Force-feeding district voting

Why would we want to model ourselves after neighboring counties like Clayton where district voting has caused little fiefdoms? Countywide voting for commissioners and school board keeps them accountable to all the people.

Virgil has been told over and over by many citizens, commissioners, school board members, mayors, city council members, and other elected officials that we do not want district voting. And, yet he persists.

For many years we have gotten along quite well without Virgil Fludd dictating to us. He moves here and immediately sets out to change our way of doing things. He does not understand what home rule is. That is where the citizens ask the state representative to pass a bill about something they want. It does not mean that the representative dictates to us.

No one wants this district voting, except Virgil and his little band of vocals. It is a racial issue with them. They cannot get a black Democrat elected in a Republican county so they will try it the underhanded way.

This is a Republican county so we elect Republicans. We don’t try to change the way of voting in Atlanta to elect Republicans, because we know Atlanta is mostly Democrats.

Virgil Fludd represents only a small portion of Fayette County. He only got 2,000 votes in Fayette County. He represents the will of Virgil Fludd.

Fludd is fighting day and night to try someway, anyway to get a black Democrat elected to offices in Fayette County. Virgil and the other two Democrats that represent Fayette would never have been elected if they didn’t have most of their districts in Clayton County.

Well, once again I must point out that Fayette County does not need any guidance or leadership from the Democratic Party - oddly the one that suppored slavery in the South from the 1850's thru the 1960's if you include the KKK. Actually, if you count Byrd of WV, ..... well, never mind

And we sure do not need the Democrat's input on their religious values (none) or their view on sanctity of life (none) or their views on Brokeback Mountain (many).

Let's leave Fayette County a conservative family-oriented Rupublican stronghold. Is that okay with all of you?

That is one of the best letters i've seen in the citizen ever. Keep it republican/ family based. We got enough problems to solve w/out any input from democrats.

Robert W. got it right - leave us alone. If any of us want to switch to the Democratic Party or for some reason want a Democratic leader we will simply move to a blue state.
