[Anderson County Tennessee] New comment on -- Updated -- Mitt Romney and Ham Radio.

Anderson County ARES has left a new comment on the post "-- Updated -- Mitt Romney and Ham Radio":

Hello John,

Thanks for the comment, I am not to much for putting political stuff on our blog but this is / was something that cut me to the bone. As an assitant EC for Anderson County but I am also a local Volunteer Fire Fighter with Andersonville VFD.

We are a poor department by most standards but we have to maintain the same standards as a paid professtional department does. But as a ham I think we sometimes meet or exceed the communications capablities that we have avaliable to us in the fire service or police service.

It is the people like him that set us up for faliure as a nation when something goes wrong by not using the people how can help and be independent of the main system.

But this may a non-issue now that he has withdrawn from the race.

73, Moe N4CQW
