  A Season to Begin Working Together By Senator Shane Massey web posted November 27, 2007 GUEST COLUMN – We are so behind on our Christmas shopping. As you know, my wife, Blair, and I have been pretty busy since July. Three elections and a whirlwind of activity since has been the order of the day. We haven’t had much time for anything else. And I love every minute of it. However, I can’t let another day pass without thanking you. I want you to know that I am humbled and honored that you selected me to be your S.C. Senator. When the Legislative session begins in January, I’ll proudly represent you, pledging that I’ll give you 100% determination and hard work. But I won’t forget that I’m in this seat because you put me here. Elected representatives would do well to remember that we are in these seats temporarily. This Christmas Season also reminds us that we’re on this earth temporarily as well. It brings me comfort to know that our heavenly home awaits. But until then, I believe we have a duty – a God-given responsibility – to bring good, responsible government to all people. The past four months are just the beginning. Now, we get down to governing. And that critical work begins with you. In the coming months, I’ll announce a series of meetings and other initiatives throughout the Senate 25 District to draw on your experience, knowledge and creativity. I want to hear your concerns and ideas in person whenever I can. However, I’m always available by phone (803-480-0419), and I’ll read and respond to your e-mails (ShaneMassey@scsenate.org) and letters (P.O. Box 551, Edgefield, SC 29824). For those of you who are web-savvy, I will be re-launching my campaign website at www.senatormassey.com within the week. I will update you with weekly blog entries, videos, and news from Columbia where I’ll be working hard to represent you. We all know that we can’t agree on everything. That’s human nature. But I assure you that I want to defend our families, restore accountability in government, and strengthen our economy so we can move our state forward. There are different paths to get us to that goal, but together we can find the best path – even if it shakes things up. This time of year, I’m sure you’re not thinking much about the election process or even what laws will get passed next year. This is the season for family and friends. This is time of year we can all enjoy the cooler weather and weather the crowded stores. So, from our family to yours, Blair and I wish you the happiest of holiday seasons, and we pray for a blessed and prosperous New Year for us all. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have some shopping to do. ©
