“Each of our lives can be viewed like a series of stages
through which we must pass and transform. Each of us is a work in progress and every
stage has a purpose. Every stage, whether exultant or arduous, plays a major role in build-
ing our character and delivering us to our destiny. Seeking success can be an overwhelm-
ing experience. You may be tempted to give up. If you hit a roadblock, simply find another
route around what prohibits your success.”-- EDWIN HAYNES

True leadership is when others follow you even when they don't have to. There is a
distinct difference between being a leader and being a dictator. Dictators are followed
out of fear, but true leaders are followed out of respect. A leader’s job is to steer or in-
fluence others to work toward obtaining a desired goal. It takes an extraordinary per-
son to convince and inspire others to take action or to follow your lead.
I mentor thousands of people therefore, being a leader means being a leader in every
aspect of my life, not just in a professional world. My prerequisite for leadership has
everything to do with the maintenance of my personal, professional and spiritual life.
Without that my organization would never be able to trust me in any aspect of life, in-
cluding business.
As a child, I loved watching my father work to build his business. I was always
right by his side trying to learn how to be just like him. It seemed that he did every-
thing with determined effort that consistently produced winning results. I possessed
an enduring yearning to be like my father. This yearning could only be nourished by
his powerful example of leadership. Good leaders do just that: they possess the ability
to take people forward.
The best leaders are those who can relate to a wide variety of personalities with a
positive attitude. Keeping an open mind and educating myself on various cultural,
community and regional business practices is very important to me. I invest in rela-
tionship building, books, videos, DVD’s and CD’s to aid continuous education on
how to respect various personalities as well as humbly communicate with others.
Leadership is never solely about me—how far I’ve come, nor how far I’m going.
I desire to empower and to create the conditions that allow others to develop and
prosper. Strong leaders are dedicated to the economic, emotional, and spiritual ad-
vancement of others.
Several years ago, my business partners and I developed an operating philoso-
phy that includes taking a look at our personal goals once a year. This allows us to
finalize our personal goals prior to entering a new
year. More importantly, this practice allows us to
focus on the goals of the thousands of individuals
we serve. It’s all about service. Our motto: We be-
lieve that as you advance and acquire a leadership
role, you should continue to serve others.

In 1965 the Harris County Domed Stadium (today
known as the Reliant Astrodome) was nicknamed
the “Eight Wonder of the World”. But the structure
once called “a wonder” by some, is being called
“an eye-sore” and even an ugly old building whose
days are number by others. But for me, I can re-
member visiting the massive structure known as
the Houston Astrodome and marveling at its awe-
someness and splendor as a child. I didn’t go
there much — as we couldn’t afford too. But I
think that was why the times I was able to go were
so special to me. There’s a part of me that
somehow just doesn’t seem to want to let go;
so I’m pulling for the dome to live on and I’m
hoping you’re doing the same.
THE FIRST OF ITS KIND
The world’s first multipurpose domed
sports stadium has brought us both good times
and bad; memories we would like to hold on to
forever, and a few we would like to perhaps
forget as it relates to sports.
READY FOR A NEW DOME EXPERIENCE?
The Harris County Sports & Convention Corp
plans to honor the dome’s legacy through a $194
million project dubbed “The New Dome Experi-
ence”. Don’t forget to vote on Tuesday, November
5, 2013. Early voting begins on Mon., Oct. 21st.

Shares A Few Thoughts
On How She Goes
About Identifying
the best Candidate
In An ElectionAUBREY R. TAYLOR: “As a voter, how do you go about selecting the
person who is the best candidate in any given election? And what are a
few of the characteristics you look for in a leader?”
MAYOR ANNISE PARKER: “It is wrong to run for office just to be in
politics; elected officeholders should want to work toward change that
will improve the lives of those they represent. I have often said that my
job is the best job available because I have the opportunity everyday to
truly impact our great city and its residents for the better. When I am per-
sonally deciding which candidates to support in an election, obviously, I
look for someone who shares my views and positions on the issues. I also
look for someone who is passionate, exhibits leadership qualities and is
motivated to serve.
Leadership is not simply taking the reigns and getting the job
done. A leader also has to be willing to listen to different points of view,
flexible enough to change course when the original path proves unwork-
able or will create an undesirable outcome. And a leader must be willing
to compromise. They need to be genuinely concerned about their con-
stituents, and about improving the area they will represent. Ultimately,
however, a leader needs to be able to generate consensus through a coop-
erative approach and stand strong even when the final decision may not
be politically popular.”

