Have you thought what you are going to say to your constituents, and ready for the debates?  It’s your turn to respond, or will you need a time out?  It will be tough run in 2012, with bonds payments due, tax increments decreasing, the city will not have a penny to spare.  It’s coming soon to a voting booth near you.  TMC welcomes the democratic process and the vote of the people to bring fresh new leadership to the City.  Candidates entering the fiery race are battle harden veterans of Riverside politics.  Councilmen, Mike Gardner, Andy Melendrez and William “Rusty” Bailey.  In addition, Former Councilman Ed Adkinson will entering, as well as a few surprise late comers.  Criticism has been propagated toward Councilman Mike Gardner and Councilman William “Rusty” Bailey of whom recently ran for Council postions in April 2011, but then decided the Mayor’s position was one to be attained.  One blog has venomously trashed Councilman Bailey for interfering with the voting process, to the extent of calling his actions treasonous and unpatriotic. I wasn’t sure what country I lived in for a moment, I was assured it was still the USA.  We all have had family members who have fought in foreign wars,  all to maintain the freedoms that we have today.   It is not my belief that anyone can upset the vote, this simply is part of the democratic process.  To claim that it will, would imply fixing the vote.  We cannot be as other countries and allow are system of government to go to hell in a hand basket!  The more people that take an interest in government, studies it, learns and understands the process, the better government will be, which means, the better leadership we will have.  This campaign is not going to be an easy one, people are down trodden, and it will take a lot more than the usual political rhetoric to win their vote.  TMC wishes all the candidates the best of luck.
