Mecklenburg County vs. The Stratton Family

Today I filed with The Mecklenburg County Board of Elections to run for an at-large seat on the Mecklenburg County Board of County Commissioners. The Board of County Commissioners is also the oversight Board of Social Services. I am running on the Libertarian ticket.

Should I win, I will be a member of the Board of Social Services. As such I will have complete and unfettered access to all the records and case files of the Mecklenburg DSS / CPS. Need I say more?

Among my opponents running at-large will be incumbent Mecklenburg County Commissioners Parks Helms (D) and Ruth Samuelson (R). There is also a newcomer, Andy Dulin (R), who has already raised $ 65,000 for his campaign. Also running at-large is Lewis Guinard (R), whom I support. Helms and Samuelson are well-connected insider incumbents and obviously Dulin has the funds to mount a substantial campaign. The Republican Primary is obviously going to be tough, with Samuleson, Dulin, and Guinard. Of the three, Guinard is the clear choice but like me is a decided underdog. The reason I am running is to get our children back. This cannot be done through the North Carolina Courts because they have proven to be composed of the exact criminal elements that illegally kidnapped our children in the first place. I have ascertained that the only way to get our children home is to expose the criminal child stealing network, thereby causing it's collapse with the resulting scandal and political pressure forcing the return of our children. Once the lower level criminal elements are exposed, a domino effect will begin and the higher-ups in the operation will sacrifice the lower level individuals to criminal prosecution in order to protect themselves. The attrition of the criminal element will continue to work it's way up the criminal chain of command until our children will have to be returned by the higher-ups in order to halt the process. Therefore, the central theme of my campaign will be proving that the Mecklenburg County Child Slave Trade exists and exposing it's elements to the general public. Expect Charlotte, NC to become one of the hottest spots in the country in the the next six months leading up to the November elections. I intend to turn our local county commission race into a national campaign and I hope to make my Mecklenburg County campaign a prototype for how to use guerrilla tactics to defeat the DSS / CPS agencies across the nation. I am currently building a new website at jackstratton.com. It will be an active website. In addition I hope to fly in Roger Brown as a guest speaker here in Charlotte. As far as I'm concerned, Roger is the top expert in the nation on the government child slave trade operation. In addition to the BOCC campaign, we will launch a multi-pronged defense of our children as well as a multi-pronged attack on those who are holding them hostage. Thanks to those across the nation who are encouraging and supporting us.

Addendum: Within a day of his announcement, Jack Stratton, while addressing the judge about the case of his own family, suffered a heart attack. He remained hospitalized until May 6.