Vice Mayor Pro-Tem C.O. “Brad” BradfordShares A Few Thoughts On How he Goes About Identifying the bestCandidate In An ElectionAUBREY R. TAYLOR: “As a voter, how do you go about selecting the person who is the best candidate
in any given election?”
VICE MAYOR PRO-TEM BRADFORD: “Who is the best candidate will surely, and properly so, vary from
voter to voter. As a voter, I am concerned with someone who brings experience, training and education to the
arena. Many of the issues facing our city, state and nation today are complex and multifaceted. The demand for
services constantly increases and public resources seem to dwindle. Our population is more and more diverse
with high, varied expectations. Therefore, it is my belief that managing the financial and human resources, along
with capital assets entrusted to public officials today requires in-depth knowledge and skills.”
AUBREY R. TAYLOR: “What are a few of the characteristics you look for in a leader?”
VICE MAYOR PRO-TEM BRADFORD: “Leaders need to be able to inspire! Transforming a vision into a
plan and subsequent implementation is no easy task. Leaders understand that reward is attached to performance
and that anything worth having isn’t easy to get. Leaders demonstrate that it is nice to be important, but more im-
portant to be nice. And, at the end of the day, when it is all said and done, it is not going to matter how many de-
grees we have, what titles or what positions we’ve held. The question is going to be, ‘what have you done to help
others?’ Leaders have a love for humanity and a passion to make a difference for the greater good of all.”

Fort Bend Independent
Missouri City Mayor Allen Owen told his
audience of more than 300 guests that giving
his annual state of the city address this year
was a “milestone” because the event was being
held in Missouri City for the first time at the re-
cently completed City Centre in Quail Valley.
He then went on to say that Rice Univer-
sity recently named Missouri City as one of the
most diverse cities in the region. “Diversity has
become a very important part of our commu-
nity,” he said, and added that the strategic prox-
imity and a highly educated workforce
continually attract new businesses.
Because the city’s goal has been to attract
businesses and lower homeowner property
taxes, Owen said that over the past five years
Missouri City has had a double digit increase in
commercial growth and that development is
taking place city wide, not just in certain areas.
“Companies choosing to break new busi-
ness ground here,” Owen said, include Niag-
ara Bottling, Southwest Electronic Energy,
Warren Alloy, Bimbo Bakeries, CNC Manu-
facturing and they have all located in Lake-
view Business Park.
“Niagara Bottling,” Owen said, “is the na-
tion’s second largest water bottling firm. It has
started production in its 356,000 square-foot
plant and will soon install a second line, with a
third to be added in 2014.”
Warren Alloy is a major supplier of stain-
less steel pipe, fittings and flanges and is oper-
ating out of its 156,00-square-foot building. In
2014 its parent company, Allied Fittings Group,
plans to build a 250,000-square-foot distribu-
tion facility in Lakeview.
Southwest Electronic Energy designs and
manufactures lithium-ion battery packs in its
62,500-square-foot facility in Lakeview Busi-
ness Park, and Bimbo Bakeries, owner of Mrs.
Baird Bread and other bakery brands, is build-
ing a 20,000-square-foot facility and will dis-
tribute products throughout the Houston area.
CNC Manufacturing is to start construc-
tion on its 72,000-square-foot high automated
computerized machine shop late in the second
quarter of this year and plans to occupy the
space by the first quarter of 2014. Owen also
said that the Missouri City staff is currently
working with a food manufacturer about buy-
ing 20 acres in Lakeview to build a 250,000-
square-foot facility.
While the Lakeview Business Park con-
tinues to fill up with businesses so does the

