Cast your vote against stagnation

by on Thursday, May 5th, 2016

Dear friends and neighbors, please consider the choices available to you in the upcoming election. On the one hand, the old forces of corruption and patronage, on the other, wise, just, and honest government.

We cannot tell you the number of times we have sought to do business in your fair environs, only to be rebuffed by your corrupt Mayor. He promises a drilling permit, then withholds a surface lease. He offers us a pipeline right-of-way, then sends armed men to threaten our surveyors. We have paid triple the going rate for land, twice!

This man, Godenot, does not have your best interests at heart. Had he signed with us, your city could be enjoying the wealth and prosperity that the towns of Beaumont and Houston now enjoy. The industry and prosperity brought by the liquid gold beneath feet could be yours if not for the terrible corruption and bribes this man creates and demands.

Drive Godenot from office, and from your town, and you too can enjoy the prosperity and wealth that we have brought to every community in our wake.
