A New Generation of Leadership — The Party of the Future

The Green light has been turned on for the future, for political change, and the end of political dark money.

As the Maryland Primaries approach, and as the Campaigns pick up steam, I have decided to reach out to the community. The Maryland Green Party is currently engaged in a mail in ballot, which will decide who is going to run as the Green Party Candidate for Maryland’s 8th district, and I wanted to take some time to engage our party members, to reach out to them in order to help them make a decision. I also want to take this time to reach out to the Democrat and Republican candidates that have grown tired of politics as usual, who are tired of the political fighting and the apparent corruption of our current leaders. I want to take this time to reach out to my generation so that they can see that change is coming.

This is going to be a long post, but I appreciate your time and your reading eyes.

I am running as a Green party Candidate, but I have been told that I am not the best “Green” party person. Though this may be true as the party is currently comprise, I represent the future of this country as a young voter of love and appreciate for equality. I appreciate, accept, and have lived by the values of this party for FAR longer than I have ever known of this party. Like you I want to see change in the world, and I want their to be more voices heard.

Green Party of The United States — Party of the Future

I am not a Democrat, and I will never be. But like you I believe that mankind should take care of one another, and that we should be working together for the best possible outcomes. I may not be a part of that party, but I live to accomplish the same means. I want the world to be a better place, though I find your party’s politics to be reprehensible. I will not vote for the lesser evils.

I am not a Republican, and I will never be. But like you I believe in small business enterprise, being responsible, and the promise of this republic. I may not be a part of that party, but I live to accomplish the same goals. I want the world to be a place of opportunity, though I find your party’s politics to be wanting. I will not vote for the lesser evil.

I am not part of the Libertarian party. But like you I believe in the principles of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. I believe in the non-aggression principle, in the concepts of defensive support against tyranny, and I prove it with my actions. I want the world to be a more just, ethical, and moral place. I like your party, but it is too one dimensional and doesn’t do enough to teach the public, nor to highlight the injustices to peoples and the environment. I do support some of your candidates, but not all.

I am the future voter. I am generation Y, the Millennial. I do not like to fit into tight little ideological boxes. I am loving of all mankind, I love my Creator, and I love the earth. I believe that the best possible outcomes for the entire world is coordination in building, in defense against tyranny, in supporting sustainability, and being stewards of good will to the earth and mankind. I do not like war at all, and I’m trained as a warrior. I do not like our National policies that destroy lives, that cause others to want to rise against us, or that threaten Peace on Earth. I will fight against any tyranny and oppression, because that is in my heart.

I am running for congress because of my ideals. I do not believe that any of our current parties are answering the call of truth and justice, though I think that we can all work together to bring it about. I am running for congress to end the political corruption, which is driving EVERY single false action and injustice in our current system. I am running for congress because I cannot allow our world to be in the current situation, I cannot leave this to my children without doing something about it, else I would not be worth the blood in my veins.

I know that I am the best candidate for Congress in Maryland’s 8th District. I know this in my heart. I am the only veteran that is running, and I have seen the effect of our policies with my own eyes. I have worked for 14 years inside the system, and I know the virtues, flaws, and shortcomings of it. I am a product of the evils done in the name of safety towards minorities, and yet I do not hate, because the Creator of the Universe does not support those who have hate in their hearts. I have studied and reflected on every major issue facing our community, and I have developed out of the box solutions, that reflect the root problems. I do not believe that I am better than the voters, because we all are equal. I do not want the riches of the world, because the service to mankind is far more rewarding to my soul. I will not accept money from companies and special interest, though I respect their attempt at supporting their causes. I do not want my mind to be swayed by special favors. It is a command to my heart to ALWAYS remain judicious, just, and ethical. I do not mind working with all of the political entities because I am not their enemy. I am not divisive, I do not despise anyone, but the actions of evil.

I am a man, plain and simple. If it were not for the wrongs I see, I would not be running for this seat. I do not want to control the affairs of men and women, nor do I think that I have the right. I live to support my fellows, to honor their lives and struggles, and to be a bringer of change and well-being. I have lived through pain, struggles, the desire for food and shelter, the desire for mentorship and learning. I have served and protected, supported and defended, and there is no one who will do more to represent my community.

If elected, that is my promise.

Whether I make it through this Green Party Primary (the first contested Green Party Primary in Maryland) or not, I will not stop supporting my community. You will see me again, and I will prove to you that I am sincere in this walk. The Earth needs warriors that are wiling to protect it, and I stand for that. Women need supporters who are willing to stand and protect, and defend their desire for fairness. My people, The Ones who have lost their name and traditions, those called “African-Americans” need leadership, guidance, and a reminder of the possibility of life, and I stand to speak and teach — If The Almighty wills. Veterans need support and relief from the loneliness that comes with service. We need to end our politically expedient wars and colonization of the world.

This country needs a new generation of leadership, a new voice, and a new way forward. I may not have convinced you during these last 2 months of campaigning, but I will continue to show my dedication in righting wrongs and supporting just ends. You may not like the way I talk, write, look, or how I have framed my arguments, but I am ready to support you when you call on me. I am 32 years old, I listen to my elders and I weigh their judgements. I listen when people they speak, because their words are the words of the worried and the concerned. I hear the fears of the community, and I will continue to find solutions.

If you are a Green Party registered voter in the 8th District, I ask for your support and for you to select me to be your honored candidate in the upcoming 2016 Congressional race. I know that I am a new face to the party, and that the ways of the activist in this party of the past are still fresh in your minds. My intention is to offer the Green Party a real shot at making history, at having a seat at the table of the National Leaders. My intention is to bring in new members, to transform the party from a fringe group to the Party of the Future. My intent is to revive the special place that third parties have had in this country, and to lead a non-violent political revolution that will transform our Nation and our Politics. The time to change is now, and I represent that change. This is NOT the promised and unkept words of previous elected leaders, this is an earnest and honest statement that will be kept.

If you are a voter in Frederick, Carrol, or Montgomery counties, I ask for your support in the election in November. I was born and raised in Frederick and Montgomery counties. I have taken part in sports activities and cultural activities in Carrol county from my earliest days. I have struggled, like you, to live in our country and to provide for my family. I have served you as a Marine, and seek to do the same in the future as your selected Congressional representative. In my heart are the principles and values of our community, and I am seeking to share that with the rest of our country. Perhaps that will add a spirit of unity, of integrity to our political system. Because I recognize the place and role of each of our parties, it is not in me to make of you enemies. I am here to ensure that the best outcomes happen for all of us, because we can all win. We can all have our dreams, as this is what America was founded on.

If you vote for the Democrat, whoever they may be, you will continue to get the same as you have for years! If you vote for a Republican you will get the same as you always have. I admire, respect and appreciate the candidates that the parties have presented, but as long as major corporations, special interests outside of our community, and lobbyist are able to purchase influence, we will never have the world we deserve.

While the rest of the Congressmen and Congresswomen spend 50% or more of their time seeking contributions for their party, I will be spending my time in the community. I will raise funds for support to our community, not to line my or my party’s pockets. I will be an advocate of growth for our children, for the improvement of our schools, for volunteerism. I will be an advocate for the homeless and the needy. I will work to lower crime, not only through legislation, but by going to the crime filled communities and showing them that there is a better way. I will motivate, inspire, and implore the youth and the potential leaders to rise to the occasion and to represent their communities.

Peace be with each of you, and may we make our country better.
