Good Luck to Rue Furch and Efren Carrillo

!!!VOTE FOR EFREN CARRILLO!!!

Thank God...36 hours to go and one of the nastiest elections in the Fifth District is over.


It's unfortunate the union bosses ($125,000 against Efren) and dark business interests ($55,000 against Rue) hijacked the election from two fine candidates, while stuffing our mailboxes with crap. Of note is neither candidate disavowed the "Independent Expenditure" monies directed at the other. I believe members of each campaign were closely involved with these efforts...there should be laws preventing individuals and organizations from donating $20,000-$120,000 spewing lies and distortions against other candidates.


Whoever wins will not escape my ire with what I feel we need to do working together toward a sustainable future. I believe we are close to a collapse of many of our institutions, and thus far I do not see the courage and resolve needed towards necessary reforms and changes. If I ever run for office again I will probably begin my stump speech with,"...after the collapse this is what we need to do in order to have a phoenix rise from the ashes..." Why is our political discourse so shy and timid to avoid addressing real solutions?


If in my zeal to save the world I have offended any of my friends, please accept my humble apology. If not...c'est la vie...such is life...


Peace and Love to ALL!!