growth, says Mayor

South Gessner Road business corridor. In the
Beltway Crossing Complex, Owen said, Ben E.
Keith Foods is close to completing its 450,000-
square-foot facility that will be the company’s
base for Gulf Coast distributions of hot and cold
food products to restaurants, convenience stores
and companies that prepare food.
Ben E. Keith will open in June with its cur-
rent 250 employees and will grow that. “They are
and will be the city’s largest employer.” The
mayor noted that “Ben E. Keith trucks say ‘Mis-
souri City, Texas’ on the bottom, so thank you.”
Then he talked about Twin Star Packaging,
the company that packages trays of Frito-Lay
products. They have built two more buildings,
and American Tire is leasing space also.
Fort Bend Brewing Co. is the first craft
brewery to open in Missouri City. Their product
is sold in grocery stores, restaurants and around
town. You can also take a tour of the brewery on
the second and fourth Saturdays of every month.
The mayor also noted that Twin Star Bak-
ery is cooking up sweet treats in its 276,000-
square-foot bakery and distribution center.
Stream Realty Group, which originally built two
buildings in the complex and leased them to
Charming Charlie’s and Professional Packaging,
recently built two more. American Tire Distribu-
tors leased one and Frank’s Supply, an automo-
tive parts distributor leased the other.
Stream Realty is looking at buying another
15 acres on which to build two more buildings,
Owen said.
Bearden Development, which built the of-
fice/warehouse buildings on Stafford Road at
Pike Road, has announced they will build two
new warehouses of about 25,000 square feet
each. Trammel Crow, the developer of Lakeview
Business Park, also plans to build two new ware-
houses. One would be about 95,000 square feet
and the other 150,000.
Owen said Missouri City now has a second
Wal-Mart near Fort Bend Parkway and a Dunkin
Donuts at Sienna Parkway and Hwy. 6. There is
also a new Raising Cane’s at Murphy Road and
Hwy. 6 and a second hotel, Hampton Inn, is to
open at Colonial Lake Drive and Hwy. 6.
“What all of this means for Missouri City
is over $500 million worth of new business to
the city and over 1,500 new jobs. Companies
like Ben E. Keith and Niagara have held em-
ployment workshops and seminars here where
they’ve hired local people.
“We will have a daily workforce that will
actually work in the city. When we talk to
restaurants about coming into our city they want
people all day long, so with a workforce of some
1,500 people we can now talk about how many
people we have who are going somewhere else
to eat,” the mayor said.
Owen also said there will be an ongoing
dialogue with the city’s business people every
second Thursday of each month. On June 13th
he said the group will tour the Port of Houston
and on June 28th Houston Community College
personnel will give a presentation and on Aug.
15, the new Fort Bend ISD Superintendent
Charles Dupre will talk about his “first three
months on the job.”
The mayor also noted that next year the

