DRUG MONEY

I am writing this letter in support of Sheriff Ron Barker. Sheriff Barker
and his deputies have done a great job at what we elected Barker to do, law
enforcement. Since he took office 12 years ago, his deputies have taken
more than $34 million in drugs and money from drug traffickers in Forsyth
County. They have made more than 2,400 drug arrests. I believe that illegal
drugs are the biggest cause of crime in any city. Sheriff Barker's main
objective has been to dramatically decrease the flow of drugs in Forsyth
County. He has accomplished this, and as a result, violent crimes,
especially robberies, are down in Forsyth County.

I feel safer knowing that we have a sheriff who aggressively fights all
crimes, especially illegal drugs. Let's allow him to continue his fight. On
Sept. 10, let's re-elect Sheriff Ron Barker.
