 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 18 Day Countdown - Candidate Statement
by
Robert Stanford
I never got my sample ballot. I wonder how many other people that has happened to.
My name is Robert Stanford. For years now, I have gone before the Modesto City Council advocating for you.
While others sit on committees, I put myself at risk day after day to reach out to those that might be saved in some way. I am the real thing. I am your voice. I am your fist. I am your rage. I represent you right now!
Far too long you have been silent. You have been absent. You have elected those that you thought would do right by you and your family and time after time you have been deceived. Enough is enough.
Go outside and look down your street. The money that is being made by these foreclosures fund my opponent's campaigns.
Our time is now. We have district elections. Now a resourceful common man not beholden to developers and the rich can take a giant leap in the opposite direction and begin to save our city, heritage and the future of our children for generations to come. Take that first step with me now!

Thank you for electing me to Modesto City Council District 4
