I just received my first "Ed Shadid for Mayor" rhetoric mailing today. I was thinking about setting it on fire in my back yard, videoing it, posting it to youtube and then posting it on his twitter and facebook pages. Thoughts?

Not sure what you'd be proving there.
I do, as a matter of fact... I do.
This mailing is rich. Saying no to special interest? What does he think the police and fire unions are?
Extra special interests.

When is the earliest I can vote for this? I will likely be out of the country by the time March 4th rolls around.
Aren't public safety and fire suppression everyone's special interest. Ed's mailer seems spot on to me.
Come to think of it the unions have nothing to do with making music.
I'm a member of the local AFM 375 and the union has done nothing to
create music. Not a darn thing.
Interesting interview with Ed: A chat with mayoral candidate Dr. Ed Shadid (Part 2) | Red Dirt Report
More false "facts". More criticism without a plan.
And the statement below is WAAAY out there in left field. No understanding of what this city was like pre-MAPS, no acknowledgement of all the hard work that has preceded him, no understanding of what companies are looking for, no interest or willingness to pull a community together to make things even better.
************
Asked what the city needs to do to “alleviate the fears” that these outside companies have about Oklahoma City and Shadid smiled and said, “We win the election.”
“As soon as we win, the Chamber takes it to these companies and says, ‘Look who we just elected mayor. We are a ‘Big League City.’ We know the legislature is a one-party state legislature, but Oklahoma City is different. And this guy, his whole platform, a big part of his platform, is celebrating diversity and inclusion. That’s who we elected as mayor."
I had to go back and re-read the article, because it seemed like you were cherry-picking and parsing.
Nope. You weren't.
He's saying if we elect him as mayor, businesses will flock to OKC (him) because they were previously afraid of a Republican-controlled state government.
Hmmmm.
Lots in that interview that I find hard to swallow.
He needs to stop giving interviews while drunk and/or high. Or maybe give more of them like that, I cannot decide.
Can he please name what businesses have not come to OKC because of Mayor Cornett. I'll hang up and listen.
Reads to me Ed is just being the adult in the room and asking the obvious questions. Ok does have a tolerance for diversity issue that has caused OKC to be passed over in the past. A Mayor Ed would help in this regard imo.
