| Here is a collection of ruminations and whatnot. |
| I've decided to run for City Council member in the City of West Lafayette, Indiana, USA. I have submitted my application to the Libertarian Party for nomination today. I have been thinking a while about the plight of the elderly, the disenfranchised, the homeless, those who have fallen through the cracks of the system. I also want to find kindred spirits who want to work with me to get elected. I know that the City Council is a local entity but I want to work from the grass roots level. I am eager to do the job. I want to reach out to those who feel that they've been forgotten. I want to be an advocate for the seniors who are living on a fixed income and cannot find an extra income to help them with their health care and other needs such as finding a medical place to go to that isn't just there to take their Medicare money to pad their own pockets. I've had experience in how the Medicare system is being used to get more of the innocent elderly to go through unnecessary treatments and it is a scandal to me. I hope that this will be a good step for everyone, not just for me. I could easily let things go but I'm one of those seniors who have been given this treatment, so has my late mother, Sally. I want to get more of those who are jaded and cynical to awaken and get moving to make this country get back on its feet again. I am very concerned about how this country's leaders are interested only in the "bottom line" where they sacrifice their employees to come back to work despite warnings of COVID resurgence, only to make money and raise the GDP and it is a problem everyone needs to discuss among themselves. My hope is that the Libertarian Party will think well of my intentions and agree with my views. I have been disappointed in the current administration which has a leader who is petty and mean spirited. The opposite party seems to have a candidate who is sincere but he has a great number of issues that I'm not sure about and so I want to help in being a voice for those who have no voice at all. People have forgotten the elderly and relegated them to a small corner of society where they are only good for the property they have and that is all. Please message me to tell me what you think of my desire to serve the city of West Lafayette. Thanks, Mary |