Niagara Bottling Company,
the second largest private label
bottling company in the United
States and officials with the City
of Missouri City hosted an invita-
tion-only Grand Opening and
Open House at the 356,000 square
foot manufacturing and distribu-
tion center in Missouri City, lo-
cated at 14810 Fairway Pines in
Lakeview Business Park. The
event was held on Friday, July 12,
as Niagara officially “opened for
business” in the “Show Me City.”
The high-stepping Mighty
Eagle Band from Willowridge
High School performed at the
Grand Opening, followed by a rib-
bon-cutting ceremony in front of
the new facility by area dignitaries
and Niagara Bottling Company
representatives.
About 125 people attended
the Grand Opening and Open
House, held under large tents out-
side the facility and were served a
delicious lunch of steak wrapped
in bacon, chicken, sausage, rice,
mashed potatoes and dessert.
Attendees were invited to tour
the plant and see the latest technol-
ogy inside its walls. According to
Niagara officials, the plant has a
capacity to make 1350 water bot-
tles a minute, 81,000 bottles an
hour and 2.3 to 2.5 million bottles
each day.
The company makes its own
water bottles, which are distrib-
uted nationwide under several
brand names and Niagara’s pri-
vate label bottled water.
Mayor Allen Owen stated that
Missouri City is proud to be chosen
as the location for the new state-of-
the art bottling company that has
been in operation for 50 years, with
Missouri City as the location for
the company’s 12th plant.
Mayor Owen also praised
members of Missouri City’s team
responsible for bringing the plant
to the “Show Me City,” including
City Manager Ed Broussard, As-
sistant City Manager Scott Elmer
and Economic Development Coor-
dinator Bob Graf.
“We’re behind you 100 per-
cent,” said Owen, “We had to
compete against different states
and cities to get you here and we
wanted to show you what the
“Show Me City” can do. For many
years Missouri City was a bed-
room community. Your business is
something we’ve wanted for a
long time, and provides a work-
place and jobs for our residents.”
He continued, “I love seeing Mis-
souri City on your water bottles.
When Costco opens its new store
in Sugar Land, it will be selling
Niagara water, so the people in
Sugar Land can drink Missouri
City water.”
Niagara Bottling Company
President Andrew Peykoff the
Second spoke about his father,
who founded the company. “My
father, Andy Peykoff, Senior,
came to the United States from
Macedonia in 1963 when he was
25 years old and settled in Califor-
nia. He began his career as a milk-
man and later became a water
man. After the business got off the
ground, one of his sons went door-
to-door selling water, and the
company has grown from those
humble beginnings.”

city will “have a significant bond
issue on the ballot for necessary
improvements throughout the city.”
He said the bond exploratory com-
mittee made up of residents from
all over the community is deciding
what the bonds will pay for.
“There are now $27 million
authorized in bonds that will be
used for drainage projects city-
wide. The bond issue next year
will build on previous referen-
dums and benefit the city over
the next decade,” he said.
He then thanked Bob Graf,
the economic development director
of Missouri City who got the ball
rolling and who is retiring at the
end of June. “You’ve worked with
half of the people in this room and
the school district, the water dis-
trict, the county. It was your leader-
ship that has directed us and guided
us through all that growth,” Owen
told Graf.
The mayor noted that the
city’s $50 million wastewater and
fresh water treatment plant is up
and running. “This program started
12 years ago and we now have it in
place and it holds 100 million gal-
lons of water. There were 40 differ-
ent partners in this.
“We have so many MUDS
(municipal utility districts) that I
jokingly call Missouri City the
MUD capital of the world but it
took all the MUDs, the county and
FBISD working together” to make
the plan a reality.
He then went on to talk about
mobility and how he will continue
to work to get a commuter rail line
to his town, how the esplanades
along Hwy. 6 may not be liked by
motorists but are necessary for
safety, how much the public likes
the blinking yellow lights that are
turn signals and noted that Missouri
City and Stafford now share a new
and larger animal shelter.
“Our main priority are our cit-
izens and our community partner-
ship,” Owen said.
Missouri City has double digit commercial growth, says Mayor

Missouri City Mayor Allen Owen, (pictured center), along with other area dignitaries and Niagara Bot-tling Co. officials cut the ribbon at the company's new plant in Missouri City.
Andrew Peykoff, Sr., started
bottling high quality, low cost
water in five-gallon glass contain-
ers for home and office delivery.
In the early 1990’s, Niagara
expanded into offering single-
serve private label bottled water
for grocery and convenience
stores, as well as wholesale cus-
tomers with a focus on offering an
unmatched combination of quality,
price, and service.
Throughout the following
decade, Niagara’s significant de-
velopments in vertical integration,
innovative bottle design, and high
speed manufacturing positioned
the company as the industry lead-
ing private label bottled water sup-
plier in the Western United States.
The Niagara family owns and
operates the company, with An-
drew Peykoff II becoming Presi-
dent and CEO in 2002. Since then,
Niagara has established itself as a
national leader in energy saving
techniques at its geographically di-
versified production facilities
throughout the United States.
According to Andrew
Peykoff, Senior, “We produce the
lightest bottles in the world with
the least carbon footprint. We are
proud that Niagara leads the way
in every green initiative including
lightweight bottles, lightweight
bottle caps and with bottles that
weigh one-third of what they did
just a few years ago. We are also
the most energy efficient. We de-
veloped “nested packaging” that
does not include cardboard which
saves 900,000 trees a year. Our
bottles are also 100 percent recy-
clable.” He concluded, “It’s amaz-
ing that less than a year ago this
was a field. The new plant is good
for us and good for this commu-
nity.”

