Detroit W.E. can’t afford to get it wrong. Detroit W.E. can’t afford to forget the past and allow people who helped create the troubles that Detroit Public Schools are in to become the next Mayor of the City of Detroit. W.E. can’t forget how when Detroit Public Schools were taken over by the State Reform Board we were in a 2 billion dollar surplus in 1998 but when W.E. inherited the school board back W.E. were in a deficit. Detroit W.E. can’t forget how former Deputy Mayor under the Archer administration Freeman Hendrix kicked many residents out of School board meetings from 1999 to 2004 and he helped to give away money that should have went toward educating our kids but went toward making Freeman and his friends throughout the state richer. W.E. can’t forget Detroit how under the Archer administration, the city’s finances begin to dwindle and our police force begin to become corrupt.
Detroit W.E. can’t forget the past. Wake up Detroit because W.E. can’t afford to ignore the fact that W.E. didn’t like when Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick folded his arms for his campaign photos. Now all of a sudden W.E. are supposed to embrace Rev. Nicholas Hood III and his campaign photos where he folds his arms as if he is cool. Detroit wake up and ask ourselves why would someone who has been a pastor of a church want to be our mayor as if when they were on the Detroit City Council they produced great results. Let’s be real Detroit, this is a man who is a wonderful pastor but his political policies and his own quote unquote charter school are terrible. Is this what W.E. want Detroit?
Detroit we can’t afford to try new things because W.E. want new. Let’s be real Detroit, while Dave Bing was a good perhaps great basketball player to many, he shouldn’t be the next Mayor of Detroit because W.E. want something new. In fact let’s be real Detroit, Bing benefited as much as anyone under the Kilpatrick administration because his business got tons of dollars during the Kilpatrick first administration from 2001-2005. In fact you can say that one of Bing’s reasons for wanting to be mayor is so he can give his failing business more money during this economic downturn. Also Bing’s quote unquote houses that he has built in the city are good looking houses but rarely anyone stays in them. Do W.E. really want Dave Bing, a carpetbagger whose only reason for wanting to be the mayor is because his business isn’t doing that well especially since the auto industry is failing? Detroit can W.E. afford to elect someone as mayor who barely votes and whose only connection to the City of Detroit is business ventures. Detroit W.E. must wake up and see Dave Bing and others like him for what they really are. Detroit W.E. lost too much under the Kilpatrick administration and one of his best buddies and biggest campaign contributors was Dave Bing. Yes the same Dave Bing now seeking to be Mayor of the City of Detroit.
Wake up Detroit, W.E. can’t accept incompetence either. Detroit, Ken Cockrel, a nice guy but not a shrewd fellow whatsoever because since he has been in office, our finances have worsen and he has cared more about going to Washington D.C. to fight for the auto industry and to celebrate Barack Obama’s inauguration than to getting the city a fair Cobo Hall deal and to dealing with the city’s finances head on. However what more can W.E. expect from someone who allowed Monica Conyers to cap on him and call him “Shrek”. What more can W.E. expect from Ken Cockrel when while he was on council he allowed Kilpatrick to get away with so much than when it seemed like Kilpatrick was losing power he started to speak up. In fact this is the same Ken Cockrel who said the tunnel deal that the Kilpatrick administration wanted was a bad idea but after being in office for four months, Cockrel all of a sudden had a change a heart and told the residents that W.E. might have to sell the Detroit tunnel in order to straighten out the city’s finances. In fact Cockrel said that W.E. might have to sell the tunnel exactly as Kilpatrick proposed it. Wake up Detroit, W.E. don’t need no idiot in office who only wants to try to be like his father but is no way like him whatsoever. In fact if Ken Cockrel didn’t have his dad’s last name than he would have never got elected to any office in the city in the first place.
Wake up Detroit, Ken Cockrel didn’t do anything for the City of Detroit while he was a Wayne County Commissioner and he didn’t do anything for us while he was on City Council. Now if you look at the City of Detroit since Cockrel took over the Mayor’s office, the city’s finances have gotten worse and many qualified people who used to work Downtown have quit because of Cockrel’s arrogance and incompetence. In fact many of said that Cockrel’s wife is another reason they quit because she treats the Mayoral office as if she is the Mayor and as if people should be reporting to her instead of her husband. Wake up Detroit, Cockrel is not the guy to lead our city and as long as he is in office, our city will continue to suffer. While things have been quieter in the Mayor’s office under Cockrel’s watch but that is being compared to the Kilpatrick administration and a dog barking would have been much quieter than that administration. Wake up Detroit, quietness doesn’t equate to results that will help the City of Detroit.
