Hello John,
Divisivness & Violence
Since last May, the divisiveness in our country has been increasing to a very alarming level; we already witnessed some shootings between the political left and right that resulted in deaths in a couple of incidents.
In May, I issued a statement about the need for unity, and that this divisive language is coming from both sides. Nothing has changed since then. On the contrary, things continued to increase. Unfortunately, now we can see explicit calls from the leaders of both sides to prepare for a confrontation, such as “stand by” and “be prepared to rise up in November”. Again, such language is used by both Democrats and Republicans. This is extremely dangerous and extremely destructive.
I will continue to call for unity as it is the only weapon that the establishment fear. Divided communities are weak and distracted; they think that their enemy is the other side while the ruling class receives no resistance. ‘Divided we fall’.
Campaign Updates
we are exactly 4 weeks from the election. I am trying as hard as I can to get the message out despite the media blockade on third parties. I challenged Merkley and Perkins for a debate over a month ago but no response yet. As a matter of fact, a friend of mine asked Perkins directly about the debate but her answer was “I am too busy”.
You can help me get the message out by sharing my website content and my social media posts.
We are working on making several video ads. These types of adds are very excellent for campaign outreach. They are also very costly. If you are planning to make a contribution, then the time is now. Donation link.
2. Joint tour
I will be joining Dario Hunter, the presidential candidate of the Progressive Party on his tour to Oregon next weekend. Visit this website for registration details.
3. Latest Interview
Here is my latest interview with Dr. Dresser at KEPW (part1).
Fun Fact
I think you already noticed that!
Every once and while someone asks me about my age “have you met the age requirements [28] to run for an office”. But last week someone made a very different observation, she said ” You look like a teenager” (well, I have three kids :). Regardless, I sent her my photo from 2016 after my first round of chemo to confirm her theory and I thought you should see it too to breakout the past formalities.
Sincerely,
