KICK-OFF PUBLIC MEETING

I am sorry I didn't get this posted sooner, but last week I was sick with that darn stomach virus that is going around.  I think it had an impact on my mind, too.  I just didn't have any "get up and go" in me. But, listen up, this is one important meeting for our district.  On November 16th, at 6:00pm. at the Pensacola State College Student Center, there is a public meeting to discuss a road project on 9th Ave., from Underwood to Creighton Rd.  If you need more information call Jim Waite at (850) 430-1716. 

THANKS TO THE VOTERS OF DISTRICT 2

Y'all did it!   Everyone in the" powers that be"  were betting that y'all would not have the wisdom to vote for someone who wasn't bankrolled by powerful interest.   I didn't take any campaign contributions, except about $350.00 dollars from some close friends.   All the rest of my funds came from my personal savings.  I was offered some big bucks, but turned it down because I wanted to be as independent as possible, and beholden only to you, the citizens.  I relied on my two 68 year old feet to go door to door and meet y'all with my little homemade  flier . I loved every minute of walking in the hot sun, being invited into your homes, sitting on your porches, talking to you in your yards, and just hanging out in your neighborhoods.  Y'all taught me a lot.  We citizens don't ask for alot; we just want safe streets, lighting, pretty neighborhoods, codes enforced, traffic slowed down - just the basics that make our neighborhoods home.  We're tired of politicians who have been bought and paid for.    Most of us just want simple and peaceful lives.  We want our fair share of the taxes retured to our neighborhoods and districts.  I HEARD Y'ALL LOUD AND CLEAR!   I'm gonna try to do a good job, staying in touch with everybody and raising cain down at City Hall if we don't get want we need and deserve - and it better be sooner than later.  

We got alot of work to do and I got to stay focused.  It is easy to get distracted with all the stuff down at City Hall. I got to keep my mind mostly on y'all and getting the work down you hired me to do.  If I get off the path - please reel me back in.  I hope y'all will start coming down to open forum.  I know the dang meetings can go on for infinity, but that is what it takes to get things done.  We can't take "No" for an answer!!! No way!!! If we do we'll keep coming up SHORT CHANGED TIME AND TIME AGAIN.

I'm going to sign off now and go into the bedroom with Millie.   If y'all are wondering, she is doing great.   We take it one day at a time.   When I was out knocking on your doors I meet alot of dogs.  I would say about 70% of y'all have dogs that live in doors - so you know what I am going through with Millie's cancer and trying to keep in from spreading, and hopefully, who knows, she might beat it. 

Thanks again and you know where to find me - 526 Parker Dr, sfmada@aol.com, 484-0902.  I 'm going to start going modern on y'all and get a website and a cell phone.  So, y'all better keep in touch with me.  We got to get together the Uptown Roundtable - so I am coming knocking on doors again.  See y'all soon.   Sherri
