Emails

I have received these emails and thought you might want to comment on them.

The election in May is crucial to Leauge City's future and how our money is spent.

We need people on council who will support our Mayor and the views of the people that live here. In this day and age things are changing fast locally, state and worldwide. We need conservative leaders that have moral and ethical values. We don’t need more of the good ole boy system. That is what you will get if you elect Pat Hallisey, Tommy Cones and Ed Station. If you want change you need to vote for Mike Lee, Mick Phalen and Phylis Sanborn. Mr. Hallisey, thank you for your prior years of service to League City. This is a different town and a different place from 20 years ago. Mr. Hallisey, it’s time to leave your service in the past. Mr. Cones, we thank you for your interesting service. Voting for $390K to be spent on a dog track is not using my money wisely! Your time is up; you need to move into the past. Mr. Station, I am sorry that you associate with these two candidates but your time will never come. League City citizens I urge you to get out vote and make a difference.

VOTE to continue the change

Vote for Mick Phalen


The Top Ten Reasons Why to Vote for Pat Hallisey:

1.)Pat needs a job.
His consulting gigs and his developer money from the last campaigns are all gone.

2.)Pat needs to be in a position where he can feel important.
He has never won an election and his appointed positions that made him feel important have all ended very abruptly.

3.)Pat needs credibility.
After spending tens of thousands of everyone else’s money on losing campaigns no one listens to what he has to say.

4.)Pat needs Developer money.
His friends are tired of paying for his lunches at the country club. And when Pat pays for lunch they all know they will be ordering off Taco Bell’s dollar menu.

5.)Pat needs more friends on his facebook account.
Face book monitors emailed him to say that he needs to have more than 2 people to continue to keep that sight up. (and they do not count multiple email addresses going to the same IP address as legitimate friends)

6.)Pat needs to buy a home.
He needs more room for all the files he will have when he takes those that have wronged him to court.

7.)Pat needs to have someone listen to him.
The help line at dell has blocked his phone number.

8.)Pat needs to buy a new sharpening stone.
He has many more axes to grind.

9.)Pat’s friends need some down time from him.
If you had to listen to him all the time wouldn’t you?

10.)Pat needs to buy anti hacking software
To keep everyone from taking over his computer and posting nasty, hateful thoughts on the web and blaming him.
