We believe in government for the People and by the people. We should keep in mind that local government should be in the hands of the people and away from professional politicians.

All municipal campaigns should be run on the basis of character and morality. Campaigns should be free from racial prejudice; they should always be color blind and accessible to all. Think of it this way. This country is like a big house of many colors, and we all reside in it. “A house divided against itself cannot stand (Abraham Lincoln).” I ask of you for unity so we can experience responsible growth and integration.

Let us become role models for our children, so that they in turn can inherit a better place to live than the one we did from our parents. Let us give our children good and practical after school programs with activities that will channel their energy productively and with a purpose.

Thank You
