Lets Get Positive in 2006
Elect Jeff Perry State Representative 5th District Barnstable:
"While our First Amendment certainly protects free speech, especially political speech, it does not allow someone to make false statements with the reckless intention to damage someone's reputation. Speaking to many local officials, I am hearing more often that some well qualified individuals decide not to seek elected office due to their apprehension that their personal integrity will be under constant attack."
Representative Jeff Perry of Sandwich hits the nail on the head with his column this month. It is a sad commentary on our local, state and federal politics when running for office requires that you must be ready to endure such libel and slander. Hopefully the voters will take Jeff Perry's message to heart, and send a clear message to the candidates that negative, attack campaigns will not be tolerated. Enough is enough...
