What a privilege it has been to be associated with people of integrity, of class, and that hold a core set of values that restore my faith in our democratic processes.
This is a great day for Flower Mound and a day to celebrate. It's also a day to thank so many people, that worked so hard, for so long.
--The VOLUNTEERS. Simply amazing. Yesterday afternoon, a volunteer arrived at the polls and said that he had been driving around Town and it was amazing as there were NFL sign wavers everywhere: Bridlewood, Wellington, all up and down 2499, on Gerault, on Morris, and on and on. (The opposition had one person on the corner of 1171 and Kirkpatrick.) I knew then that we had won.

- Becoming knowledgeable about the issues and then spreading the message
- Tirelessly walking their neighborhoods and getting the message out
- Writing letters to the editor, speaking at Town Council, and a myriad of other avenues of communications
- Putting up hundreds and hundreds of yard signs
- Being willing to do "whatever it took" to make this great day a reality--building databases, organizing phone banks, delivering yard signs, creating fliers and signs to address mis-information, standing on street-corners with signs to let people know the TRUTH...the list goes on an on

We've seen plenty of Drill Wrong, now we're going to show everyone what Drill Right really means.
What a great feeling!!!
ReplyDeleteThe people of Flower Mound Won out over big business, special interest money, dirty politics and last minute dirty tactics. Don't Mess with Flower Mound!!!!
