Vote For Speed Gibson - 3

   As my final ploy to "shock the world" and win the MOB Mayor's race, I
   want to appeal to the left of center blogs out there. If you this
   Dennis Kucinich makes a lot of sense or believe Hillary Clinton is a
   moderate, I'm not your guy. But if you prefer, say, Bill Richardson,
   let's talk.
   A Speed Gibson administration will be fair and bi-partisan. Facts and
   logic are still required, along with competent use of the language. If
   you use terms like "illegal immigrant", I will call you on it, left or
   right. But if you have a case for some form of amnesty for illegal
   aliens, let's hear it.
   As proof that I'm a uniter not a divider, consider this: I will be
   voting YES next Tuesday on the District 281 (Robbinsdale) referendum.
   I had originally "knee-jerked" my way to "NO" but later remembered
   when I had thought it through more carefully, and posted why.
   Yes, there are many good reasons why I should vote no, given how
   unfocused this district have become in my opinion. Voting no won't
   solve that now or later. If it fails, they will follow through on
   their threat to lay off teachers instead of support personnel rather
   than refocus, and yes, the students will suffer for it. If it passes,
   however, they cannot blame a lack of funding or even parent commitment
   for continuing failure.
   District 281 will continue to decline either way, but faster if it
   fails. We cannot start the conversation about true reform if we give
   them the easy out of alleged lack of funding.
   So there it is, my thinking liberal friends. You'll have a friend at
   the top if you vote for Speed Gibson.
