The democratic party and the republican party do not represent the people..that is to say not all of them

I am of the opinion that the democratic party and the republican party are not representative of all the people. In fact, I believe that they are two gigantic corporations fighting for power.In every town ,in every city, every county, and every state you find these two parties; and in every election they try to sell their platform through television advertising and through every form of media that they can pay for..the candidates for these parties,are sincere in their beliefs but nevertheless perform a function for the political party that they represent. This function is not necessarily for the common good. I truly believe that the electorate needs to have a shift of consciousness..It is time to look in the mirror and reflect on why you are or are not a member of a political party.  Each election candidates come from both parties telling you what you need and how they are going to do it..most of those positions have been brought before the house or the senate for years.  It is very difficult to create change in a dysfunctional government where lobbying creates a lot of roadblocks..I cannot single handily promise anything but I can promise to work hard on issues that concern us all. It is time to look in a different direction . I believe that I can initiate that change. This blog,or my campaign log, goes all the way back to 2012, the first time I became a candidate and sought the ballot.  My views are fairly consistent...but will be up dated for the campaign of 2018.  I love to work hard and love finding solutions to complex problems. I will keep you posted.

Just how precious is your right to vote...continud

George Bernard Shaw once wrote.."Democracy is a device that insures we shall be governed.no better than we deserve." Your right to vote is paramount in that result. So why aren 't you voting?There is an side here..in the past, I have written about the fact that the election law in New York state are  bias to democrats and republicans.I do not think it fair the the number of signatures for those two parties are so much less than those needed by an independent 1250/3500..I can complain, ,but it is the law nevertheless. I would like to see it changed to a fair playing field..not only the amount of signatures and also the period in which these signatures are obtained, Furthermore, I would advocate for a national election law that is fair for everyone; included in that law would be an insurance that there would adequate ballot boxes at every polling place, a policy that provided a way in which any member of the electorate would have the right to vote I do not like any of the candidates. The two party system has dominated the electorate..they do not represent the people IF they did fifty five percent of the electorate would not call themselves independent.  In the 19th Congressional District of New York there are a vast number of independents well over 110,000; I sincerely hope you will support this independent to make the ballot for this election cycle.  Good luck to all the candidates in the democratic primary the 26th of June and good luck to any of the other candidates who are seeking the ballot.  YOUR VOTE MEANS SOMETHING; YOU SHOULD EXERCISE IT!

once again iam seeking the ballot to represent the 19th congressional district

this is the fourth time i am seeking the ballot as an independent.  I am very happy to say that there are so many candidates running this election cycle. let me begin this campaign by asking you a question..HOW PRECIOUS IS YOUR RIGHT TO VOTE? remember last time..people were protesting in the streets because Mrs. Clinton lost the election..she won the popular vote but lost the election in the electoral college..a check put in the Constitution by the founding fathers.  Let us get down to it..how many of you actually voted..there is the answer..not a very high percentage compared to other democracies like India where eighty percent of the people vote.  You know the saying if you do not vote you do not have the right to complain..In Australia, if you do not vote ..you get a fine..it is not much but a penalty nevertheless..what is going on here..the Supreme Court in a 5 to 4 decision sided with the state of Ohio that if a voter failed to vote in awhile that their name could be temporarily removed from the voter registration list..I have simplified the outcome to make a point.. how precious is your right to vote?  You must admit that should be ample reason to vote..use it or lose it. Of course , we  ALL REALIZE THAT THIS IS AN EFFORT TO SUPPRESS THE VOTE NOT JUST OF MINORITIES BUT YOU AND I..Of course there have been other methods used to limit the ability to vote.  Let us all think twice and vote; because somewhere down the line you might actually lose it.  WE NEED TO CHALLENGE VOTER SUPPRESSION AND VOTE! I will discuss this further.
