		<description>Mr. Bryan,

Congratulations on your decision to run for Jacksonville City Council.

I&#039;m 31, so you&#039;re indeed &quot;young&quot;...And certainly younger than any other candidate for City Council. 

The results from a quick Google finds that you are the only candidate with a blog/website, though  Council-member Sullivan has &lt;a href=&quot;http://twitter.com/foundum31&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Twitter&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1444402267&amp;ref=ts&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Facebook&lt;/a&gt; accounts. I couldn&#039;t find any online presence for the other candidates.

I hope that you do keep your campaign and blog going strong. I&#039;m quite interested in what your platform and campaign plan will be.

Congratulations and good luck.</description>

		<description>Thanks for saying I&#039;m young!  I suppose it&#039;s all relative.  Any birthday that ends with a &#039;0&#039; makes you feel old---I felt that way at 10 (though I was happier then about being older).  We&#039;re celebrating a birthday in the office today too, the secretary is turning 21.  So just as I was feeling ancient at 30, you come and show me some perspective---thanks!

One element of the &#039;youthful perspective&#039; you mention may be the fact that I have a campaign blog.  votejamesbryan.com

The blog is sparse for now.  I want to post throughout the campaign, and I&#039;m a bit worried about a strong start only to fizzle out later (as is so common with blogs).</description>
