Honesty. Infrastructure. Jobs.
I am not inspired. If you want people to be honest maybe start with a mirror.
So far all I know is more about who you are against than who you are and what you want. Hopefully you will add a lot more info to your website about your issues and your candidates of choice.


Our Generation Walton County

We are a group of concerned citizens who are fighting for a more prosperous Walton County. This means an open and honest government, better roads and bridges, and more jobs.

If we want Walton County to lead the way in the panhandle, we can no longer accept the go-along-to-get-along status quo from our county government. We must demand accountability.

Together, we can make Walton County one of the premiere places in Florida to raise a family, start a business, or visit on vacation.

Whether you agree with these men or not is not the issue. This sort of half-truth filled attack is unproductive and unfair. Like these guys or not, both of them have served the public honorably for many years and don't deserve this. If you disagree with them on the issues fine, but attack them on the issues alone.

Danny, I don't agree with a group of people hiding in the shadows, calling themselves concerned citizens taking out this ad!! I think they should be loud and proud especially if they want to be respected as a LOCAL concerned citizens group.

However, honesty & integrity should be the very core of our government and I believe that the people have every right to know the good, the bad, and the ugly. There is truth to the allegations made against Chapman regarding his son (special favors) and there is allot truth to the FDLE statement. In fairness, he wasn't the only cop in this county who fudged certification requirements but hopefully he is the last. People's lives depend on it! I don't know his net worth then or now but I also don't know of a single ex-politician ever elected to the BCC who hasn't increased his net worth after being elected but its why this county keeps re-cycling and is a prime example of what money and influence can buy including, elections. The same is true regarding the ad on Imfield. I did not know he was a liberal though. :)

I just had a very lengthy conversation with a mutual friend/acquaintance of ours Danny and Suzanne Harris was part of that conversation and I'm going to repeat parts of the conversation as an analogy of how flawed our thinking is when it comes to politics. I recognize that there are people that despise Ms. Harris. I recognize that some people will stop at nothing to destroy her, I know what those lawsuits cost the taxpayers but the sad truth is that those law suits would not have existed if we had OPEN, HONEST, GOVERNMENT, OPERATING IN THE SUNSHINE!

I also recognize that people don't like her because they believe she has anger issues. Back in the day, you will agree that I too had anger issues on more than a few occasions when I attended BCC meetings because we all want the same thing that Suzanne unfortunately had to SUE the County to obtain. If I had the money back then or Matt Gatez on my side, I'd have been just as hated and probably would have ended up dead. My point in all this is, that remaining silent isn't working for us and having to go to the polls and vote is polarizing us because people are not making INFORMED decisions. We have a right to know the history of the people who want us to elect them to positions of power, that are making decisions that impact our lives and if that means talking about a "good ole boys" skeletons then so be it. Chances are if a candidate has compromised his own morals and ethics in his day to day life there is nothing to stop him or her from compromising it in ours!

Anyway, the jest of my conversation with out mutual friend/acquaintance at least softened hi/her attitude (he/she may still dislike Ms Harris) but I think he/she has a better understanding of her motives and that she is a PRIVATE Citizen. Her character, her attitude and her morals aren't an issue to anyone except those who want to continue the way things have always been. That's GOT to CHANGE! We can't continue down this path.

There are lots of people asking questions now about the Our Generation Facebook Page myself included. I noticed that one commentor said something about looking at WZEP and the Daily News for help to find out who this PAC is and what they are really about. I don't depend on WZEP for much anymore except re-printed news stories from some other source but I still like Tom McLaughlin with the Daily News and I think if enough of us voice our concerns he may look into it and we might get some answers and not just the generic stuff printed on that page.

Please call Tom McLaughlin 850-315-4435 Thanks!

Based on the address on recent political mailers I've received, Our Generation is a professional lobbying firm in Washington.
Not sure why D.C. hired guns would be interested in interfering in a county election in Florida, unless they own beachfront property or know people who do......

Just throwing this out here...Mike Huckabee owns beachfront and also knows several people who do. He also knows the "hired guns" and has resources both from wealthy beachfront owners and his own connections.It is being widely rumored that the "local concerned citizen group" are in fact beachfront property owners OPPOSED to customary use and want the beaches private.

I also think there is allot of smoke and mirrors and certain candidates are not being forthright with their campaign Q&A's. I also believe there are a couple "good ole boys" in the mix.

Something tells me that if The Governor was involved in local politics, he wouldn't be shy about it.
Next time I see him I'll ask.

This really isn't about whether or not you like the Bills or not. Nor does it matter whether you support any other candidate or not. This type of mudslinging draws attention away from the issues that are important to the growth of Walton County and bettering the way of life for our citizens. And it just does not give me a warm fuzzy feeling about any group that is willing to skirt the rules and hide behind proxies and shell organizations. I still want to know what they represent and what they want because I must admit my imagination is running wild trying to figure it out.
