thank you

Greetings,

I am writing to say thanks to each of you for your support during my quest for a seat on the Portsmouth City Council. I ask that you join me in congratulating: Mayor James Holley, Charles Whitehurst, Councilwoman Elizabeth Psimas and Councilman Steve Heretick on their victory. I have no doubt they will work hard for Portsmouth.

Robert Green Ingersoll once said “The greatest test of courage on earth is to bear defeat without losing heart.” I still believe in the unlimited possibilities for the future of Portsmouth. If it is God’s will and with your support, I will join the Portsmouth City Council in 2010. 

Thanks in advance for your continued prayers and support.
