THE POISON PEN
THE POISON PEN
PROVERBS 13:3, -"The one who GUARDS HIS MOUTH preserves HIS LIFE; The one who OPENS WIDE his lips COMES TO RUIN."
PROVERBS 16:27-28, -"A worthless man DIGS UP EVIL, while HIS WORDS are as a SCORCHING FIRE. A PERVERSE MAN SPREADS STRIFE, and a SLANDERER SEPARATES INTIMATE FRIENDS."
Lies and slander meant to destroy the personal character and integrity of candidates harm the development of an intelligent and discriminating electorate. We are running a positive campaign focusing on a program of action and solutions to problems that exist educationally, and financially in the Kingston City School District.
I believe that good honest people don't need to create poison for their virtues to shine through. We supply the information for voters to make an informed decision when they go to the voting polls. We do not attack individuals, we offer solutions to serious issues facing our present educational system.
Slander is used to cause division, poison once revealed, it opens the door for the spirits of bitterness, envy, malice, hatred, and creates division to enter into the mind of others.
I am angry to think that someone with little intelligence would attack the very heart of an individual that has always put her Community first and sacrificed many years of service to make her community a better place to live and raise a family. Unfortunately we agree to disagree and that is the beauty of politics and the ability to rise above this makes us a true leader.
