Nowata, OK

enlighten me please. from what i can find out, Mr. Bridges has been a full time national guardsmen for many years. Everyone thinks highly of him and all for their duty during this damn war. But what has he done prior to it. No one can tell me what public involvement he has played in the past. No one to date has given me a community involvement history or public experience. Other than he is a national guardsmen, and wants to become a preacher. Nobel cause, but history tells us preachers don't make good unbiased politicians. What would come first, the rural needs or the needs of his church.  Has he ever been on a committee, or board? Has he ever served within the community? I think this information would be helpful to those who know little about him. What experience does Mr. Schrader have. All of the above questions can be asked of him as well. What is his history in Nowata County? No one knows much about him as well. Living in rural Nowata County we have little access to these questions. Yet how the town people vote seems to effects us the most. Please vote for someone that truly wants to make Rural Nowata County their foremost concern. Not just a good ole boy looking for supplemental income. Seems that so far Mr. Schrader has a lot more desire and ideas. And now reading blogs about his assumed sites, he has possibly put effort into governmental public service before. When he spoke to me he seems to knows the problems and where they are. I don't feel comfortable about his ideas to correct the lack of money problems. But he has ideas. He seems to have the people of the county in mind. The only information i can get about Bridges is from others. And most say he is a hell of a guy. A real patriot, and serves his country well. So did General Patton. But i don't think Patton would have made a good public official. As religious as he was, he was regimental and didn't serve the public well after his commission expired. Not to say others would be like him. So to say the least I'm undecided about the Democratic choice. Can anyone tell me more about each of these men? So far Mr. Scharader seems to be the most devoted to the needs of us in the county. All that i have heard are only rumors. I certainly don't think all is correct, and would like to hear from others. Not just each others supporters.  Concerned Democrat...oh yea vote for Obama.....
