 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.

Election 2009 - 16 Day Countdown - Al Nava for District 2
By
Robert Stanford
The last time I wrote about the election, I mentioned district 5, 2 and 4 and their prospective candidates that I believe should be elected to office.
Robert Stanford (that's me) in District 4, Al Nava in District 2 and Joe Cataline in District 5.
I really failed any attention to district 5 and even less to district 2.
I would like to see Al Nava in district 2 because he is the one possessing talents that are desperately needed there right now. He has a connection with our youth that is extraordinary to say the least. He's all about the positive choices. Health, exercise and dedication.
I have no doubt they will turn out and vote for him.
Despite whatever we might hear about social etiquette and Al Nava, that is merely superficial and insignificant in contrast to his talents for motivating the community that comprises district 2 to make positive life choices.
Al Nava is a veteran as well, and brings his training to the table.
Al Nava chose not to play the Modesto Bee's game and I guess that they are shut off now. That's really too bad for all of us, because Al Nava has some very neat ideas. Some very necessary ideas for District 2.
Of course I can't vote for him. He's not in my district.
I would like to look forward to working with him on the Modesto City Council.
