[Bordermarch] Get to Know Our Candidatess

[Lou Burgin]

Dearest Tessa,  Please know that I am not trying to contradict you and I 
also understand that the money is a prohibitive issue anyway, but this 
meeting was never designed as "campaigning".  The purpose was to give people 
the opportunity to meet one-on- one with the candidates and get to know them 
better.  There would be no forum, no speeches, no politics.  I understand 
that you are following the rules set down by kingdom, but in this case I 
feel she has made a mistake. If you feel it would serve, you may foreard 
this to her.  AmberLea
