"Since the election of 2005, we feel that poor town management and ineffective leadership as demonstrated by the current Mayor and Town Council has created numerous problems and burdens for the residents of Carolina Beach."

"Furthermore, we do not believe that either Mr. Gilbert or Mr. Macon has the ability to solve the town's problems and relieve the burdens caused by the current Town Council. Both of these candidates are currently serving on the Town Council, and we believe that if either one is elected to the office of Mayor in November, then the problems and burdens will continue for the next 2 years."

"Therefore, we think that the voters of Carolina Beach deserve to have a third candidate, who has has a proven track record for solving the problems and relieving burdens caused by the current Town Council. After discussing the situation, we decided to ask Former Mayor Ray Rothrock if he would serve again as our next Mayor, provided he could win the election as a write-in candidate. Ray Rothrock solved similar problems 10 years ago, and we feel that he can do it again now. We sincerely hope that the residents of Carolina Beach will do the right thing in November and write-in Ray Rothrock for Mayor."
