Dear Candidate, I have seen a never ending string of posts from people telling me how to vote, or what I should be thinking as I vote. Most of the same people responsible have obviously engaged in negative campaigning over the past several weeks. I am well aware of all of the controversy in the club, and frankly I'm a little insulted that some feel I need to be reminded several times a day of those problems. With that in mind, understand that I will not cast a vote for any candidate that uses the list, or other means, for negative campaigning. It is possible that you do not condone the negative campaigning we have been submitted to recently. If that is the case, then please email the people responsible, or post to the list, asking for this never ending and destructive waste of everyone's time to stop. My vote in this election will be for peace within the club and on this list. I can only urge each of you (the candidates) to consider these thoughts, and hope you understand that winning a GSDCA election could easily come down to a few votes. I'm sure I'm not alone in saying that I've seen enough controversy and divisiveness within the club. Negative campaigning demonstrates to me that I can only expect more of the same from you.
