Delegate Bell to not back anyone previous to Augusta Mass Meeting

I has a great conversation with Delegate Bell this morning where he made it clear to me that he was not supporting any candidate for the Republican nomination for Augusta County Treasurer previous to the Augusta County Republican mass meeting.  The Delegate told me that he only wore the Homes sticker in the Staunton 4th of July parade because he was unaware that I was seeking the nomination as well and further stated that his wearing of the sticker shouldn't be construed as support.  The Delegate told me that support previous to the mass meeting would go against the sanctity and fairness that the mass meeting system represents.  I told him that he was free to support whoever he wanted to, but wanted him to be aware that I was also seeking the nomination.  Delegate Bell told me that he thought it was great that I had decided to run for the nomination and that he would hold any further support for whomever wins the mass meeting.  I look forward to working with Delegate Bell in the future on many issues and applaud what he has done for the citizens of his district.

I ask that all those whom are sick and tired of business as usual in Verona to please come out on July 28th at the Augusta County Government Center in Verona to support Jason Bibeau for the Republican nomination for Augusta Treasurer.

Good Old Boys, Don't Tread On Me!

GOP Good Old Boys Don't Tread On Me

       I am running for the nomination as a Republican for the office of Augusta County Treasurer.

I find it interesting, however that the Party has slighted me. I paid a $250 filing fee to be a candidate in the upcoming Republican mass meeting.  I thought by doing this, the local Republicans would have contacted me with the opportunity to place some of my signs on the GOP 4th of July parade float.  I guess I was mistaken when I believed that my years of commitment and multiple leadership roles in the ACRC would afford me that courtesy.  I was glad to be involved with my good friends at the Shenandoah Valley TEA Party Patriots float which drew tremendous applause at every turn.  

The absence of my signs and the presence of my opponent's signs on the GOP float, along with Chairman Bill Shirley's obvious display of my opponent's lapel sticker, is making me question the integrity of the upcoming mass meeting. See photo (click photo to enlarge) photos taken of the July 4th, 2011 GOP parade float.

It has become apparent to me that the GOP establishment good old boys are undermining my candidacy so that they can cover up the facts of a flawed assessment. If I were to get in as treasurer, I would have access to documents that could produce the evidence of a flawed assessment that was rubber-stamped  by my opponent, Treasurer Richard Homes.

I am resolved to continue my fight for the nomination of the GOP especially after paying $250 to participate in what I thought would be a fair election. I hope those who question the good old boy system as much as I will show up on Thursday, July 28, at 6:30 pm at the Government Center in Verona.
