IT IS TIME TO PRACTICE WHAT I PREACH

This will be short, but sweet.  I believe that those who fail to try are left with nothing.  Today, I submitted my Nominee Resume to run as a candidate for board to the WPA Nominating Committee.  Personally, I don't think that I can be elected to dog catcher, despite the fact that I can do the work, and will do it openly, honestly, and with integrity, and disciplined behavior.  I am willing to at least put my head on the chopping block, for my community.  I will continue to serve as editor to The Wedgefield Examiner up through the annual meeting.  I offer the blog to any other candidate who wishes to send information, opinion, etc., as sent.  I will not be the first resident operating a opinion site to run for board.  If elected I will suspend operation of The Wedgefield Examiner.  Will you take the chance?

Here is my Nominee Resume:
