If you are on Facebook please visit and Like the page. We will be posting
updates and videos here through the rest of the campaign and we are using
this page to promote Chad throughout the riding via Facebook ads.

Debates
=======
Just a reminder that the "big" debate is tonight at ODSS from 7-9. It will
be televised on Rogers local channel 63. Please come out and support Chad
if you are able. There is a meet and greet from 6:30 to 7pm.

Chad did really well in the first debate in Terra Cotta last week. You can
watch videos of the debate here:

We are compiling a shorter video that focuses on Chad's responses to each
question.

There is another debate this Thursday on the Environment at Westminster
United Church at 7pm.

Thank You
=========
Thank you to everyone who has offered to help us out with various
activities during the campaign including helping us get 150 signatures,
door knocking/flyer distribution, sign installation and manning our booth
at the Shelburne and Grand Valley Fall Fairs.

Also... Thank you very much to everyone who has donated to help us Elect
Chad! We have been able to erect more signs than we expected (just ordered
100 more Lawn Signs) and we are running commercials on both MyFM and
Country 105. We will be running Facebook ads/videos until the day before
the election. We even got a very nice donation from a former resident of
the riding who now lives in Atlantic Canada!

If you have not donated yet, please consider helping us out with a donation
of $20, $100, or $400, whatever your budget can afford. Just a reminder
that you will receive a 75% tax credit on your first $400 of donations so a
$100 donation only costs $25 out of pocket.
