APOLOGY....from Candidate Wayland

To those who read my previous Email and Denis Bilodeau,

I would like to apologize to Denis for the insinuations that I made earlier. Unfortunately some very rude and demeaning untrue statements were made concerning my family and myself.

They were mistakenly attributed to Mr. Bilodeau, by a source I no longer consider very credible or trustworthy. (WHO, was the source!)

I made a mistake, and I apologize to Denis and anyone else who read the email.

After speaking with Denis, he is a very honest and straightforward individual. It is truly an honor to run against him in this election. I have a newfound respect for him and his career in public service. I wish him the best in the rest of this campaign, and I look forward to a clean and well-fought campaign on the issues only.

I appreciate you posting the apology to Denis. I made a mistake and when I talked to him, I apologized to him already. I am big enough to admit when I make a mistake.

Unfortunately, when a few things got personal about family, I took it the wrong way and attributed it to the wrong source from some very bad advice.

You have my utmost assurances, that any and all defending of Carol ends now. For the rest of the election, I will do my best to make it right.


Sincerely,
Jermey Wayland

Well,

I must admit it does take a true statesman to realize when a "wrong" has been committed and to stand up and take responsiblity. Mr. Wayland, I will hope realizes by now that his association with Carol "the beach bunny" Rudat, harmed him every day. Wayland, states he recieved bad information from a "person he no longer considers credible". Wayland then goes on to say that his defending of Rudat ends now! I am going to put 2 and 2 together and assume that his previous informant is Carol Rudat. I wonder if Jeremy met with her in Newport Beach or Orange, or if he has any information to her true residency location.

Good luck to you Mr. Wayland and I hope that you have seen, what Carol Rudat and her political agenda have created in the City of Orange, and she isn't even elected yet. Image if she should win!

Dear Chinagirlorange,

I am Jeremy's mom. This is my first time blogging, so please bear with me.

I want to clear up one thing now that the election is over. Jeremy's dad and myself are very proud of our son. He ran a fair campaign and wanted only the best for the citizens of Orange.

I have read all the blogs about Jeremy and how he was the carpetbagger for Carol Rudat. I guess I am naive about politics and smear campaigns. Dave Rudat has been a fellow co-worker and friend of my husband for many years. As a fire family, our children grew up together. It seemed only natural that we would show support to friends in our fire family. We also would have signed Mark Murphy's register if he would have asked. He is also a friend of the family. I am the type of person that signs every petition out there, just to get it on the ballot. When it comes to the voting, only God and myself knows where I am voting.

At the time, my husband and I did not know that Jeremy was going to run for city council. I am sorry that signing Carol's register caused Jeremy so much grief from bloggers and smear campaigns. We were just supporting old friends.

When Jeremy entered this campaign, our only words of advice was to run a good campaign and to speak well of others. When Jeremy spoke in defense of Carol Rudat and that the voters should look at the positive qualities of a canidate instead of smearing others, it was assumed that he was in her camp. He was just showing the respect that was taught to show others.

I am very proud of Jeremy. He did his best to run a fair and honest campaign. His only interest was to serve the city that he loves so much.

As I think about this election, I ask myself why anyone would want to put themselves forward into the limelight with all the negative remarks and lies that people carelessly throw out as truth. Will it get to the point in time that honest men or women will not want to venture into politics because of cruel, untruths? I pray not. Personally, I wish there were more honest people in all areas of politics. I find myself voting in some elections for the canidate that is the lesser of two evils.

In conclusion, I know that Jeremy did his best in this campaign. I know that he really means it when he wishes the best to the winners of this election. It is just a crying shame that this election was so full of negative flyers, comments and blogs. But we are very fortunate that we live in a country that we are free to speak without fear. Sometimes it would just be nice if people had their facts straight!

A proud mom!
Kathy Wayland
