What REALLY Are the Issues?
So what are the “issues” in this election? Actually, that’s not for me, or any other candidate, to decide. I am not going to bring you a list of self-serving ‘issues’ and then use these ‘issues’ to create talking points and propaganda to put myself in some favorable light.
So if I’m not going to deliver a plateful of fabricated issues, what are you going to get by voting for me? It’s simple: A voice. Your voice. An ear. My ear to hear your voice. The ‘issues’ will be decided by you, the voters. As an elected representative of this community, my purpose will be to listen to what you have to say, listen to what other stakeholders have to say, and weigh those opinions and concerns along with all of the other facts as items come before the school board.
Don’t let someone tell you what the issues are. That’s backward. Constituents and stakeholders are supposed to tell representatives what the issues are, not the other way around. I won’t tell you what you want to hear. Rather, I will tell the other board members what you have to say.
I thank you in advance for your vote on June 7th so that I can represent your voice. It’s about ALL the kids and about ALL those that have their best interests at heart.
Tell Your Friends
Website subscribers, Facebook Friends, and Twitter Followers — let your friends, neighbors, and anyone else with a stake in Romoland School District know about our meeting in the park this Wednesday. The link below is to a printable PDF, or you can just share this post. The more, the merrier, and the better the conversation.
Memorial Day
Today we acknowledge that the ONLY reason things like representative government and free speech exist is because others were willing to die for these ideals, to die for the opportunity to protect these ideals for all of us, even those that take them for granted or outright disrespect them at times.
As the daughter of a retired Marine Corps Captain (Mustang) and the wife of an eight-year Navy veteran, both with service-related disabilities, I thank God every day that they are still here to say “thank you for your service.” But today is a day set aside to specifically remember those that did not come home, that are not here to express a “thank you” to. They made the sacrifice that every Soldier, Sailor, Airman, and Marine acknowledge when they sign-on.
As we acknowledge this day of memorials, perhaps we can make a commitment to setting aside a moment EVERY day to remember why the freedoms we often take for granted actually exist.
