So much to do, so little time!

Wow, only 20 days left until the Primary! I can't believe how quickly time has passed and how well this has gone for me considering the money I have been able to raise.

I have been working really hard to get my name out and so have all my wonderful friends, family and supporters. I have to say a special "thank you" to Pastor Franklin and Bishop Lyons at the Gospel Missionary Baptist Church on Vermont Avenue. They have given me so much support and I really appreciate it. That goes for you too Roosevelt. Thanks for driving me around and helping me find sign locations. It is going to be a successful campaign and you all are partly the reason. Also, thank you to the law enforcement community. You have done so much to help spread the word and I cannot thank you enough. You may not be able to give a maximum campaign contribution, but the contribution of your good names and contacts is more important than any amount of money could ever be. That also goes for all my volunteers. There are so many of you and I want you to know that it is not lost on me how much easier it is for a rich person to write a check than it is for a hard working one to donate his or her time. Your sacrifices of time and energy show true dedication and friendship. I appreciate it. I know I don't tell you enough how important it is to me that you do this for no other reason than that you know I am the best one for the job and because you love and support me.

Thanks to Jeff, Kyle, Michelle and Jill for all the feedback and help. Thanks to my family in Frankfort who are constantly asking for funds and votes from Louisville contacts. Also, to each of you who are writing and calling your friends and family and asking them to vote for me, thank you for letting me sponge off your good name. I appreciate that you feel comfortable putting it on the line for me.

I will be everywhere this weekend. I have tickets to Oaks, so I will be there enjoying myself, but still campaigning. Everyone listen to 840 AM (WHAS) on Oaks and Derby Day.

I have 5 events to attend tomorrow night. Thanks to Jeff, Kyle and Jill for all the feedback and help. Thanks to Lindsey Scott for getting me into that big event... you know what I am talking about, and to Paul for getting me VIP treatment at the other.

I will be on Broadway and at other events on Saturday. After Derby weekend is over, we are going to kick it in gear. I know, you are thinking, "Allyson, you never sleep and you go anywhere 2 people are gathered". All I can tell you is that you haven't seen anything yet.

I have had several friends tell me that they are tired of seeing my name and face all over town. I am happy to hear that! It means the word is out and we are on the right track.

I made a commercial last week. So, watch for it on TV closer to the Primary. Thanks Jill, Carrie, Joe, Kim, Lindsey, and of course, Babygirl Berkley for being in the commercial!

Finally, I am saving my rantings for the end for once. Part of campaigning is yard signs. I want to say "thank you" to my supporters for being such high class people. You do not steal signs and I appreciate that. As you all know, I have signs that get stolen all the time. We have had to replace signs in some spots 6 or 7 times! It seems that someone out there is so afraid of me and considers me such a threat that he or she believes I will lose this election if my signs are stolen. Whoever you are, just know that for every one you steal, 2 more go up in its place. Please, grow up and get some ethics and integrity. You KNOW this campaign would not stoop to such levels. Why don't you follow our good example and run a clean race? It will show a real strength of character on your part.

I hope you all have a safe, happy and sunny Derby Weekend. Can't wait to see you at the Polls on May 20th!