in attendance including Mayor Pro
Tem Jerry Wyatt, and Council
Members Don Smith, Floyd
Emery, and Yolanda Ford, Former

Charles Jessup, Rosenberg Mayor
Vincent Morales, a representative
from Fort Bend ISD, County
Commissioners Grady Prestage
and James Patterson, and repre-
sentatives from the offices of Gov-
ernor Rick Perry and State Senator
Rodney Ellis, among others.
Congressman Al Green
lauded Niagara Bottling Com-
pany’s 50th anniversary celebra-
tion. “America is the greatest
country to live in and we are
proud to have Niagara Bottling
Company locate in Missouri City.”
State Representative Ron
Reynolds said, “You have chosen
the greatest city in the greatest
state in the greatest country to lo-
cate in. It’s also the best County
and this is just the beginning. We
know Niagara will eventually dou-
ble their production, making it
necessary to build more houses for
future employees.”
Fort Bend County Commis-
sioner Grady Prestage also wel-
comed Niagara Bottling Company
to Missouri City. “I want Niagara
to know that Missouri City is the
best city in the State to locate in,”
proclaimed Prestage.
Currently 88 people are em-
ployed at the factory with a target
of 94. The plant features laser
guided vehicles that are the latest
technology in the world. They as-
sist with loading bottles onto
trucks and other duties throughout
the facility.
For its efforts in attracting
Niagara Bottling Company to Mis-
souri City and the City’s commit-
ment to private-public
partnerships, the “Show Me City”
was recognized with the presti-
gious 2012 Community Economic
Development Award from the
Texas Economic Development
Council.

