2:49 PM INVITATION To Those Seeking Election

Below is a text to candidates of which I have had their cell phone number. Some I am having to get their number.

But a invitation for a non-controversial time to some onto RSN and introduce themselves to the employing agency – the registered voters. RSN will not ask any questions other than those the candidate and I have discussed. It is merely a time to introduce themself to the registered voters. RSN is seeking to have these done in March.

Then in April RSN would like a debate. A true debate such as a Presidential Debate. Were questions will be asked, a timer on how long they have to respond and rebuttal.

The first one is just an introduction with no trick or hard questions.

Some office holders. not candidates, as I understand think it is a trick. And it is not a trick. Just a time to introduce themself.

TEXT MESSAGE BELOW THAT HAS BEEN SENT

Good Evening – working to schedule a time for video and audio time for each of you to introduce yourselves to the public. THERE ARE NO TRICKS, just a non controversial time, you and I, just to chat about whatever you want the public to know about you and your platform. If you want 30 minutes, and hour or less than 30 minutes. I would like to do these in March. If interested let me know when.

Then in late April I would like to set up a debate for each office with candidates. There you would be asked questions and each would have time to respond.

Both of these would be recorded and then the video uploaded and audio to a podcast.

If interested let me know when available.

Thank you

Rickey Stokes

NOTE:    Message has gone to others who are running and most have accepted. Some are gunshy that I am going to ask controversial questions. This interview is about each candidate to introduce yourself to the audience.  There will be no curve balls.

Need to know because I want these done in March

10:56 AM Sheriff Phones Are Down – County Commission Changed Phone Systems

HOUSTON COUNTY:     10:56 AM    The non emergency phone lines to the Houston County Sheriff Communications Division are not working.

In the non wisdom of Houston County Commission Chairman Brandon Shoupe and the members of the Houston County Commission they changed telephone system. And the system does not work properly. This has been an ongoing issue.

You can get the Houston County Jail on the phone. On holidays the phone rolls to a recording of the Houston County Courthouse and you can not get the jail. Now, other than dialing 911 you can not dial a non emergency line and get the Sheriff Dispatch.

 

10:44 AM SHE IS STILL IN JAIL – Just Moved From Coffee County Jail

COFFEE COUNTY:    If you check the Coffee County Sheriff APP you will see that Adrienne Reid shows released.

REID IS NOT RELEASED FROM JAIL

Coffee County Sheriff Scott Byrd has confirmed that Reid has been transferred to an undisclosed jail. Reid has not been released and will not be released from jail pending trial.

Reid was the birthing instrument that brought a beautiful child, Genesis into the world. She has been charged with the murder of the precious child.

UNFORTUNATELY, the agency has to use all precautions to protect this defendant. And Reid has been moved to a different jail.

The reason the Coffee County Sheriff APP reflects released is that she is no longer in the Coffee County Jail and the APP only reflects the inmates in the Coffee County Jail.

REID IS NOT RELEASED FROM JAIL
