JAMES MADISON QUOTE - 1822

"A popular government without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but a Prologue to a Farce or a Tragedy; or, perhaps both. Knowledge will forever govern ignorance; and a people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power knowledge gives."

Horrace Clemmons Announces Bid for Senate District 8 Seat

Jackson County Commissioner for Place 4, Horrace Clemmons
Little Napoleon, Clemmons has acted in Napoleonic style toward bullying commissioners and citizens who do not agree with his secrecy and efforts at division. I purchased the rights of this image to demonstrate Horrace Clemmons Napoleonic style of management on the County Commission. He seems to think that the county commission is his entity to carry forth his secretive agenda. He has plans which he will not disclose. It is my opinion he is a dangerous government official which has supported secret meetings, closed door sessions and decision making out of the the open meeting while conducting legal mediation. Mr. Clemmons' conducts government business as if he was the owner of a business, in secret and beyond the scope of the public eye.
I had heard rumors about this alleged move on Wednesday. Many were stating there was a Facebook posting which had announced Clemmons' run for the Senate seat. In a "Breaking News" story the Daily Sentinel made the announcement. http://thedailysentinel.com/news/article_7b274b1a-dc6c-11df-8230-001cc4c03286.html#user-comment-area


From his Facebook page: Oct. 19, 2010 11:09 "Horace Clemmons If you, like me, are having a difficult time with the options that we have on the ballot for State Senate District 8 then please write-in “Horace Clemmons” on your ballot."


Today, Oct. 20, 2010, Horrace Clemmons says: "Horace Clemmons All of you that know me, know I am a Democrat, a belief fromed from my life experiences. That is why I find Senator Barron's statement in The Daily Sentinel off the mark, "It was my understanding [Clemmons] was strongly supporting Shadrack McGill." Were I to have voted for either candidate, it would have been the Democrat."


Well Mr. Clemmons you may say you are a Democrat and that is certainly your choice but I must say you are about the most Republican acting Democrat I've seen. A "wolf in sheeps clothing" has been seen in these parts, as a Republican your chances are slim to nil in being elected to Senate District 8.

The bottom line, there has been more turmoil during this county commission's tenure than any other in recent memory. Mr. Clemmons has contributed greatly to the turmoil, secrecy, division and surepiticious rule making. He has attempted to bully citizens and colleagues alike while on this commission. It is my opinion the election Horrace Clemmons representing Senate District 8 would be an error in judgement for the citizens of Jackson County.
