DAVIS' DARE STAND WRONG FOR CHILDREN

To The Editor: There is no way Rick Davis, who is running for Henderson
County sheriff, will get my vote!

Rick Davis wants to take away the DARE camp and dance from our kids.
DARE is for the children and to teach our children about drug
resistance. My son was in the fifth grade last year and he looked
forward to every DARE dance.

He was also chosen to go to the DARE camp. In his own words "it was
awesome."

To me, his mother, this indicates a step in the right direction
against future drug related problems for my son. It is my
understanding that the DARE camps are self-funded by the dances and do
not involve county funding.

In my opinion, we need to look out for the future, which includes
protecting our children of today. If Rick Davis isn't looking out for
the best interest of our children, our future, do we really want him
in public office? I know I don't.
