Editor’s Note: The 2024 Elections, Early Voting, starts in approximately 30 days and the voters in Cleveland County know virtually NOTHING about the “Condition” of Cleveland County Government and the performance of County Government and County Commissioners. Robert A has prepared a preliminary listing of issues and documents that should be made available to ALL Cleveland County Voters in preparation for them going to the Polls and selecting the best candidates.
So far all the Incumbent Commissioners and governmental insiders have provided the people of Cleveland County is NOTHING but BIG Signs paid for by their big dollar supporters who surely want something big in return from their chosen Candidates.
All Robert A. Williams promisesanybody and everybody is the truth, fairness for all, a good, capable and accountable county government and a modest self-funded campaign where there are NOOooo unethical political and financial favors to pay back once Robert A is in office.
Folks, Robert A has attached below a copy of his First Draft of the Issues presently facing Cleveland County. Most of these detailed items are hidden in deep secrecy by the Cleveland County Commissioners. Robert A demands answers and documentation of these issues so he can present the facts to the people.
Robert A also calculates that the Candidates with all their big signs will never reveal this information to the people and voters of Cleveland County. Also, Robert A calculates that all the Big Sign donors know that if Robert A is elected Commissioner, their “Gravy Trains” will soon be derailed.
To remedy such a situation as we presently have in Cleveland County, Robert A recommends citizens TAKE BACK CLEVELAND COUNTY from the bought and paid-for candidates and vote as follows:
Smart voters will pay attention to the Recommendations as follows:
For Commissioner:
- Robert A. Williams
- Linda Layne
- Carter York
For the CCS School Board:
- Samantha Davis
- Kenneth Ledford
- Matthew Canipe
- David Fisher
- Jay Carpenter
Robert A also recommends all Republican and Unaffiliated voters vote on Election Day, March 5, 2024. Your ballots will then be freshly cast and quickly counted and reported that very evening. Allowing much, much, much less time to be switched, modified, altered or otherwise be tampered with. Also remember that the CCGOP is still full of Rogue and RINO Republicans who still don’t believe election laws, rules or even their own Party’s Plan of Organization rules apply to them.
