Unethical, Misleading Campaign Literature from Cynthia White

I received Cynthia White's latest campaign mailing today.

I can't believe she has stooped to this level in her campaign.
She states that the fact that Paul Johnson fired Hugh Coleman, along 24 other human beings, when he took office should be considered as a reason not to vote for Hugh.
Hugh Coleman is trying to unseat Cynthia White from the Denton County Commissoiners' Court.

The firing of 25 employees by Paul Johnson ranks as one of larger injustices I have ever seen or experienced in my lifetime. It was a completely arbitrary and capricious act by the District Attorney. I would call it mean spirited and totally unreasonable. I never did anything in my work to merit such treatment. I never did anything personally to Paul Johnson that called for such mistreatment by him.

I was one of the twenty-five employees that Paul Johnson fired when he took office. Most of those people were fine, dedicated public servants who performed their duties with intelligence and passion.
I was a very good employee with nothing but excellent evaluations on the way I did my job. God was looking out for me because I was able to continue as a criminal prosecutor with the Wise County District Attorney's Office.

Hugh Coleman was the same way. An excellent attorney who did his best at his job all the time. He received excellent evaluations and maintained an excellent relationship with the Sheriff's Office, including time with Benny Parkey, the current Sheriff.

To see the firing or Hugh, me, or any of the others as anything besides paltroonish political retaliation by Paul Johnson is wrong and unfair. The fact that Cynthia White seeks to injure Hugh by pointing out that he lost his job after the election of 2006 shows how unscrupulous she is. The ad is totally misleading by insinuating that any of us needed to be terminated or deserved to be fired.

You are already aware of the fact that Cynthia White accepts campaign money from contractors and consultants who stand to gain by received contracts with Denton County. She has admitted it in the newspaper, and she sees nothing wrong with that. Apparently, she also sees nothing wrong with misleading the voters about her opponent.

This mailing with this information was purely an act of desperation on the part of Cynthia White. I, as a precinct 1 voter, have had enough of her nonsense and wasteful government.

VOTE FOR HUGH COLEMAN FOR COUNTY COMMISSIONER IN DENTON COUNTY.

Vote for Hugh Coleman for County Commissioner, Precinct 1

This is Denton County Commissioner, Cynthia White.
I live in the precinct that she represents in Denton County.
I will vote in the election this year.
I will not vote for her.

I received a new mailing from her opponent, Hugh Coleman. I believe the information that Hugh has included regarding Commissioner White's administration. She takes campaign money from persons who bid on contracts for goods or services with Denton County. In other words, when she votes to give tax money to a consultant or supplier, chances are she will select the person who has contributed a large amount of money to her campaign.
In effect, Denton County taxpayers are paying more than they should to get the work of the government done because she allows consultants and bidders for county contracts to buy her vote with campaign money.
I believe Hugh when he says he will not do that.
I would be happy to see her unseated. I never thought she had the qualifications for that job.
Perhaps I am biased, but I think Hugh's mailings are very effective.

Senator Cornyn's Opponent in the Republican Primary

http://www.larrykilgore.com/

I was looking over the sample ballots for the Republican Primary in my precinct, and I came across the United States Senate Primary where a guy named Larry Kilgore is running against the incumbent, John Cornyn. I had never heard of this guy, so I did a search under ask.com to see if he had an election website. Indeed, he does, and it is a doozy!
This guy is advocating the Texas secede from the United States and form an independent country.
Oh, my god!
The link to his website is above.
If you don't like John Cornyn, please don't vote for this other guy. Senator Cornyn is the only choice in that race.
Wow!
Check out his website.

Criminal Trial in Jack County

Jack County Courthouse, Jacksboro, Texas

Have you all been wondering where I am? Paige and I have been prosecuting a case in a jury trial in Jack County, which is one of the counties where Paige and I work as Assistant District Attorneys.
The defendant was charged with Indecency with a Child, and the penalty was enhanced to a 1st degree felony.
We had a good case and a strong jury to hear it.
Today, the jury found the defendant guilty, and after a short punishment hearing where we presented the defendant's prior criminal history, the assessed a punishment of Life with a $10,000 fine.
I was very proud of the jurors, and I was happy that our case came across to them so well. Hopefully, it had a little bit to do with the good prosecutors. I believe that the truth was shown and that justice was done in this case.
I would like to yell a big "thank you" Paige's husband for taking the time to get us some documents from Tarrant County that we needed for the trial (Thanks, Danny).

Isn't That What a Writer Is?

When I started this blog, my wife said, "Isn't it a bit egotistic and narcissistic to believe that people would be interested in what you have to write in a blog?"

My response was, "Would that not apply to all writers who write for publication? Don't all writers believe that what they have to say is important enough for other people to read?"

Goal Reached

I am putting this up only because I am so proud of myself. This week, I reached a weight loss goal by losing 10% of my original weight when I joined "Weight Watchers." What I have lost is almost half of my overall goal for the program. I have lost almost 24 pounds to get from 233 to 209. I also want you all to know that the WW program works if you follow the program. I use the "Etools" at Weightwatchers.com, and it is very helpful.
If this keeps up, I am going to have to buy new clothes!

Hugh Coleman for County Commissioner, Precinct 1

I found a campaign flyer in my mail today from the Hugh Coleman for County Commissioner campaign. I support Hugh in this bid because I think he would be better for the county than Ms. White. With all that said, this has to be the best flyer I have received from any candidate campaigning for anything in this election.

Apparently, Hugh found Cynthia White's "blog.myspace.com" page. In her myspace page, Ms. White is posing as a 21 year old single female from Alabama named Shyler. She even had a photo of herself posted. Ms. White is a 44 year old woman, and I actually don't know if she is married or not.

But why would she be posing as a 21 year old single female? Is it to lure young men to their dooms? This whole thing is priceless. I pulled up the site shown on the flyer: blog.myspace.com/schylerspage, and it is now a private page and it can only be seen by invitation from the owner, namely, "Schyler" or Cynthia White.

What is worse, that she has this page with this false information on it, or that she took measure to hide it when it was exposed for the campaign?

I may hang on to this one forever. It's priceless!
