On the Issues

What is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?

Voter apathy. The neglectful inaction of those who, year after year, forfeit the opportunity to exert their moral influence at the ballot box. Many have become accustomed to taking cues directly from the party bosses, the money people, the media, the political lobbyists and the special-interest groups. Others have been gulled into believing that their Christian voice has no place in politics, and so they simply sit on the sidelines and rarely (if ever) bother to show up at the polls. Such negligence has led to the effectual suppression our basic human rights, under the mechanism of bogus legislative enactments.

Why should voters elect you?

We must return to an understanding of justice that recognizes the equity of all persons before the law, reasserting equal and exact justice for all.
