a VERY important annoucement

update

Turned in all the paper work to make it official this week. Sent out over 1,000 emails across the country and then some. I have to say, I can not do this or have any chance of success without help. I will be asking for that help in the coming weeks and months.
 
Update

Well, first off I have not fallen off the face of the earth. Been really busy. I have been talking to code and fire officials from all over the country and I'm hearing the same loud and clear messages. I've been on the phone so much that I think my left ear is going to fall off!

My position paper is just about done and I will be shooting a short video on June 21st that will be posted on you tube. The video will go along with the position paper and I will post both on this site. jar has told me that he will allow me to have a dedicated area on this site for the election and questions that some may want to ask. I will get with him as soon as the video is ready for prime time. fatboy and rjj have agreed to help me manage the dedicated area. So a big thank you to them. I have been pledged support by a few chapters and possibly by one ICC region but cannot release which ones until I have their letters in hand. Shortly after the video and site setup I will post information for anybody or any organization that would like to support me financially. I will post some ground rules for donations as I need to be very, very careful in this regard and just as important be held accountable for all expenditures.

I did send out a mass emailing last month to every ICC chapter and their board of directors requesting support. The email also contained my resume and letters of support to date. Not all of the emails went through and I'm sure that some were also trashed by the spam filters. So if you know of any additional people or organizations that I could send information to please contact me. My email address is: jimATci.gillette.wy.us

Please replace AT with the @ sign.

To my good neighbors to the east in South Dakota I will be attending your summer meeting at Cedar Shores next month with hat in hand asking for the support of the (SDBOA) South Dakota Building Officials Association. So far all of this has been my time and my dime. So I would like to thank the SDBOA Board of Directors for waiving the registration fees for me and my wife to attend the 2 day conference!!!

Well, that's just a short update with more to come.

One final thought:

To quote Sam Elliott from the movie Conagher: "you boys saddled this bronc. Let's see if you can ride it"?
