        <p>Good morning Delusional Duck Followers.&nbsp; Over the years I have been brutally beaten and warmly embraced on the Duck.&nbsp; The experience has been important to me in my development as a candidate and a person.&nbsp; You have pointed out weakness, shortcomings and areas where I needed to pay particular attention to my positions and how I was perceived in the community. You have reminded me why I started my journey in public service so many years ago and helped me to refocus on those whom I seek to serve. </p>

<p>One of the most important lessons I have learned over the years is that in order to be a good leader and a good public servant you must always be willing to grow and learn and remain open to other&#8217;s points of view.&nbsp; More importantly I have learned that positive change and innovation comes from the bottom up not the top down.&nbsp; It is only when we sincerely listen to what&#8217;s on the minds of our citizens, friends, and families that we build a better tomorrow.</p>

<p>I want to take this opportunity, as we begin early voting, to sincerely THANK the Delusional Duck for their endorsement and while I may not always like what I read on the Duck as it relates to me, I want to thank each and everyone of you for as they say &#8220;keeping me honest and real.&#8221;</p>

<p>I want to congratulate each and every candidate for jobs well done and I wish each and everyone of them success in their future endeavors.&nbsp; Regardless of the outcome of this election, I know that each one of the candidates will be forever changed in a positive way as a result of what they have experienced during their campaigns.&nbsp; We have a remarkable group of candidates and now the voters must decide. It is clear that you bloggers care and it is clear that you have some strong opinions - now I ask you to please VOTE! Thanks again.&nbsp; Enjoy this beautiful day.
</p>

        <p><a href="http://somdnews.com/stories/11112009/indymor165403_32234.shtml">The handful of Charles County commissioner hopefuls </a>who&#8217;ve already thrown their hats into the ring have all stressed a lack of transparency and communication between government and community as something they will cure, but commissioners&#8217; president candidate Jim Thompson (R) is singing a different tune about frustration with the county seat.</p>

<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s not a lack of communication; it&#8217;s a lack of common sense. [The commissioners] are not part of the average, everyday person in the county,&#8221; Thompson said. &#8220;The commissioners we have have never made hard choices. … They&#8217;ve said ‘yes&#8217; to everything. It&#8217;s not any one individual, but collectively they&#8217;ve been irresponsible.&#8221;