Google announced recentlythat a team of four MBA stu-dents from the C. T. Bauer Col-lege of Business at theUniversity of Houston are theAmericas champions of the2013 Google Online MarketingChallenge.
The team, comprised ofBauer MBA students HeatherNguyen, Jason Ruth, AdamJalfon and James McLellan,competed against 12,000 stu-dents from more than 80 coun-tries to become the AmericasWinner in the challenge, whichallows college students to dis-play their skills in advertising,ecommerce, integrated com-munication, management infor-mation systems, marketing andnew media technologies. Bauerteams have competed in thechallenge for the past fouryears, with the 2011 team tak-ing the global title.“To have a company likeGoogle once again recognizethe strength and aptitude ofthese Bauer MBA students ishumbling,” Dean Latha Ramc-hand said. “We are so proud oftheir achievement and will con-tinue to build curriculum aroundinnovative and evolving as-pects of the business world.”Preparation for the competitionbegan months before the teamsubmitted its final report. Tobegin the process, the Bauerstudents selected a client —the Children’s Museum ofHouston — and analyzed thecompany’s business and mar-keting needs. Then, the team
drafted a pre-campaign report,according to a rubric providedby Google. After submitting thereport online, the team wasgiven an online Google Ad-Words account and $250 fromGoogle for a three-week cam-paign to improve online mar-keting efforts for the museum.“Forester Research forecaststhat spending for U.S. onlinemarketing will be $50 billionthis year. Being able to design,create and execute an onlinemarketing campaign for $250that cuts through that noiseand is judged by Google, in-dustry professionals and aca-demic experts to be the mosteffective in all of North, Southand Central America is a her-culean accomplishment. And,being recognized twice in thepast three years as either thebest in the Americas or thebest in the world for onlinemarketing is reflective of thequality of UH Bauer Collegemarketing students,” said Ex-ecutive Professor Steven Koch,the team’s faculty advisor.The students came together ina course taught by Koch. Inorder to be accepted into theclass, students were inter-viewed and required to com-plete a course in InternetMarketing and Ecommerce.“I highly value my time atBauer because I am gainingmuch more than a graduatedegree,” said Nguyen, presi-dent of the college’s MBA Soci-ety and marketing club. “Wehave opportunities to partici-
pate in challeng-ing projects likethis that can im-pact real busi-nesses. This‘beyond the text-book’ approachand the quality ofthe professors atBauer are majorfactors in ourteam’s success.”
Her team-mate Jason Ruthagreed.
“I decided toobtain an MBA inorder to develop an analyticsapproach to understandingbusiness and providing practi-cal solutions,” he said. “BauerCollege did just that by helpingme expand my horizons andfocusing my business aware-ness. From my first class onunderstanding financial modelsto my classes delving into inter-net marketing and web analyt-ics, the classes at Bauerhelped me develop the skills Ineeded to take an analytic ap-proach as well as to strategizerealistic solutions to real-lifebusiness problems. Theseskills aided me in working withmy teammates to create strate-gies, measure their successesand then adapt the best strat-egy for the client.”“I am very proud to have takenpart in the Google Online Mar-keting Challenge and to repre-sent Bauer College and theUniversity of Houston,” Ruthadded. “I couldn’t have asked
for a better team — weworked together tirelessly tocreate a strategy for our clientand to adapt and improve itas the competition pro-
gressed. And, Professor Kochis a world-class professor.Without his coaching, none ofthis would have been possiblefor our team.”
The team’s campaign,while running, was constantlyevaluated, in real time, byGoogle using 30 performancealgorithms, grouped into fiveconstructs — account structure,optimization techniques, ac-count activity and reporting, andbudget and performance.

When it came time to choose a college,freshman Sarah Nguyen didn’t have any troublepicking the University of Houston.
Nguyen, a Bellaire High School graduate,was awarded a renewable $10,000 scholarshipas part of the Bauer Excellence Initiative, a re-cruiting program that aims to attract qualified ap-plicants.
Nguyen also received the renewable Aca-demic Excellence award from UH, a scholarshipall incoming freshman are considered for.
The scholarships helped Nguyen choose UHover other schools.
“It’s already a good school, and a lot of myfamily is in Houston,” Nguyen said. “The scholar-ship made my decision much easier becausedebt after graduation isn’t an ideal life.”
UH’s diversity was also appealing to Nguyen,who was co-president of an international studentassociation at Bellaire.
When she came back from orientation, shewas excited and knew she had made the rightdecision.Nguyen plans to take her time this semester tofigure out what she wants to focus on academi-cally but hopes to study something related to en-ergy and sustainability.At BHS, she was involved in environment andanimal-rights clubs and “enjoys being innovativeand helping that part of the world,” Nguyen said.
She’s already interested in the Global EnergyManagement track and professional program atthe Bauer College and is considering studyingabroad.
“Whatever field I want to go into, it’s still (goingto be) at Bauer at UH,” Nguyen said. “I just don’twant to go 100 percent in one direction and beheartbroken to find out I don’t like it.”
Although it’s only been one week, Nguyen isenjoying the Bauer and Honors College mentorgroups she’s part of, which also help UH feelsmaller, she said.“Everyday I’m hearing a new ranking,” Nguyensaid. “It’s impressing me.

