Welcome to the Common Courtesy Corner.
This is my first blog, and I was just recently introduced to the world of the blogger about a month ago. I have always been taught that in order to learn you just gotta get out there so here goes.
My name is Matthew Jones. I am 28 years old, have two children, and will have been married 5 years on July, 13th 2007. The rest you can get from the profile if you choose to spend that kind of time with me today. I made the decision about 6 months ago that my local government was in dire need of a makeover and that makeover needed to come in the form of newly elected, energetic, passionate, dedicated, and caring people whom have not forgotten how important honesty and integrity are when it comes to making decisions on behalf of the hard working people that make it to the poles to vote for them. I am currently running a campaign to become the next county commissioner for the 6th district of Knox County which includes the Powell and Karns areas. Why me? Because I have children growing up in these communities, in this county, and I want to be the one making the decisions that will effect them. My children, and all the young people of Knox County are my motivation, and I believe that it is time for us to put our focus back on their needs. I want to hear from the people of the 6th district. I want to know what you want from your government, and then I want to make it happen. I have lived in the 6th district for about 6 years now and these communities are like no others in Knox County. Karns and Powell still have that unique smalltown feel that assures you that you are home, and I want to preserve that. I have heard for a long time that " we need just hard working regular guys/girls in office" I want the chance to serve my family, my community, and my county as a common man. I don't have some fix it all plan that is going to shock the world, but I will provide a steadfast, honest, dedicated, and common sense voice for the people of the 6th district of Knox County. Thank you for taking to time to read my first and extremely too long blog post
Sincerely,
Matthew Jones

This was a good day
I am running a campaign to become the next county commissioner for the 6th district of Knox County which is the Powell and Karns area as well as Hardin Valley, Solway, and Dante communities. This is a place for me to express my concerns, hopefully hear the concerns of the people of Knox County, and basically vent and inform the public about campaigning in Knox County.

WORDS OF TRUTH
"Everywhere you go, you take yourself. Never forget: your attitude is everything. And with all that there is to life, don't leave your happiness to destiny; for your lack of effort and ignorance will only result in a hollow, joyless life"
