Nathan Allen for Leon County District 3

NathanAllen — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 18:14:20 GMT

Hello,

I’d like to introduce myself and tell you a little about my campaign.

I’m Nathan Allen and I’ve lived in Tallahassee/Leon County since 1984. I am a graduate of Lincoln High. I have worked over 16 years in the hospitality industry. I am married and my wife will graduate from the Pat Thomas Law Enforcement Academy on December 15th.

I am running for Leon County Commission District 3 (NW). I am a fiscal conservative and believe that a small government is best. You can find all my issues and my promises on my [url=http://www.nathanallen.info]website[/url]. You can link to my Facebook fan page from there.

This Tuesday, December 1st, I will be on WFLA FM 100.7 with Preston Scott at 8:05. Please tune in to hear me discuss some pressing issues that I believe will help Leon County take a step forward to becoming a better local government. If you miss it live you can listen from their website: [url=http://wflafm.com/pages/morningshow.html]The Morning Show[/url].

Also, Saturday December 5th I will be at the John G. Riley Center for a “Culture to Culture” Rock-A-Thon Celebration to raise money for Riley Museum’s heritage education programs. Come out for a meet & greet and some cultural entertainment. Myself and some other local candidates will be there to help this cause.

You can reach me through my website or me[at]nathanallen.info

Thanks and I hope to meet you soon,

Nathan Allen

Stolen Andros Backwater!

Heads up to everyone to be on the lookout for Salty Tiger's new Andros Backwater. It was stolen last night! It looks like a panga and is white with a light green hull. There isn't many around so if you see one please call the law so we can catch these a-holes.

Here is a photo of the boat.

HUNTERS, TIME TO CONTACT YOUR SENATORS AND REPS!

Protecting & Advancing America's Heritage of
Hunting, Fishing & Trapping August 27, 2009

Dear Club Leader:
The U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance (USSA) is extremely concerned about President Obama’s choice for a powerful regulatory position in the White House. Cass Sunstein, the president’s pick to head the powerful Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA), has been an advocate for the animal rights movement and is an anti-hunter. As a part of the federal budget office, OIRA has extensive authority to block rules, including those that protect hunting and conservation.
Sunstein claims that, “we might ban hunting altogether, at least if it’s sole purpose is human recreation.” He also supports allowing lawsuits on behalf of animals, a right currently only extended to human beings.
Your support is needed to block him from being in a position to harm America’s sportsmen.
This is why it is crucial that your organization contact BOTH of your state’s U.S. Senators and urge them to vote NO on confirming Cass Sunstein as the head of the OIRA. Additionally, the USSA would ask that you encourage you to call both Senators’ offices in Washington, DC as well as FAX letters to their DC and state based offices.

Sincerely,

Frank Price
Field Services Director

Link to your Senator in this article: http://www.ussportsmen.org/Page.aspx?pid=2066

Press Release: http://www.ussportsmen.org/Page.aspx?pid=2091&srctid=1&erid=3770180

Another example of someone who has extensive education and law experience, and no experience in anything else. But has developed a philosphy based entirely upon theory.
