Disappointing Voter Turnout

The Democratic primary for Congressman of 19th District was decided on June 26th.  Julian Schreibman won over Joel Tyner and I wish to congratulate them both for running such outstanding campaigns.  However, the most disappointing aspect of the election was the voter turnout.  Approximately 10% of the 130,000 registered Democrats in the district showed up at the polls.  Change can only happen in a democracy if citizens participate. Each person's voice must be heard through their vote.

Beginning July 10th I will begin petitioning to add my name to the 19th Congressional District ballot as an independent.  I will be campaigning on the principle that government MUST have a conscience and that political parties DO NOT represent the people.

I ask all registered voters who live in the district and have not signed any other petition for congress to please sign mine.

I will be in Woodstock the weekend of July 14th and 15th to discuss my views and platform for the coming general election.

I look forward to meeting you.

What Should Americans Ask Themselves?

I  believe we have to ask ourselves as individuals what we want for the future of america and what contributions we can make as global citizens.to the world.whatever our cultural differences we all have to live  on this planet earth and we must sustain it. Government has to have conscience..and so do WE.Our environment  is precious and we must preserve it at all costs.
