Editor:
Recently the Greater Eureka Chamber of Commerce, the Humboldt Builders Exchange and the Eureka Times-Standard all endorsed me in the race for Eureka City Council.
Hundreds of individuals from liberals to conservatives, including recent members of the Humboldt Democratic Central Committee and the Republican Central Committee, have also endorsed me.
Why? Because good intentions aren’t enough. Slogans and cliches are only empty words unless you have real experience, knowledge of the community and leadership skills to get things done.
My concern and knowledge about the homeless situation is not just a theoretical exercise but a problem that directly impacted my family for years and resulted in the death of my younger brother.
One of the things you can count on with me is that I listen to all points of view before casting any votes and I treat everyone with respect.
I would appreciate your support on Nov 8.
John Fullerton, Eureka
This article appears in An American Genocide.
Fullerton will likely win in a landslide, I should hope.
“My concern and knowledge about the homeless situation is not just a theoretical exercise but a problem that directly impacted my family for years and resulted in the death of my younger brother.”
??? I find no information to clarify this statement regarding your brother.
What a crock.
If Fullertons experience contained an example of leadership, that example would have appeared in his mailers. Empty words, Mr. Fullerton. Many people in Eureka volunteer for their community, and all deserve gratitude.
If Fullerton respects everyone he would refrain from accusing his opponent, a cardiac health worker at St. Joseph Hospital, of running an insincere campaign of slogans and cliches.
I already voted for Austin Allison, not simply because the veins in his nose are not dilated, like so many of Eurekas Old-Guard, but because its time we began respecting our intelligent, professional and confident youth by giving them a well-deserved opportunity to take their community in a positive new direction
