The pilot stated that when he applied back pressure to rotate during the takeoff roll on runway 36, the stall warning horn sounded. He lowered the nose and the airplane settled onto the runway. He continued the takeoff roll and when he rotated a second time the stall warning horn sounded again. He realized that the airplane would not fly so he aborted the takeoff. The airplane bounced and the pilot applied brakes to avoid exiting the runway onto the highway that crossed the end of the runway. He stated that he intentionally swerved the airplane, and the airplane exited the runway and collided with a fence. There were four occupants on board the airplane. The pilot reported that the temperature was 88 degrees Fahrenheit, and there was 43 gallons of fuel on board the airplane.
