“I am sure Commissioner Calkins, like many parents of small children in our country, feels that the Democrat platform has regrettably become corrupted, prurient and evil.

I do not know Ms. Alford and have no opinion as to her character or qualification for this Board, however I often encourage Republicans to step up and apply for local governmental boards so that our religious tenets and constitutional conservative values
