Primary

The Filing Date has closed for the St. George City Council Elections. 14 People have filed for the 3 City Council Seats that are being Contested. Only one Incumbent is trying to be re-elected. Since there are so many Candidates, there will be a Primary. My name is Kris Ballard, and I am one of the Candidates!

Yesterday, a 1,000 Acre Fire caused a Power Outage, that shut down most of Washington County, Utah. The Power Outage lasted between 4PM-9PM. All the Stores, and Gas Stations shut down. The Temperature outside was 106%!

Magnet Signs

Today, I washed my Truck, and put 2 Magnet Signs on it, so People will know that I'm running for the St. George City Council! The Magnet Signs have my Name, and the Political Office I'm seeking, written on them. I went up to City Hall to see how many People have filed to run for the 3 City Council Positions. So far, 9 People have filed. The Filing Deadline is 5PM today.

Democratic Convention

Senator Christopher Dodd was the Featured Speaker at the Utah State Democratic Convention today. He spoke mostly about getting our troops out of Iraq. Governor Bill Richardson was supposed to speak at the Convention also, but cancelled because he felt it was more important to catch a flight to Los Angeles.

Dinner

Tonight I attended the Jefferson/Jackson Dinner, for the Utah State Democratic Party. The Dinner was held at Heritage Park. Governor Bill Richardson was the Featured Speaker. He said that if we have enough money to fund the War in Iraq, that we have enough money to improve our Public Schools, and Pay our Teachers a decent Salary. He also spoke about protecting the Environment, and getting our Troops out of Iraq! Tomorrow I will be attending the Utah State Democratic Convention. I am a Delegate. Governor Bill Richardson, and Senator Christopher Dodd, will be the featured Speakers tomorrow.

Tomorrow

Tomorrow, I'm going up to Salt Lake City for the Utah State Democratic Convention. It's a 300 Mile Drive, each way. Governor Bill Richardson, and Senator Chris Dodd are the Featured Speakers.

MoveOn

On Saturday I went to a MoveOn Barbeque in St. George, Utah. It was great to watch Cat Stevens singing Peace Train on the Television. Our Hostess gave each of us, $10 Worth of Energy Saving Lightbulbs. It was great to meet with Fellow Progressives!

Worse than Halliburton

According to http://StopCorporateAbuse.org ExxonMobil is worse than Halliburton. How can that be? Part of the reason is, that even though ExxonMobil is the most Profitable Company in the World, they still refuse to pay the 4.5 Billion Dollars they owe for the Exxon/Valdez Oil Spill. Let's Boycott ExxonMobil immediately!

ExxonMobil

I'm calling for a Boycott of ExxonMobil. ExxonMobil is doing poorly on many different levels. They continually fund Anti-Global Warming Crackpots, they attack Environmentalists, and they gouge Consumers. Please join with me in boycotting ExxonMobil.
