I thought I had a good plan in my attempt to win a seat on the City Council. Personally deliver a calling card to every active voter in Ward Four. Provide insightful and accurate answers to surveys from interest groups and news media. Place my qualifications and positions on an easy accessible web site. Provide signs to residents who agree with my goals and objectives. Distribute flyers to all residents for their consideration. And finally, call upon residents to answer their questions and solicit support.

Unfortunately my last effort has been severely hampered by the lack of a timely delivery of the flyers. Knowing I would be out of town for over a week, I chose to hire a reliable small business to deliver the flyers. I knew they were reliable because the city has been using them for a few years to deliver notices to residents. Bad choice.

I will be walking the streets again now that a new friend and I have delivered a reprint of the flyers to over three quarters of the Ward. For details on the unreliable distributor of flyers, see http://www.wardfour.info
