because I felt like smiling. Greensboro is a great city on Independence Day because everywhere I went I met really good people who care about their families and our collective futures. Some of those people are shown here.
I believe we are going to have to care about each other even more in the coming months as our financial woes worsen, so remember everyone is having a tough time of it . Live and let live, and if you can help someone, do it.
We need to remember that we are all in this together and we deserve hard work from the people we elect . We cannot afford to elect more self serving individuals who only want to line their pockets with the contents of ours,those who prefer status to hard work.
Stay away from candidates who have become real accustomed to being in office for long periods but have provided no hard evidence of leadership. Who are perfectly o.k. with the stagnant status quo and all of the corruption that unchallenged power brings to those susceptible to it.
Where do you stand?
I posted on Jon Lowder’s blog recently and I feel the issue is worth keeping alive for everyone’s sake.
MEETING!
I am having a meeting this Wednesday night, June 4th, at 7:00 p.m. to organize and activate those wonderful souls who wish to be a part of my political efforts this year.
Reply here, at the website or email me for information .
We are giving away a week at the beach to some lucky supporter — it could be you.
Will you help me?
Please respond to this post or through email to join the Committee to Elect Joe Wilson. We are anticipating a meeting very soon.
Come join an effective team and be involved in the most exciting election year in recent memory!
I have heard from a lot of old friends, and new ones,as well. All are welcome — your party affiliation does not matter. Just come with a genuine desire for better government. We can make a difference together.
Thanks, Joe
This is how we do it … together!
“A liberal is a conservative who has been arrested. A conservative is a liberal who has been mugged.”
A fun, clever quote, but it has a common thread — CRIME! — and it is out of control.
As I have said before, today’s issues transcend party lines and reach into all of our lives every day. In tough times, we must pull together for the greater good, and tough times are at hand now.
Senate Bill 1348 has a Democrat Senator as primary sponsor and Republican and Democrat Senators as co-sponsors. It’s an example of doing the right thing without regard for party lines.
We need to get this legislation passed to help combat our out of control gang problem in our state. I am still as committed to this effort as I have ever been.
Last night at least three businesses in the Guilford College area were burglarized by a group of individuals using pry bars to gain entry to the buildings and subsequently break into locked cabinets. It sounded to me to be organized and pre-planned.
Please call your legislator in Raleigh and tell them to support tougher laws on organized street gang crime. Contact both your Democrat and Republican State House Representatives and Senators. Tell them Joe sent you.
The ides of March scream… Change!
Doug Clark, News and Record staffer has some issues he thinks need to be addressed. I agree with him, decide for yourself here.
water water everywhere…
We have no water in the foreseeable future but it gets worse. You may not be able to use what we have the way you want to. What if it continues? Will it be necessary to take it further? Greensboro is easing off restrictions and the Gov has other plans.
Drugs are bad …okay?
The quality of our water supply is of increasing concern. Now you might get more than you pay for. If pharmaceutical residue can bypass filtration, what else might be swimming in your glass or pet bowl?
