"Marion County is now under siege by the Gestapo, and the Fuhrer is the leader of the Republican Party," said Weesner, referring to Harris. "All I can tell you is the community is missing out on the wonderful plans I had in store for all of us."

Losing Democrat candidate calls Republicans "GESTAPO", Party Leader "FUHRER".
Marion County, Florida
Democrat Darlene Weesner, who lost her bid for county commissioner on Tuesday, said "Republican-controlled" gated retirement communities didn't allow her inside to get her message to them.
"Marion County is now under siege by the Gestapo, and the Fuhrer is the leader of the Republican Party," said Weesner, referring to Harris. "All I can tell you is the community is missing out on the wonderful plans I had in store for all of us."
Note: Commissioner Harris is the local GOP Party Chairman and designer on the Florida "Choose Life" license plate.
The local Liberal, Controlled Press, New York times owned "STAR BLUNDER" supported Weesner, an advocate of the radical U.N. environmental Agenda 21, that eliminates freedom and property rights.
There is one name in Marion County that has consistently surfaced when it comes to understanding growth, its impact and how to better rein it in.
That name is Darlene Weesner, 67, artist, educator, author and, most notably, an unyielding advocate of smart growth who is the Democratic candidate for Marion County Commission District 2. . . . . .
The bottom line, though, is not campaign spending. It is that Weesner has not only talked the talk but walked the walk. She has lived in Marion County for 40 years and been active in lobbying public officials to protect our community against reckless development that can threaten our water supplies or beautiful countryside.
If voters haven't heard opponents refer to Weesner as a "tree hugger," they haven't been out and about. Indeed, she is very devoted to protecting the environment. As she explained, "The environment supports everything else."
Weesner is well educated and holds a master's degree in supervision/administration from Rollins College. She has been involved in countless local programs and events designed to help residents become more familiar with their surroundings in Marion County. She was the driving force behind the formation of SHASTA, the Shady Historical and Scenic Trails Association. And she was a visible proponent of the scenic roads ordinance. She has made two previous bids for this office, once in 1986 and in 1990 as a write-in candidate.
Weesner told us she has a vision of unity - unity among commissioners and Marion County residents. She understands growth cannot and should not be stopped. But she believes there's a better way to direct growth to more suitable areas. She also believes the county has a right to expect consistent, well-conceived standards. . . . .
We urge voters to put Weesner to work on Nov. 5 - officially.
