BLAKELY IS UNWORTHY

I am highly concerned about david Blakely's attempt to reclaim his seat on
the Board of Supervisors.

Blakely is an admitted violator of the law. He has admitted using such
illegal drugs as cocaine, LSD, and psychedelic mushrooms (which he even
admitted growing for more than 10 years). This all occurred during the
period he was teaching impressionable young people at Atascadero High School.

This was not teenage or college-age experimentation. This was a
long-running drug habit while Blakely was an adult. The fact that he has
already shown a willingness to break our society's laws and influence our
youth in the wrong direction should disqualify him from holding public office.

David Blakely is trying to pull the wool over the eyes of the District 5
voters. Don't be fooled.
