I wasn't apologizing at all. I have no guilt about the way I ran my campaign or my messages. I can promise you the prison outfit, raised awareness and secured more votes than the few it may have cost me. Those that said or think it cost me votes are the ones that were going to vote for Paulette or Melissa anyway.What cost me the election and adequately getting myself in front of voters, was the lack of money I had, which only afforded me one Banner on Pauldig.com and approx. 8000 mail outs and a few hundred signs. This is a far cry from having the funds to run ads on ESPN, Hard print Ads in Ne

GeorgiaDawg and Papi "I think it cost him a lot of votes. Voting for a criminalis one thing, voting for a loonytune is another. At least with the criminal, you know what to expect." What cost me the election was uninformed voters like you. If either of you took the time to read my Bio, Education, Experience etc, you would have discovered Ihave no criminal record, more than a High School Diploma and vast experience in operations, including, but not limited to, Human Resource, Marketing, Sales Developmentand Management with fortune 500 companies. This does not include my seven y

Thanks LPPT Now go to bed. I think I can hear Pubby snoring all the way out here in Acworth.

Michael R. James says: July 24, 2012 at 12:21 am As a proud Republican, this is embarrassing and relevant to ALL political parties. It will be a slight on Paulding County, District 19 and the Republican Party, if we send the Incumbent Paulette Rakestraw Braddock, who has been arrested for Insurance Fraud, Assault and currently has an IRS Tax Lien against her as reported by the AJC yesterday. The really sad thing, in my opinion, is the Paulding County Republican Party, Gov. Deal and Pewt is backing her. Go figure? Paulding County is so much better than this! As reported by the WSJ a few

How many times can you vote for yourself? Pubby why did you make Melissa's banner snappier than mine? Never mind, LPPT, right? LPPT, Just take my Ad Dollars and then spell my name wrong. Are you working for the Gov's (save the incumbents team) also? Can I put a sign in your yard?

Animal My number one goal is to not become a whore to big business and PAC's, thus being free to (1st) do what the people of District 19 / Paulding County want me to do and (2nd) attack Education and Drug Issues we currently face. I'm very intelligent and know how to get things done, even if/when it angers others. You have to first recognize what needs changing and often fight to make it happen. It is impossible to make the changes needed when big donors are reminding and threatening concerning the money they have given and will be giving. I am by far, the best candidate for this job.

Glassdogs I don't think our education needs an overhaul, just some very specific adjustments/procedures to help Teachers, Parents, Administrators, School Superintendents and especially students. I also want to say that I know we have some great Administrators and School Superintendents. I listened to a man at the new Waffle House on Dallas/Acworth Hwy talk about how much respect he had for Cliff Cole and the personal help he gave to his disabled daughter. I have great respect for Dr. Ross at Dobbins and the same for Dr. Brookshur before him. Lucy Cromer, a now retired Administrator in

Just thinkin "Do I understand your position on gay marriage to be that you don't personally support it, but if the Legislature as a whole votes for it - you are willing and able to support and enforce that decision?" Exactly! As an elected official, I have no choice after a law has been voted on and passed, I have a duty to support the results of the vote and am thankful we have that duty in America. Does it mean I'm for it, No. But what it does mean is that I have the intelligence to separate my personal views from my duties as an elected representative. Gay people should be happy

Glassdogs Problem: Misconception we need more money for education, and that it is a Teacher Quality Problem. Also, 25% of Paulding Schools not meeting AYP for last 4 years Solution: Submit procedures that will hold School Superintendent and Administrators feet to the fire, relating to keeping the Halls, Gyms, Bathrooms, Busses and most importantly Classrooms in a Home-Like, safe environment that will allow our students and teachers to relax and learn in a atmosphere that is suitable for concentrating and teaching. This can easily be done by specific reports that Teachers, Parents

Wineguy " Freedom from being oppressed the rights of all other people, based on your beliefs and views, is the most fundamental right granted by the constitution." No, that is not at all what I am saying, as I stated clearly above, I have a right to my Individual choice just as a Gay person does, and I would always protect both of our rights to choose, under the constitution. I am talking about my personal view. As your Representative, I have a duty to protect both of our rights to both choices. Wineguy, I am talking about my individual right to choose and your individual right t

You know, I read all this, and have no doubt (at the risk of sounding arrogant) that I am the best qualified candidiate for representing all of you. That is even if Paulettte had no criminal record, etc.. I have vast experience in many different areas of Business. I don't mean mostly clerical work either. I have done the dirtiest, lowest jobs, hired, fired, managed/developed budgets, sales, quality control, loan officer and oversaw an entire operations of small, medium and large companies. These last seven years, as a career changers, with an undergraduate in Marketing, I have completed my M

Goooo Gggggggggggoooo Go GO DAWGS!

It may seem contradictory, but it is not. If Gay Marriage is brought up for a vote, I would vote against it. In my opinion and religious beliefs it is not natural and is a sin. With that said, I sin every day in some form so we are all the same. But if it is made into a public debate for voting, I have the same right to voice my opinion against it. What seems contradictory is not. If gay marriage passes, As your Represenattive I would uphold the law just as any law i.e.(protetcing your individual rights). As your choice to chose this lifestyle, and as a citizen of the United States of Ame

Sorry, I couldn't resist after reading all the post. It's okay to be a jokester sometimes, you'll live longer. Have a good weekend, even if you don't vote for me.

Lucky64 Thank you for making an exception for me today, and letting me put my sign in your yard this afternoon. Also, that apple pie was really tasty. Thanks Again Michael

Again, I apologize that I came across like that. I'm just tired of the same ole' self-serving politicians selling America down the drain. Can I fix it in two years! No way! But I can make a dent and get the ball rolling with regards to wasting tax money, reprentatives being bought off, making our classrooms safe for our children and grandchildren and at the same time creating an environment that will foster learning. Exhibiting character when talking to companies about locating in Paulding County. These potential investors know when they are talking with someone or a group of county reps

Lucky64, not my intent at all. Just please make a good decision for your children, grandchildren and yourself. Too much corruption in our elected officials, big business owning politicians and telling them how to vote, lobbyist buying favor and making slaves out of our elected officials, government agencies that are suppose to protect us are apathetic and also make decisions based on political pressure and not on what is right. I'm tired of the crap!

"of said person", I said check all three of us out, not just one of us. I'm one of those three. Employers do it all the time, to make good decisions.
