We need Bill Lee in the Woodburn Mansion.
I am pleading with all Democrats to vote for John Mc Cain. Your party has
nominated a Socialist! Do you really want to see our country "change" so much
that you hardly recognize it? Obama can not be trusted. The Middle Class American
is on the endangered species list, if Obama becomes President, the Middle Class
will cease to exist!
I want to see my country change for the better. I suspect that Thomas Jefferson would not recognize our country in the way we view rights today as belonging to all men...and woman. That, and with apologies to Thomas, would be a good thing.

Email letter to Friends of Jody Sweeney:
Please forgive me for using my email contacts to spread a message about my campaign. Many of you may not even live in the 5th Levy Court District, but I am hoping my message will resonate with you and you will discuss my campaign with those who do live in this District.
My name is George “Jody” Sweeney. I have lived in Kent County for all of my 48 years. I am happily married for going on 23 years, with four children, ages 29, 26, 19, and 16. My wife and I have two grandchildren, ages 4 and three months, with another on the way.
In the 19 months since the Special Election in2007, my resolve to win the race for 5th Levy Court District Commissioner has grown steadily. Generally, I am concerned about the direction of the District and County has taken with respect to development and how it will affect our children. I want open space and good jobs so that our children can stay close.
My opponent has flipped on issues from reassessment to higher taxes, open space to property rights. He tells residents what they want to hear, and then votes in favor of special interests. My opponent has skirted discussing the issues with me, choosing instead to attempt to have me terminated from my job by submitting my name to the State Auditor.
I am the candidate who supports Open Space. I was in favor of the 2007 Comprehensive Plan in its original form when it restricted growth inside and outside the growth zone. Mr. Edmanson voted against this Plan because the Farm Community opposed it. I also supported the 2009 County Budget, which increased the Farmland Preservation from $250,000 to $1,000,000. This funding is for the promotion of Open Space preservation in the County. Mr. Edmanson voted against this plan. I opposed the Camden Comprehensive Plan to annex existing developments on the east side of Rt 13, and the annexation of farmland for development purposes. On one 170-acre plot, the plan is to build 1,200 homes. Mr. Edmanson said it was a good plan.
I am the fiscally responsible candidate. I was in favor of the 2009 County Budget, which avoided raising taxes and had a provision to eliminate jobs in the County that are vacant for two years. This automatically makes government smaller without any effort. Mr. Edmanson voted against this budget.
I am the candidate who will be responsive. In 19 months since the Special Election, I have provided assistance to residents for a failing community sewer system, storm water drainage, electrical problems with DP&L, Tidewater flushing of their pipes, dedication of roads for State Maintenance, providing information for the West Dover By-pass, setup of trash and streetlight programs, and trash cleanup. Mr. Edmanson waited 18 months before attending a homeowner association meeting for a problem that has been going on for FIVE years! Customer service is one of my greatest assets. If a homeowner comes to me, I will respond or will take the issue to the next level myself, not pass it on to someone else.
I am the candidate involved in the community. I attend the Camden and Wyoming town meetings on a monthly basis. I am a member of the Wyoming United Methodist Church where I am a team member of the Family Emergency Relief effort, Security Watch Team, and regular greeter. I am a member of the VCF Ruritan, a community-based organization in Viola. I have coached soccer or baseball in community programs for 25 years. I have been a public servant for nearly 19 years with the State of Delaware, most recently with DelDOT. As a manager with DelDOT, I was the lead witness in protecting employees’ jobs when they were unjustly terminated a few years ago.
I am asking for your support on Tuesday, November 4th. If you are not in the District, I am asking that you contact anyone you know from Rodney Village to Viola, and Wyoming to the Dover Air Force Base to encourage them to get out and vote.

| I'm still tossed about Lee or Markell. Copeland is a definite as is Friedman because Friedman's ad is great and the job is really just a title.
