Website

Here is my Campaign Website: http://KrisBallard.com! I must warn you, that it is still under construction.

Family Values

If Congressman Mark Foley represents Republican Family Values, the Republican Party needs to do some serious Soul-Searching!

Sorghum Parade

I will be marching in the Sorghum Parade on October 7th. Since it is a small Parade, they won't be announcing the entries over the Loud Speakers. I look forward to meeting the Voters in LaVerkin, Utah, in this Parade!

Panic Mode

The Republicans are in Panic Mode in Southern Utah! They sent a bunch of their Politicians on a Red Bus, to tour Iron, and Washington County, Utah! They made seven stops, but were outflanked by Democrats who had set up signs of their own! At Dixie State College, in St. George, the Republicans were shocked to discover that the Student Democratic Club had scheduled to have a booth at the College for the entire week! Not only that, the College Democrats served Free Pizza this Evening, and signed up 20 New Members! If the Republicans are having a tough time in Southern Utah, they must be even more vulnerable Nation-Wide, than I originally thought!

Candidates Forums

I have been asked to participate in several Candidates Forums in October! I look forward to meeting the Voters at these events! Yesterday I turned in a 250 word biography to the Chamber of Commerce. When they first asked me for it, 250 words seemed like alot. After I wrote it, 250 words didn't seem like nearly enough. They said they were going to put my biography on a Program they were preparing for their Candidates Forum.

Swiss Days Parade

Yesterday I marched in the Swiss Days Parade, in Santa Clara, Utah! The Parade turned out much better than I had hoped! I handed out 72 pints of bottled water, and 15 pounds of candy. I ran out of Water and Candy, half-way through the Parade, so I started waving to the Crowd. The warm response from the crowd was inspiring! It's hard to believe that there are only 44 days until the Election!

Horses

Tonight I will be attending a meeting for the BackCountry Horsemen. This is a group of People who like the Open Spaces for riding their Horses! Although I don't ride Horses, and am not a member of their group, I share their goal of preserving Wilderness, in Washington County, Utah!

Swiss Days

On Saturday I will be marching in the Swiss Days Parade in Santa Clara! I'm looking forward to this opportunity to inform the Public about my Campaign for Washington County Commissioner!

Yesterday I attended a Congressional Debate in Hurricane. I wasn't expecting to speak at this meeting, but I was asked to take the microphone, and tell everyone about my Political Campaign! I stumbled a little in expressing myself, but mentioned my opposition to the 2006 Growth and Conservation Act! I will have to be more prepared in the future!

Also I attended a Democratic Luncheon yesterday, and handed out over a dozen of my Political Buttons. I raised $50 dollars in Campaign Contributions yesterday at the Luncheon!

Rodeo Parade

The Rodeo Parade went well yesterday. My Campaign for County Commissioner was entry #76. The Announcers, announced the script I had prepared, on every block. One of the Announcers even had fun with my proposal for High Wages! I was warmly received by the Crowd, and I'm certain that handing out 120 pints of bottled water, and 20 pounds of candy, had nothing to do with it!

Here is a Courageous Soldier that I admire: http://soldierspeace.com!

Parade

Today I received a phone call from a gentleman, who said that my Campaign Display would be #76th, out of about #100, in the Rodeo Parade on Saturday!

Buttons

I was handing out my Political Buttons at Work today, and some of the Guys were wearing them, at Work! In a about 15 minutes I will be showing my Buttons to my friends at the St. George Chess Center.

A small correction from Yesterday's Post. I will actually be handing out 96 pints of bottled water, at the Rodeo Parade!

Political Buttons

My Political Buttons arrived today! They look pretty darn good, if I may say so myself! I had 100 made up.

I'm getting ready for the Rodeo Parade on Saturday. My Campaign Volunteers and I, will be handing out 72 pints of bottled water, and 20 pounds of candy! I know the Parade will be a big success, and will help to inform the Public about my Campaign for County Commissioner!

Veyo

Tonight I will be going over to the Town of Veyo, to attend a Barbeque. I should be able to hand out, some of my Political Flyers there!

I'm getting ready for the Rodeo Parade that will take place a week from today! I have bought Candy for the kids who will line the Parade Route, and plan on handing out Bottled Water as well! My mother will ride in my Truck. My Campaign Manager, his Girl-Friend, and a Native American from Work, are already planning on Marching with me!

My Political Buttons still haven't arrived yet. My friends think it's a Conspiracy, but Star Sign and Banner says that it's a problem with UPS. They say the Buttons are being mailed in from Illinois.

Application

Today I turned in my Application for The Rodeo Parade. The Deadline was next Tuesday. I am looking forward to Advertising my Campaign for County Commissioner! Even my 1993, Toyota Truck, will be in the Parade!

Root Canal

I just finished having a Root Canal, 45 Minutes ago! The Dentist hasn't put the Crown on yet. However, there is too much blogging to be done, for me to be felled by a mere flesh wound!

I just got off the phone with a fellow who is in charge of The St. George Rodeo Parade! He gave me his Secretary's Phone Number, so I can reserve a spot in the the Parade, for my Political Campaign for Washington County Commissioner! The Parade will be on September 16th. I plan on calling his Secretary Tomorrow!

I recently finished reading about Jack Abramoff. The article I read was written back in April, but it was enough to turn my Stomach! If there is anyone who doesn't know who he is, Mr. Abramoff is one of the most Evil Political Operatives of the last 20 Years! His Political History traces back to dirty and illegal tricks, in Apartheid South Africa! How sad that the Republicans kept talking about Moral Values, as they were feeding in the trough of Mr. Abramoff's Dirty Money!

Tammy Duckworth

I am very impressed with the strength of Democratic Candidates this Year! A good example is Tammy Duckworth who is running for Congress. Tammy was serving in the Military, when her Helicopter was shot down. She lost both of her legs, and one of her arms was damaged. Yet instead of thinking about her own challenges, she is running for Congress as a Democrat! Who better to have in Congress, to resolve the War in Iraq, than Tammy Duckworth: http://duckworthforcongress.com!

This morning I marched in the Peach Days Festival Parade, in support of Congressman Jim Matheson! I am now getting ready to hand out some of my own flyers, at the Festival, since I'm running for County Commissioner!

People

People are still talking about Rocky: http://rwcs.com/blog/?p=561!

Tomorrow I will be marching in the Peach Festival Parade, for Congressman "Jim Matheson". The Peach Festival is in Hurricane, and I plan on handing out some of my own Flyers, during the Festival! Of course I plan on eating a few Peaches, also!
