Subject: Reject Attack Ads
Dear Kevin,
During the nearly 40 years that I have lived in Carroll County, I have never seen political campaigns as hateful, hurtful, and deceitful as some of those presently underway throughout our county. Ranging from bold-faced lies to grossly distorted facts, vicious attack ads by candidates, their campaigns, and their minions do nothing but destroy our county, state, and nation.
Attack ads have nothing positive to say about the candidate or candidates they support. On the contrary, attack ads are mean-spirited, nasty smear efforts intended to discredit opposing candidates.
Take note of the organizations and business entities that are supportive of attack ads. Their complicity is despicable and inexcusable. In addition, voters should note which candidates advertise with such organizations and business entities. The old adage about birds of a feather should not be forgotten.
Political campaigns are a reflection of the character and integrity of the candidates. The behavior demonstrated by or supported by candidates during a political campaign is exactly the same behavior the candidate can be expected to demonstrate or support after being elected.
I urge you to reject those candidates utilizing the politics of personal destruction and to support those candidates who have demonstrated the values and integrity consistent with yours. Candidates utilizing attack ads have no business serving as our elected officials.
On Tuesday, September 12, please take the time to vote. Rejecting the evil inherently contained in attack ads sends a loud and resounding message that such behavior is completely unacceptable in
Sincerely,
C. Scott Stone