Gov. Perry Signs Religious
Freedoms Bill
Gov. Rick Perry recently signed House Bill
308, which allows public school students andstaff to use traditional holiday greetings and dis-play religious scenes and symbols on schoolproperty. The governor was joined by bill authorRep. Dwayne Bohac and sponsor Sen. RobertNichols for the signing ceremony.
"I'm proud we are standing up for religiousfreedom in our state," Gov. Perry said. "Freedomof religion doesn't mean freedom from religion,and people of faith often feel like they can't ex-
press that faith publicly. HB 308 works to addressthat by ensuring that people of all faiths are freeto use traditional holiday greetings, and displayreligious scenes and symbols, even on schoolproperty. It ensures freedom of expressionwhere, for many students, teachers and adminis-trators, it's most important."
HB 308 ensures that adherence to one par-ticular religion is not in practice, but rather allowsthe freedom of expression toward religious holi-days to be a part of our schools. By allowingteachers to display various holiday symbols asso-ciated with certain religions, they are able to edu-cate students about the history and roots ofdifferent religions.
"I am proud to have authored the MerryChristmas Bill which allows students, parents,teachers and administrators the freedom to ac-knowledge traditional winter holidays like Christ-mas and Hanukkah in Texas public schoolswithout fear of litigation or punishment," Rep.Bohac said. "When I picked up my 6-year-old,first grader from school and found out school dis-tricts and teachers felt pressured by political cor-rectness to change the way they refer to‘Christmas trees' and Santa and holiday music, Ihad enough. HB 308 protects schools and teach-ers from ridiculous litigation and restores com-mon sense by placing Supreme Court precedentinto Texas Law."
"I have heard from many constituents who dis-like that it is becoming less culturally acceptable toopenly celebrate these holidays in the ways pastgenerations have," Sen. Nichols said. "To me, thisis a matter of helping our teachers and administra-tors feel safe talking about these holidays atschool without fear of legal action being takenagainst them, and of letting our children know thatit's okay to say ‘Merry Christmas.'"
{"I'm proud we are standing up for religious freedom in
our state." -- Gov. Perry

Texas Congressman
Says President’s
Plan is a Mistake‘This is not the way to restore Amer-ica’s credibility’
CONGRESSMAN KEVIN
BRADY (R-TX) released the follow-ing statement regarding the Presi-dent’s call to engage Syria withAmerican military assets:
“I believe this is a mistake. Thecredibility America has lost over thelast few years can’t be restored withtwo days of politically-correct missilestrikes in which the message toAssad appears to be ‘feel free tokeep killing innocent Syrians, justdon’t use poison gas to do it.’
“America’s real national secu-rity interest in the region is protect-ing our friend Israel. WhatPresident Obama has proposed isnot the type of strong, forceful mili-tary action necessary to deterNorth Korea and Iran from devel-oping nuclear weapons. They’ll laugh at this ‘mes-sage’ and continue to build their weapons.
“I’m not going to risk our precious military re-sources on an ineffective, unproductive mission.”

Dear 18th Congressional District Voters,
During our 2012 campaign, you helped us
achieve history on many levels. Because of your
efforts, we received more votes than anyone
ever has against Sheila Jackson Lee. Addition-
ally, your donations and efforts had our cam-
paign named to the Republican National
Congressional Committees’ “Young Gun Pro-
gram”, another first for the 18thDistrict. Out of
the 264 precincts in the district, we received
votes in all but 20 of them, and in 84 of those,
we were less than 200 votes behind.
I want to thank those of you that became
Neighborhood Leaders. Your efforts ensured we
dominated those precincts, with average vote
count above 60%. In addition we won 8 of the 11
precincts we block walked.
I will be entering the race for the 2014 elec-
tion as a Republican Candidate for District 18.
For the past eight months, I have been working
on building relationships in many communities
and building our winning team for the 2014
Campaign. Now I need your help in recruiting
Neighborhood Leaders, area leaders, spreading
the word of our campaign, and fundraising.
Please email [email protected] to
begin your support for Sean Seibert today!
We appreciate and need your support to win.
Thank you in advance for all of your sup-
port and I am looking forward to a great and suc-
cessful election run for 2014.
Your Humble Servant,
Sean SeibertSean Seibert
