Sam Dean Ditches his Cool!

A recent look at the the Sam Dean for County Executive website reveals that Sam Dean has ditched the smooth sounds of his campaign song, "Servant of the People," and replaced it with a video of a Sam Dean rally! The video opens up with a version of the Star Spangled Banner and Howard Stone yelling, "SAM DEAN has the experience!" and closes with the Barack Obama/Stevie Wonder "Signed, Sealed, Delivered." Come on Sam, you can be more original than that. You know that song only worked for Barack Obama as a campaign song. How about James Brown's: "Poppa Don't Take No Mess"? Many people thought that the Sam Dean inspired, "Servant of the People" was well . . . corny and bad. Sure, there were some words that didn't rhyme, the singer hit some bad notes, and the production level wasn't top notch, but it was kinda cool and very catchy! We started all of our editorial board meetings with that song, and when things got testy someone would break out into: "Look at the things that he has done . . . as a servant of the people." ... It would always lighten the mood. We all liked the song and miss it terribly! Bring back THE Servant of the People! Please.....

Hard to believe the Dean campaign is serious. "He'll fight for you" only IF you're a developer! I don't see that Dean has any kind of positive vision for the County. Having been saddled with him as a County Council member I'm not ready to see him LEADING the County.

Anonymous was right. Sam Dean's big project, Westphalia, that would have spent millions in county money (eventually) never got off the ground. Sam has never seen a developer he didn't like, court, and a citizen that he ignored. Believe me, I could have frost bite from the cold shoulders Dean has given me.

Well Sam Dean certainly has caught my attention.....
No Slots and No More Builidings and No More Churchs who contribute nothing to the communities accept their pockets.....Fix some streets with all there traffic....PG County is not a dumping ground. We the people have had enough of broken promises, Over Crowding. Bring back the beauty we once admired.. with trees and walking paths....we pay enough in taxes for all these things. What about that Sam Dean