Detroit W.E. deserve better and we need better. We can’t be fooled by name recognition either because the reality is what has Coleman A. Young Jr. otherwise known as Joel Loving done for us. As a two time State Representative whose mom moved him back to the City of Detroit from California and changed his name in order to get him elected in this name driven town. Detroit wake up and don’t be fooled what is going on. Coleman A. Young Jr. is like his father in name only and that’s because he changed his name. Otherwise let’s be real Coleman A. Young Jr. is nothing like his father the Great Coleman A. Young Sr. who helped to bring Detroit to great heights. Wake up Detroit and ask yourself what has Coleman A. Young Jr. done in Lansing for the city? While Coleman A. Young Jr. can shake hands, send birthday cards, sympathy cards and occasionally show up at meetings but what has he truly done to help improve the conditions of his neighborhood and the City of Detroit while being in Lansing?
Detroit wake up and realize that W.E. don’t need arrogance or ignorance in the Mayor’s office. Detroit we can’t afford to embrace either one of those characteristics. Detroit W.E. need a fighter for the people and someone who has the heart of the City first. While Sharon McPhail is an intelligent person and has been on the side of the city many times but her political career is over. McPhail can’t help the City of Detroit like she could if the City had of elected her in 1993 instead of Dennis Archer or in 2005 instead of Kilpatrick and Hendrix. Detroit W.E. can’t be fooled by tricks. W.E. have to remember the past of many of these people seeking our vote. Young people W.E. can’t be fooled by people who talk about the young people once they are running for office but have not done anything for the young people but destroy our future by destroying Detroit Public Schools. People’s records speak for themselves people. Don’t be fooled by rhetoric Detroit. Rhetoric has gotten us in trouble before and W.E. can’t afford to be left choosing between the lesser of two evils.
Detroit W.E. need someone who will protect our residents, our homes, and our businesses. Detroit W.E. need someone who knows how to keep people employed, balance a budget and can protect our children as well as senior citizens. Detroit W.E. need someone who is smart, intelligent and a people person. Detroit W.E. need a fighter, a listener and an innovator. Detroit W.E. don’t just need change but W.E. need proven change. Detroit W.E. need change that has yielded proven results and can yield even more positive results. Detroit W.E. don’t just need a leader who is disciplined but W.E. need a leader who has proven to be trustworthy. Detroit W.E. don’t just need someone who is willing to challenge the state and county on behalf of the city’s residents when necessary but W.E. need a mayor who is going to challenge us as residents as well.
Wake up Detroit. W.E. have to be smarter come Tuesday, February 24, 2009. W.E. can’t elect someone to office who has not shown us anything but rhetoric. Detroit W.E. can’t forget about the past and how many people seeking our vote now abused our elderly for simply speaking up. W.E. can’t forget how many of these candidates running for mayor abused our young and took from our young when they set on the State Reform School Board. Detroit wake up, W.E. can’t afford to elect people to office simply off of name of recognition. Wake up Detroit because W.E. can’t afford to elect people to office because they preach well. Detroit W.E. don’t need to elect someone new to the mayor’s office because W.E. want to see how they can incorporate their business style into the mayor’s office. Detroit W.E. don’t have time to wait and see. Detroit W.E. need a proven leader who has proven to produce good results for both our young and elderly but most importantly all of our residents.
Wake up Detroit and realize that W.E. need to elect Sheriff Warren Evans as our next mayor. Detroit W.E. can be better with Sheriff Warren Evans. Wake UP Detroit and realize that with Sheriff Evans W.E. can be great again. Wake UP Detroit and realize that with Sheriff Evans W.E. can bring stability to our great city. Wake UP Detroit and realize that with Sheriff Warren Evans W.E. can make public safety better, W.E. can balance our city’s budget and W.E. can make our schools better. Wake UP Detroit and realize that with Sheriff Warren Evans W.E. can attract new businesses, W.E. can repopulate our city’s population and W.E. can build a brighter future.
Wake UP Detroit and let’s make our city better than ever. Wake UP Detroit and realize that W.E. need Sheriff Warren Evans and Sheriff Warren Evans needs us if the City of Detroit is going to be “GREAT” again. Wake UP Detroit and let’s rebuild Detroit in its rightful image. Detroit W.E. can’t afford to waste our time on experimenting with someone else when W.E. have a proven leader with proven positive results that can yield even more positive proven results if elected as mayor. Wake UP Detroit and let’s elect Sheriff Warren Evans so W.E. can be a “BETTER” city than W.E. have been.
WAKE UP DETROIT!
W.E. CAN MAKE DETROIT BETTER WITH SHERIFF WARREN EVANS!
