Don is running for Mayor of Gainesville
If you have known me for very long, you know that I have been politically active for the past 10 years. One day I realized that I had not been a very good citizen and I started getting involved in our system of self-government. Well, one thing has led to another, and now I find our city government so unresponsive and out of control that I just had to do something about it. But I cannot do it alone! I really need your help.
Contrary to what some people think, I have not become independently wealthy in the window cleaning business. One of the downsides of conscientiously pricing one’s service so that a relatively broad spectrum of society can afford it is that I cannot crusade against government obtuseness on my own dime. It costs a lot of money to run a city-wide campaign, but if all my friends just do a little bit, the voters can be that much better informed.

If I am elected, how will this effect my business? Obviously, it will curtail my window cleaning significantly. But my son is still in the business and we will no doubt be hiring someone. But some of you will have the unique experience of having the Mayor of Gainesville clean your windows!

I’m a NAVAIR VET, have resided 43 years in Fla., eight in Gainesville due to a medical condition involving MS. The local governments liberal movement controlling this community is severing the future from its budding youth. For a look at your upcomming 20 year results from this cities Mayor/Commissioners latest paterns, visit Orlando. Living and working there before and soon after the ‘Mouse’ arrived showed that they learned nothing from example of the Disney-’land’ area in California. Gainesville’s Disney World is UF in more ways than it wants to admit in employment, traffic, and seasonal needs that bleed the year round residence of more than their peace of mind.
True red blooded American adults raised to believe our forfathers intentions with compassion in heart and mind should stand up as they did, so we can.
Alachua/Gainesville is the growing stop and stay location for ‘halfbacks’ from elsewhere that never seem to contain many of the morals/principals that a person of substance needs for respect of themself or others.
This City, State and Nation should look over the shoulder for reference to move forward with the Eagles eye.
