Tue, 10/27/2009 - 21:33 — SDR256Over $6000 left? Wow. I'm really impressed with John that he was so fiscally conservative. He didn't have an expensive political advisor, he got someone to do his photos and his website for free. These are all expenses that Dr. Truitt spent hard earned supporters dollars on. John had his signs stolen several times - big ones off his truck. Not as expensive as Dr. Truitt's wood framed, mounted, moulded with the finals, but still hard to replace just when the parade is starting. He went and borrowed his own signs back from the highway so he could have something for the parade. He has kept on chugging forward, and he still is chugging forward. I don't know how that guy is still on his feet.
This shows how he will fight for our kids - for all kids.
Wake County - ALL of Wake County - we need to fight for him now.
Why does Truitt need any money
