Tail Gate party

First I would like to thank everyone that braved the rain and came out for a Hamburger or Hot Dog, soft drinks and chatting with your neighbors you haven't seen for a while. Special thanks to Scott C. for letting us use his front yard and garage, it really is a great location for a party. Also like to thank Tall Scott for getting the banners and distributing flyers in our neighborhood. Thanks to Bjorn and Carmen for everything they did and use of their grill, Bjorn is a master chef for sure. Special thanks to Kelly McDonald for helping us arrange a good date and time and getting NFL there on time and with a spectacular entrance. Thanks to Sue Ann for her awning, it kept a lot of rain off of us.

And thank you Melissa Northern, Al Filidoro and Steve Lyda for showing our attendees your honesty, integrity and your desire to make sure the right thing is done for the residents along Morriss Road and all of the residents of Flower Mound. The fact that you ask us as many questions as we ask you show you really do care. It will be a pleasure knowing someone is minding the store and keeping outside developers from pilfering every last thing left not nailed down.

It's really amazing how the real issues in this race aren't about gas or roads or apartments, its about someone that will run our town like a business and make sound financial decisions that will keep our town vibrant well into the next decade. How the true need to create jobs in our town before we build apartments to house the applicants. They all pledged to make sure any decisions regarding Morriss Road will be based on true need, traffic studies, and what is right for our town, instead of doing it because its been planned that way for 30 years.
Its funny, they are talking just as we tried to beat into the heads of our current majority for the last year. They have listened and just like to us, it makes sense to them. The right thing to do. Be assured as I am No road will be crammed down our throats, but because of the actions of Tom Hayden and Al Filidoro during last years crucial council meeting, we will get the things out of it we need. Landscaping, new fences, Sidewalk improvements, Major intersection improvements, New traffic signals to make it safer, new access and other safety measures around the schools. All things that we asked for at all those town council meeting in the last year. Thank you Tom and Al and all of the town staff and engineering that paid attention and made us part of the solution. Despite Paul Stone, The Mayor and all those that dismissed us as just another flash in the pan activist group, we are a force in this town now.

Now we really need your help, just like we did last year, We need to "Make Time to Vote". you will be seeing those signs as reminders when the time comes for early voting and election day on May 8th. We need to make time to vote on the first day of early voting so you can go out in your neighborhoods and brag to your neighbors that you voted for the future of our town and feel really good about it and then convince, needle, cajole, plead, beg and taxi your neighbors over to vote too.

If you see the NFL express golf cart in your neighborhood in the next few weeks, take some time to talk with them. They, like us are really good people and the kind of neighbors and leaders of our town we want.

Remember, Vote NFL, that's Melissa Northern, Al Filidoro and Steve Lyda. And take time to vote, because THIS time it truly matters.
