Dear Senator Yager,
If you believe that your brief, standard form reply makes me feel
heard about my concerns, you are more out of touch than I had
imagined. I doubt that you respond that way to your lobbyist friends
from the coal industry.
Due to your current mental distance from our community, you may be
unawares that there is a profound political shift taking place in your
district. People are beginning to pay attention to what the
politicians are doing and saying as a result of the catastrophic TVA
environmental disaster that has affected our County. And senator, a
lot of them don't like what they see and hear coming from you.
In the past, you have been elected because you were a known quantity
who, although lacking in environmental awareness and ideological
substance, was considered a GOB and therefore somewhat harmless.
However, change is now shifting the landscape under your feet, but how
would you know, since you seem to operate under a lot of false
assumptions?
In conclusion, let me assure you that a wake up call is coming your
way, and if you continue to be asleep at the wheel as you have been
since this TVA disaster, you're liable to find yourself having to get
a new day job.
Sincerely,
Leaf Myczack, a Roane County Farmer

Candidates:
Amen
Roane knew Ken
Roane's support was luke warm
The district did not know Ken
The larger district is less concerned
with Roane's plight from coal
Ken is 100% politician
He knows the game
He knows the score
He knows four years is forever in elections
people lose their passion and support
they become broken by the broken dreams, hopes, and promises
Roane carries much weight
However, the larger district must come to know
the Ken that Roane knows
That message must come from Roane
that knows his heart and soul
that has been sold to the coal
