Imagine the political process with class..



Growing up, the phrase “manners maketh man” was the cornerstone of how we interacted with people; even those we disliked.

As we enter this early political season of presidential candidates, I have certain hopes, wishes, and dreams for the immediate future.

·         Imagine all candidates actually talked about what they can do to improve things rather than why the other person sucks…

·         Imagine all candidates talked about issues that matter to the masses rather than annoying red herring and distractions…

·         Imagine all candidates actually campaigned with viable solutions rather than platitudes…

·         Imagine all candidates stopped labeling themselves (and their opponents), just to score political points…

·         Imagine civil debates, where manners were observed, Roberts’s Rules of Order were actually followed, and the concern about the country was real…

·         Imagine if some of the billions of dollars that will be raised (to get elected for a job that pays $400K) gets givens back to communities that need it…

This is a pipe dream for now, but nevertheless I continue to dream.

I always vote, I truly believe it is my civic duty, and I hope one day to vote in election that was memorable for its civility, and contribution the greater good of this country.
