Subject: pittsboro street fair no longer fun

Last Satruday Pittsboro had its street fair.  I was unable to go this year but 3 of my friends did TRY to go.  They each took a dog with them.  All dogs we under 9 pounds.  They were not aloud to go down the street to look at the items.  they were told it was a rule for the last 5 years and I call bull.  Last year I went with my hairless chinese crested and had NO problem walking around the street with him.  When I passed by there several people with their dogs there as well.
Also my friends told me they saw people walking their dogs and they even spoke with someone that had a silk terrier that said she was aloud to walk down the street fair with no problems.  So my question is why were my friends not aloud?

John Hammond said -

Let me put it very simply:

It’s over you are out numbered and out organized and every day that passes you will be even more out numbered. You have lost the demographic battle.

Subject: Cathy Wright for the House

Consider a Vote for Cathy Wright, State Representative

We are fortunate to have an inspiring candidate for the NC House of Representatives to represent us in the next Legislative term.  Cathy Wright possesses a unique set of qualities that we should wish our elected representatives to possess.

Cathy is a nurse who understands the entire span of issues of health care combining the viewpoints of a medical professional, a teacher, a past executive of health related organizations, a legislative advocate (OK, call it a lobbyist if you wish) at State and Federal levels and a breast cancer survivor.

Subject: Shakori Hills

Our 3 children have not missed a single day, or night, at Shakori Hills for 7 straight years.  These festivals will likely be the best Chatham County memories they will have as adults; clean, wholesome, many new friends, and lots of fun.

Subject: Mr Bock

Dear Mr. Hammond,

I have searched all Tea Party websites, national and local, and can find no support or connection of Brian Bock to the Tea Party. Can you please provide true evidence?

Also the CCV ( Chatham Conservative Voice) just states,” we stand behind his ideals”, but this does not connect him either. I am confused as to where this information comes from. In all fairness during election time please tell people why you support your candidate and that would be more helpful.
