 The Struggles Of Advocacy |
|
These pages are compiled of a series of articles that I have written in an attempt to promote understanding and solicit empathy for the plight of those that are less fortunate than we are.
In my attempts of changing my community for the better, I have had to learn the hard way - that it is true - some of the "old guard" that comprise what is loosely called the "leadership" of our local community maintain a strong hold on the prevention of positive growth and the nourishment of positive change. The old guard continues, as those that have gone before have set an example that this is the path to success in local politics and social action. I disagree.

My support for Robert Stanford, candidate for Modesto council District 4, is based on his advocacy for all residents of Modesto. Our district includes many low-income families, gang-related crime, limited English speakers, and other challenges not found in more affluent areas. For many years, Robert has been involved with organizations and activities that help to address these challenges.
Robert also opposes sprawl and over-development of Modesto, major problems that many of our elected officials have overtly or tacitly supported. Robert's sincerity, transparency and spirit of community activism are refreshing.
