 Graffiti is not political expression that is granted under Freedom
 of Speech.
 
 It is much MORE than vandalism!
 
 Yet our CAREER POLITICIANS can't seem to do anything about it!
 
 Graffiti is a "mark that delineates someone's territory."  Who is
 it?  Did they declare candidacy?  Does anyone get to question
 them?  Who voted for this person that "delineates territory?"
 
 In Singapore, they cane criminals for graffiti convictions.
 
 In 621 B.C., Draco of Athens Greece created the first Athenian
 written code of laws;  they included the death penalty for most
 crimes..  including the death penalty to anyone who stole a head
 of lettuce!  The result?  Crime vanished over-night!
 
 JOHN SHULL does not believe we need such draconian measures for
 persons who write graffiti;  HOWEVER, we should raise the
 penalties from one of mere vandalism to a higher penalty.
 
 Should we enforce convictions with public floggings?   Should we
 publicize graffiti convictions?  American citizens want an end to
 the crime, the graffiti, and the associated gang actitivities.
 We can catch them in the act..  and we can prosecute them to the
 fullest extent of the law..  we can strengthen the laws..  we can
 make it "their worst nightmare" -- they do it.. they must accept
 their consequences.

 QUESTION:  So if Mr. Russell lives in the 20th U.S. Congressional
 District..  why does he go to school in the 23rd U.S. Congress-
 ional District?
 
 ANSWER:  Because if he attempts to go to school in the 20th
 district..  he ONLY GETS token education!!
 
 San Antonio is a city that is three times bigger than Austin;
 yet, Austin has a four-year University that is nationally and
 globally reknown.  San Antonio has a TOKEN community colleges and
 minor universities.
 
 San Antonio has recently grown from the ten-largest city in the
 nation to the eight-largest city!  Yet the Spurs are ready to
 leave because we are the poorest major city in the country!
 
 JOHN SHULL believes we should make San Antonio College into a
 four-year university (20TH DISTRICT)!  We are paying the highest
 property taxes in the state!  We are the 8th largest city.. We
 should have a major four-year university and not a token college!
 (Instead of having to drive to nearly the next county for a
 university!)
 
 If we had a major-four-year-university in the 20th district, like
 we should have..  our kids would find something to do instead of
 turning to crime and drugs!  .. our teachers would be better
 educated so that we would have the best schools in the country!
 We could attract and keep jobs!  Jobs! ..and more Jobs!  For
 starters.. consider how much revenue can be gained if we keep
 students in San Antonio instead of sending them out of town!
 
 CAREER POLITICIANS! Stop keeping us dumb!  Stop keeping us down!
 Stop keeping us poor!
 
 Why would they want to keep you down?  Because if they don't..
 you could become another John Shull:  graduated from Johns
 Hopkins, graduated from Harvard Business School, retired
 Colonel and you might challenge them.  FIGHT BACK!
 Put Colonel JOHN SHULL in Congress!
 
 AFTER 35 YEARS -- IT'S TIME FOR POSITIVE CHANGE!
 
 Together!  We can make San Antonio and Bexar County better than
 it is!  ..better than it ever was!
