Just a few thoughts.

Wow that Brad kid did a lot of serving others or was it a All about me ( Brad ) thing?
For sure the kid was busy in such a short time.
He just has to be Kidding!!

I too believe Brad to be misleading even untrue.

Look at his examples of "his proven leadership";
Which postions was the kid Elected to on various "Republican Party Positions",
what were the terms held? What County?
President of the Catoosa Young Republicans for how long & how old was the kid?,
County Chair of the Bush Campaign which ones?, he must have just got got of diapers,
How long a member of the GA Right To Life, oh was that with Ralph Reed, and the National Rifle Assoc, again terms and the kids age at that time,
Youth Minister, interesting where & how long has he been involed with youth & which county?
Been on an India Mission Trip, sounds like a great vacation & who paid his way?
First Name basis with various state officials, like Ron F., Jeff M, Jay N, Don T, Tom D, Sonny etc. etc,
who cares and is this not funny!,
High School Class President, what years and again what term & times?,
He has NO "original" ideas, just a puppet & the GOP boy toy!

I along with many votes think he is NOT ready, honest, qualified to hold any
county or state Elected ( by all the Votes )Office

Don't forget that there are Democrats in most of these races!! They just have not been given the same exposure as their Republican counterparts due to the fact that the Democrat races are unopposed. They will probably not be given much press until after the primary, when their races "Really" begin.

I commend Brad Scott for being involved in the "political process". We would probably be better off if more people were involved. Having said that, I do not believe Brad Scott is ready for a position of this magnitude.
Look at his website and the information that is included. I don't know if I would say that some of it is untrue (ShiningStar). I think it is more "mis-leading". I do not know if it is done "intentional" but I believe it to be misleading.
Look at his examples of "proven leadership". They list things such as :
Elected to various "Republican Party" positions
President of the Catoosa Young Republicans
County Chair of the Bush Campaign
Member of the GA Right To Life and the National Rifle Assoc
Youth Minister
Been on an India Mission Trip
First name basis with various state officials
High School Class President

These are all notable examples but I wonder how most are really relevant to the position of State Representative.

Another example is Brad's Plan to Lower Gas Prices. He portrays on his website that this is "His" plan. This has been talked about for months by a host of other elected officials and candidates as an option that needs to be looked at. Brad would have come across better by just saying that "he supports the idea of changing the method GA uses to tax motor fuels". Not by trying to make us think that this was his "original" idea.

I just do not think he is ready (qualified) for this honor. And it is an "honor" to serve your fellow citizens in this manner. Maybe he should run for city council or a county office first and get a little "elected" experience. Just a few thoughts.

I did hear something about a fundraiser with Zack Wamp. I have also heard that some of the things that he list on his website about himself are not true.

Is Brad the kid who wanted to run for office since he was 17/18 years old?
What is now 22/23 years old?
Is he a family man? married, any kids or in our service?
Where is he living? which Northwest GA county? or is it Tenn?
When is that Scott fundraiser thing by Zack Wanp? Where? or did he have it already? Is anyone invited?

Walker CI doesn't respond with the County because of some women in the County Dept. flirting with and even more with the Prisoners. There have been several "incidents" with different women that have been covered up. Now, not all the females in the Fire Dept are guilty of this but there are a select few that have corresponded and "fraternized" with inmates. On the other hand alot of men in the Fire Dept. have been involved in extr marital affairs as well "I hope not with the prison Fire Dept. staff" but as I have said before there is more sex scandal in the Fire Dept. than on Knotts Landing. Even though there had been alot of issues between the County and the City of LaFayette I doubt they would disrespect Dino in his final moment.

Just wanted to put this out there, please parents, grandparents, etc. don't ride your small children on the riding mower when you are mowing. It is so dangerous and many children each year are killed or severely injured by doing this.
