Dr. Register is Right!

Here's his article from the Tennessean.

He's right.

MNPS is at a critical juncture and should absolutely "shoot for the moon." The children of Nashville deserve nothing less.

We can hardly believe that Thanksgiving week is already upon us. And because of your support we have a lot to be thankful for this year.Not only did we have our best fundraising quarter yet, but we also widened our lead in the polls. We continue to raise more than our opponent in Kentucky and in small dollar donations. In the most recent Survey USA poll we also increased our lead to 11 points.We’re continuing to receive endorsements from all over the state. Read about our most recent one from the Kentucky Laborers’ District Council here.
As you can see – we have a lot to be thankful for. But we’re most thankful to have supporters like you. There is a reason why our campaign is leading by significant margins in small dollars donors and in the polls – it’s because of you.You’ve chosen to stand with me in my fight to bring quality healthcare, good jobs and affordable energy to the Commonwealth. This is not just my campaign – but our campaign for Kentuckians by Kentuckians. I hope you and your family have a safe and wonderful Thanksgiving week.Happy Thanksgiving,

Dr. Dan

Jim Kyle's Bringing the Cops

Here's the email:


Dear Friend,
I’m proud to announce that the Memphis Police Association - a group that represents over 2,000 police officers across the city – has endorsed me as their choice for Tennessee’s next governor.
I couldn’t be more honored to have their support. Public safety is one of the top concerns of Tennesseans, it means a great deal to know that the Association has recognized me as the candidate that can make the choices that will keep our cities safe.
These men and women dedicate their lives to protecting and serving the people of Memphis, and as governor, I will work to make sure that all police officers in Tennessee are properly equipped and well funded.
It’s great to have law enforcement as part of our growing team. I hope you will help us keep this momentum going.
Please get involved today!
Thanks in advance for your support.
Jim Kyle

Roy Herron -- Still Organizing

Here is the latest email from the Herron campaign touting 3 wins in Straw Polls. I know, some people discount the straw polls. But, to win, there must be some level of organization. And Herron has won every one of them so far. By convincing margins. Now, he's pushing the theme that he's the Democrat who can take on the son of the Pilot Oil fortune. Read on:

On Monday, we won our third straw poll in a row!We received 49% of the votes cast for five candidates at the Hamilton County Democratic Party’s annual Kefauver Dinner in Chattanooga. Two days earlier, we won the straw poll in Sullivan County with 57% of the vote. And in September, we won the first Democratic straw poll in Rutherford County, also by a large margin.If someone had said months ago, when our campaign began, that we would win the first three Democratic straw polls in this race for Governor, the pundits wouldn’t have believed it. Heck, I wouldn’t have believed it.But we did.Some pundits also claim a Democrat has little chance of being elected Governor next year. Some think that only the richest candidates should even be considered.But they forget what we can accomplish together with a lot of hard work – and with the support of people across Tennessee.I represent nine counties in West and Middle Tennessee. For 23 years, I have received the strong support of those rural areas. But winning straw polls in metropolitan areas like Murfreesboro, Tri-Cities, and Chattanooga – with margins a hometown candidate would envy – proves our message and hard work are reaching Tennesseans. Observers have noted the "small army of Roy Herron volunteers" greeting 3,000 Democrats at Jackson Day and our "unique ability to bridge the gap between rural and urban" Tennesseans. Our campaign team and volunteers are committed to the hard work it takes to win, and we’ll be working even harder in the months ahead to earn the trust and support of voters all across Tennessee.Will you help us?Our decisive wins in the straw polls prove we can connect with citizens all across Tennessee. But we need your support to reach others.Will you support our campaign by contributing $50, $100, or $250 to help provide the resources we need to win?Thomas Edison said, "Opportunity is missed by most because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work."Let’s not miss this opportunity to work hard – and work together – to build a winning campaign and make Tennessee work for all of us.Thank you for your kind consideration!
Your friend, Roy
