ALCOFFEE mail listers, I would like to apologize to you for making this reply across this genealogy mailing list. Mr. Pitts or representative of him, you should have known better. I might would have voted for Mr. Pitts, but now I know that I definitely will not. Anyone who stoops low enough to subscribe to a county genealogy list just to campaign across it, and then unsubscribes once he has campaigned across it, is not worthy of my vote, as far as I am concerned. I can read the Montgomery Paper to know about such things. I joined this list for genealogy research only. ALCOFFEE mail listers, again, I apologize for replying across list. Happy holidays, all. Phyllis J. K. Owens I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands ONE Nation under God indivisible with Liberty and Justice for ALL.....May God continue to Bless America and all good people..... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Pitts 2002" <reply@pittsanewdemocrat.com> To: <alcoffee-d-request@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, December 11, 2001 9:58 PM Subject: CP > > > Former Siegeman aide Chris Pitts Running for Secretary of State > > By Phillip Rawls > The Associated Press > 12/11/02 > > MONTGOMERY, Ala.
