Clearing the Air

The election is getting closer; less than a month away.  Early voting is closer than that.  I am really grateful for those of you that support me.  I have learned a great deal talking to members of the community in my door-to-door campaigning.  I appreciate the good questions and the insights you have provided.
There has been some adversity to running, however.  The CEO of the hospital said some unkind things, (to be very diplomatic), about me in a hospital-wide meeting.  Many thinly veiled accusations were tossed about regarding me.  That is not very nice and I will refrain from any trumped up retaliatory comment regarding that.
Also, my signs have been systematically disappearing from yards.  It is a mystery in the truest sense.  (If you are reading this and you have been taking them please return them.  Technically, taking something that doesn't belong to you is theft.)  These signs cost money.  Any information regarding the whereabouts would be appreciated.  One last thing, if someone has taken my signs I would like to know who, of course, but more importantly I would like to know why.
That brings me to this point.  Why is the hospital administration so upset about me running?  (Not associating the sign theft with the administration.) Trust me, I am not a disgruntled ex-employee with a vendetta, as I was accused of being.
Believe me, I am not this cool. And this election is in May, not the fifth of November. (For those of you familiar with this reference.)
So, let me clarify; I am passionate about Brownfield Regional Medical Center.  I went to nursing school to work there.  What happened to me as a nurse in the facility after the nursing administration change was unjust.  Although I am no longer physically there working my heart remains.  I know that our local hospital can be a wonderful place for our patients but there need to be changes!  My son was a patient there for four days just last week.  I experienced some wonderful service from some of the nurses, nurse aides and ancillary staff but I also experienced sub-par care from others.  There is no sugar coating that.  Orders were missed, (only caught by myself because I am a nurse.)  There are real issues, my friends and neighbors in this great community.  I want to make it better.  I know the right questions to ask.  Let me help make this the best patient care facility it can be. This is not a vendetta, this is a passion!
So, thank you to those of you that are my supporters and a special thank you to those of you that would steal signs or slander me, as well.  Both are great motivators.
