Doing the right thing for the right reason

To the Editor:
Some say we are violating Pike County Republican Committee by-laws by supporting Ray Tonkin. The bylaws state in part that the committee may take part in and support the nomination.

We believe "may"�was intentionally used by the author who couldn't foresee every future scenario. Those who spout this nonsense have failed to even mention it during a Pike County Republican Committee meeting. Why? The majority of the committee, who serve with both Ray Tonkin and Kelly Gaughan, are supporting the re-election of Ray Tonkin, who remains a Republican state committeeman.

Ray is a lifelong Republican with the ability to impartially represent all people of Pike County, Republicans, Democrats and Independents alike. He�s kind, caring, and stands up against injustice with integrity, honesty and procedural expertise. Pike County, to Ray Tonkin, is more than a stepping stone; he spent his adult life protecting our community. Pike County needs Ray Tonkin and Ray Tonkin needs your vote Nov 3. Do the right thing for the right reasons.
