Announcing My Candidacy for State Representative 2010

I am officially announcing my Candidacy for State Representative in Detroit's 6th District. I am very excited about my campaign this year and I pray that I can build enough momentum and gain enough support to win in August! Things are really BAD in our city, and all over our state. I know that I can make a positive difference if elected. We keep on recycling candidates and rewarding failure and my question is, "What more do we have to lose"? Let's elect fresh faces & new ideas this year. Name recognition & the current way we determine if a candidate is qualified is one of the factors that has gotten us to where we are today...NOWHERE, fast! The Degrees, (so called) experience & whatever else these elected officials in Detroit have had has only brought us heartache; Where are the intangibles? Where is the PASSION? Where is the LOVE? I've have those, and I offer myself as a servant to the NEEDS of the people if you will elect me August 3, 2010.

Please check back to my Blog often. I will share more of my views and ideas in the coming days...

Ordinary people can do extraordinary things; STAND UP!

We really need a change in Detroit politics and it needs to start with a complete overhaul, and the electing of more ordinary citizens into political office. That was the idea behind Term Limits, and I believe it was a good idea meant to stimulate the involvement of citizens as officeholders, but it has never been achieved. We have career officeholders, recycled candidates moving from office to office, and name recognition candidates that depend on such things as another family members' political reputation (or myth) to get elected. This trend is killing Detroit, and our entire state.

We continually vote for, and are getting stuck with arrogant, complacent and in the case of the Mayor, and City Council, down right "Looney Toon" elected officials. We need real people, concerned people, honest people to be an example to other ordinary citizens to stand up! We can make change, together...not just hope, or wait for it!
