America is the greatest country in the world. This is true, not because of her economic influence, her
military might, scientific accomplishments, and so on. America's greatness is due to her Godly heritage.
The Declaration of Independence states: "We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are
created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights." The pledge of
allegiance states, in part, “…one nation under God with liberty and justice for all." Concomitant with
"rights" comes responsibility. Adult citizens have the privilege and responsibility to register to vote,
become informed, and to vote prayerfully.
Remember that in most countries of the world, countrymen have absolutely no opportunity to impact the
decisions of those who rule over them. For many their country of origin or ancestral origin is so corrupt,
that a common citizen such as you and me, to voice one's position is to place one's life in harms way. This
is neither the case in America nor in California.
Discouragement, pessimism, distrust, and defeat are pervasive among the potentially voting public. These
are the most common responses I encounter among the disengaged and the disenfranchised. To you, I
make the plea; don't give up on your government. Don't give up on your fellow man. Don't give up on
yourself. To give up on your government is to give up on yourselves. It is your government, for better or
worse, so make it work!
The Declaration of Independence continues, "That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted
among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed." It is our government so lets
make it responsive to us. Cesar Chávez said, "Sí se puede." MoveOn's 50 Ways to Love Your Country
suggests a novel way to force an elected person to address important issues is to be the opposing
candidate in an upcoming election. Are you willing to support a good candidate? Are you ready to be a
candidate who runs against a bad candidate?
A number of years ago, Eldridge Cleaver said, “If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the
problem.”

Statement from our Candidate
promesa de lealtad (pledge of allegiance) dice en parte," una nación bajo Dios con la libertad y la justicia
para todos." Concomitante con los "derechos" viene la responsabilidad. Los ciudadanos adultos tienen el
privilegio y la responsabilidad de registrarse para votar, de mantenerse informados, y de votar
devotamente.
Recuerde que en la mayoría de los países del mundo, la gente no tiene oportunidad de afectar las
decisiones de los gobernantes. Para muchos su país de origen, o de origen ancestral, es tan corrupto
que para que un ciudadano común como usted y yo pueda expresar su posición pone su vida en peligro.
Esto no es el caso ni en los Estados Unidos ni en California.
El desanimo, el pesimismo, la desconfianza, y la derrota son penetrantes entre el público potencialmente
electoral. Estas son las respuestas más comunes que yo he encontrado entre los defraudados y los
privados del derecho de votación. A usted, le suplico, no de por vencido a su gobierno. No dé por
vencido a su prójimo. No se dé por vencido usted mismo. El dar por vencido a su gobierno es darse por
vencido usted mismo. ¡Es su gobierno, sea como sea, así que hágalo trabajar!
La Declaración de la Independencia continúa: "para garantizar estos derechos se instituyen entre los
hombres los gobiernos, que derivan sus poderes legítimos del consentimiento de los gobernados." Es
nuestro gobierno, por tanto hagámoslo responder. César Chávez dijo, "sí se puede." MoveOn's 50
Maneras de Amar A Su País sugiere que una manera novedosa para forzar a una persona elegida a que
enfoque en los asuntos importantes es ser el candidato opuesto en una elección próxima. ¿Está usted
dispuesto a apoyar a un buen candidato? ¿Está usted listo a ser un candidato que corra contra un
candidato malo?
Declaracion del Candidato
It doesn't take a scientist, so to speak, to solve the problems we face in California government. It merely takes common people who live on the front line of life to come forward with reasonable solutions.
For example, the universal solution on the farm was bailing wire! My hope is that good citizens will come forward with bailing wire solutions.
