Murrieta City Council...hmmmm....

Doug McAllister was re-elected and Mr. Randon Lane now takes a council seat. Neither had my vote. Why did I not vote for McAllister? Well, quite frankly do you like what you see in Murrieta right now? Do you see improvements in the way our city looks? Are traffic issues being resolved? Are ALL of Murrieta's residents being represented?

Traffic in this town is a joke. Instead of fixing it they just keep adding to the problem. Have you noticed the lack of beauty in this town? It is despicable. I will be taking photos over the next few weeks of the ugliness in this town and I will post them on her. Murrieta, the gem of the valley? I think not.

I do think there are some character issues that a lot of people in this town fail to see. I will not go into detail, but I have personal issues with Mr. McAllister. I do not personally know him, but I know people who do. Mr. Lane is very closely affiliated with him. I believe they work together and attend the same church. The whole endorsement thing still bothers me. I tried to look beyond, but I think this is also an indication of Lane's character. Did the signs get removed? No. They were there until November 5.

Ulterior motives.

And Finally, My Response...

It has been a long time since I have posted. The election has come and gone with some triumphant victories and some sad disappointments. The election of Barack Obama is quite historic and I was excited to be a part of his campaign. I have a feeling that this one will be different.

Proposition 4 did not pass and I was thankful. I was also happy about Proposition 2, but extremely dissappointed in regards to Proposition 8. That was a sad moment but I am happy to see that people of the gay and lesbian community are being proactive. I hope many people have learned a lot throughout this campaign and it is my hope that I have helped open the eyes and hearts of many to be open and tolerant individuals. I put fliers on cars, I attended the rallies and most of all I talked WITH people. I listened. Listen to their voices and hear their plea.

But if by a "Liberal" they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people -- their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties -- someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is
what they mean by a "Liberal," then I'm proud to say I'm a "Liberal."
