From a friend

"years ago we lived in a small community where a group of us were tired of not being represented in the capital.  We got together and got one of our own elected as a representative.  With great enthusiasm we met with our guy to discuss issues and hear how the battle was going.  At first, the meetings were long and everyone talked.  In a few months, our guy would meet with us and tell us that the common man just wouldnt understand.  The meetings soon stopped as there was nothing to discuss.  He had become one of them - a politician". 

if we can get Brian elected to the BOD, I trust he read and take to heart this story.  Remember those stories you have heard here of misplaced trust, defeat and loss of thousands of dollars because of reasons we do not know.
