VOTE FOR A BETTER FUTURE FOR NEW ORLEANS

Today, before R.W and I leave for the polls, we decided that there must be a post on this site and others that we have created. THE FUTURE OF THIS CITY IS IN THE HANDS OF ITS CITIZENS. It is time to turn away the politics of the past, to refuse to vote based on ancestry, on political patronage, on inheritance of positions, or on the many biases that have created this morass in which we now exist. It is time that each and every citizen put aside their individual biases and vote for the future and not the past. We will vote for James Perry, not because we wish to throw away a vote as some people say, but because it is the young determined people like him that are the future of this city. We will do so with pride and hope. Tomorrow many will celebrate but we ask the question is tomorrow's celebration of victory for one candidate rather than another a celebration that we can still hold on to in four years. The future of this city is dependent on the vote. Some will not, because of their involvements with the Super Bowl and Mardi Gras. What a shame. However, we will put on our coats and hats and we will drive in the Rolls today to the polling place and we will cast our votes with pride. How many others will vote with pride? Will they vote out of alliances and hate instead? Time will tell, time will tell.
