Ladies and Gentlemen,

It will come as no great surprise to you to hear that the CEO loves capitalism and democracy, and believes that we are all currently living in the greatest country in the history of the world. A huge part of that greatness is We, The People. Every four years the citizens of this great nation come together to select a leader, to select representatives and leaders of our state(s), and to hold referendums on new laws that should perhaps be enacted, certain laws of which in Oregon anyway are batshit crazy and would cost the taxpayers (a class of citizen to which I reluctantly belong) an assload of money. Sorry, I got off track there. Anyhoo, where was I going with this? Oh yeah.

In the spirit of celebrating democracy, I would like to offer my endorsement of a certain candidate and encourage all Kjel.org readers to vote for him, whether legal or not to do so in your jurisdiction. Friends, Oregonians, Countrymen, I give you our next Director at Large, 1, for the West Multnomah Soil and Water Conservation District.

80 hours a week and no pay. Chief, you can thank me later.
