Now its my turn...

On june 28th democrats and republicans will have their individual closed primaries.  Their opportunity to petition the ballot  began in march and closed in april. those candidates needed 1250 signatures to participate according to state election law.  I have attended two debates for the democrats and listened closely to republican debate on capitol tonight on cable. It is june and my turn has finally come. I have petitioning since my first day the 21st of june.  I look forward to meeting more of you this election cycle.  Over the past two election cycles I have personally spoken to more than 5000 people in the district.My magic number to make the ballot is a minimum of 3500  valid signatures; it is a lot of work and I assure you that it is not easy. I think the message is  important.. Because i did not make the ballot in either of the two previous election cycles I ran as a write-in ;to no ones surprise I did not win but proudly received a number of votes each time.  The behavior of the electorate has illustrated a pattern that has not changed our nation s government in Washington. Same old story..same old result. While I do not pretend to your knight in shining armor and the savior of our republic; I will declare that there must be a new chapter in American politics. The 2016 election cycle has been very exciting..whether or not you like a bernie sanders or a donald trump both have come out and said the electoral system is not fair it is corrupt and rigged.  I do not believe that we can prove it but we can at least acknowledge it. It is no different than any other system.  Unfortunately, we have tried to export it in Iraq and Afghanistan and we have been seeing the results with the sacrifices of our servicemen and women along with NATO forces. I love my country..the system is not working for our families.  We need solutions not a political stalemate.  We can justifiably  point our collective fingers at the two party system that does not represent the people.  It  is time for a new chapter in American politics; it is time for the electorate to wake up and have a shift of consciousness...try something else..there is no reason not too! I have been quietly voicing that. position. Quite frankly I want everyone in the district to vote for me come this tuesday november 8th 2016.  Tell washington enough is enough..the new chapter begins NOW! But first, I need your support  on my petition.  Please sign my petition between June 21st and july 26th to make sure that your voice is heard in washington ..for years to come..I believe in my message..I promise to be an outspoken advocate for you not a political party.  SIGN THE PETITION and thank you to all those people who have already signed.
