Yesterday I heard another disheartening story about someone running for local office and turning down a FREE opportunity to promote thyself and their campaign.
I get guff from my Lib friends that I listen to too much right wing radio/podcasts. I enjoy them because their ridiculous claims make me laugh my ass off. But sometimes I learn something new, like how these knuckle draggers think.
I recently suggested this book to someone running for a seat in the upcoming city election. You have to sometimes walk over a line and look at the person on the opposite side of your thinking. You may learn something about yourself while educating those around you about who you are.
The city election is non-partisan. Let’s work to keep it that way. There are no left/right, rich/poor ideas, there is just common sense.
So if someone asks you to be a guest to talk about your campaign, don’t check their party registration, check their values, and check yours. Silence speaks volumes, remember that.
‘I don’t know if the city is corrupt, they don’t tell us anything.’
And that is the crux of our problems, not party affiliation.
