OK, folks! My wonderful sister who took me in during the evacuation now needs our help!
As of last week, she is officially a Democratic Candidate For General Sessions Judge, Division 8, in Nashville, TN! Her campaign officially began on November 3rd. She has been preparing for this opportunity for years, and it is her dream to serve as judge.
She has already spent months pounding the pavement in her grass roots campaign to meet people and get the word out locally that she is a candidate for General Sessions Judge. I have seen her in action at a political function this summer, and I can tell you personally that she is awesome. She has been a police officer for many years and worked hard to earn her law degree during that time, and she has also served for the past three years as a Special, Substitute Judge for the General Sessions Court in Nashville, ruling on a wide range of cases.
Being elected judge will allow her to "continue to protect and serve". If there was ever a person who was made for this position, it is my sister.
How you can help: I'm just going to put it bluntly -- send money to "The Committee to Elect Welch for Judge"!
We all know how the political system works. It takes money to get elected.
Tonette has a campaign committee together and is going through all the official channels. Ideally they need to raise $100,000 dollars or more toward the campaign for her to be a contender.
Any amount will help. You do not have to live in Nashville, or be one of her constituants to contribute to her campaign. If you would just like to see more women in politics, starting with this incredible woman, then get out your checkbook or click her Paypal link and donate online! Legally, you can give up to $1000 per person, LLC or partnership. Corporations cannot donate.
Remember, any amount will help, from $1 up to $1000!
Information about how to contribute is on her website at Welch For Judge.com. She has a Paypal link too!!
The election primary is May 2, 2006 and the final election is November 2006. Let's get out there and help her WIN!
