I care for her and cared for her mother greatly.<br /><br />Bernie, your by-line is incorrect. Kim was not let go so that Scott Ott could get a salary and health care benefits. She worked with me for about 6 more months after I came on board. I sacrificed personally to help keep Kim on staff. I pleaded with many of our committee members by letter, email, and word for financial support. We were left to hang by many of our friends. If not for the financial support of our elected representatives, a handful of our faithful committee and executive team members, and Wayne Woodman, Kim and I would not have been able to go as far as we did.<br /><br />When critics of Mr. Woodman would tell me about how wrong it was to let Kim go, I retorted, "I have asked many to support financially and we received no response." As with many things that affect our communities, we can only blame ourselves when we choose to not participate and then find that the results are not what we desired.<br /><br />As far as the ED position, the ED is there to implement the plans of the chairman and the executive team, help recruit committee members, and help promote our party in the community; a difficult work when the financial support is not there.<br /><br />This Tuesday we have an election. Republicans must get out and support the candidates of their choice. Don't stay home, disgruntled about the parties direction. The results will be determined by what you do.<br /><br />-Steven RamosAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-68509527120737825742013-05-18T07:59:34.140-04:002013-05-18T07:59:34.140-04:00An anonymous coward tells someone else to grow a s...An anonymous coward tells someone else to grow a set.
