Want to know the truth, American doesn’t want good people in government. This is why there are no GOOD candidates because we won’t vote them. I’m proving my point now:
I will run on platform to control spending, building prison space for criminals, stop corporate welfare though overpaying for services, get SERVICE back in public service, and with my background from the military, a union worker, a small business person, a charity operator, a dad, husband, and a heck of a community oriented person…
I will lose.
To a tax and spend incumbent that awards over priced contracts to corporations because she feels like it, that has allowed our prison to become overcrowded (resulting in outsourcing housing facilities and tax dollars to other prisons, and early releases which resulted in an abnormally high local repeat crime rate), while spending a 1/2 million on curtains, another 1/2 million so she and her buddies have nice chairs in their redone council chambers, that has risen taxes about 75% over the last 8 year, blah, blah, blah.
I will still lose.
Because voters don’t care, they look at the party that is there on their voter card and vote straight ticket, or don’t vote at all.
Not whining, or B(l)UBBER’ing, I know this is the current situation. With time, and hard work, I can try to educate people who I am, and how I want good people for good government, working hard for the good of the people. Challenging, yes, impossible, only if everyone gives up, and I have not yet. Ask me in November though.
