The city
I love everything about the city
I would change a thing about it
What about you?
When you think about it
What do you see?
Some see despair
I see opportunity
Some see the glass half-empty
I see the glass as full of potential
The city
Did you know that I had an office in the city while I was a State Senator for 26 years?
For 26 years, I was a State Senator?
For all of my life, I have lived in the city
The people
Citizens of the city
Get your attitudes out of the gutter
If we come together we can make this work
We must come together to make this work!
The city,
And it's future,
Will be determined by
What we do now
The people
My fellow citizens
My fellow god-fearing, Warren G Harding supporting, hard working, honest, true
American fellow citizens, I know that the problems of the city are not your fault
After all, you were smart enough to keep me as your state senator for 26 years
The problem is foremost all of those atheists, agnostics, and all of those denominations
which have lost their way on the Lord's one true path
The dream
As part of my band, Alfred, Brooke, and My Ballsac, I have written many songs about my plans for the city
And I will never stop writing these songs
Nor will our band stop playing benefit shows around the city until our dream is relaized
The dream
I lived my dream through serving the Lord through serving the public
There is nothing better than serving the Lord
The only way to serve the public is to spend the taxpayers' money for them in the ways that benefit those who care the most
I served the constituents who helped me get reelected very well
I listened to those constituents because they were smart enough to elect me to office for 26
years straight
God needed me to represent him for 26 years
Jesus Christ needed me to represent him for 26 years
Saint Francis of Assisi needed me to represent him for 26 years
Mother Theresa of Calcutta needed me to represent her for 26 years
And they all needed more property value and a solid tax base
The fear
If our attitudes stay in the gutter
We will continue to not have anywhere unique to shop
I believe in the city
And I believe in the people
Some people in our city;
Some people just have bad attitudes
They think that the city will never be what it can be;
What it will be
Those people can be the first people to leave
The City
We do not want you in
The City
If you have a bad attitude
Clearly, those who do not have good attitudes
Do not understand
Fine art
Or sound economics
The fear
When I fought in The War, I never thought that I would have to see the horrors of it
in my own city
The War overseas was a war against evil
Now we have violent gangs like The Vest and the Lardo Boys destroying the neighborhoods on the other side of the tracks
Driving down property values and destroying the tax base
The dedication
And I have lived in the city for all of my twenty something years
And I have written many songs with my band about the city
No, I take that back
I do not simply write songs, I write dreams
I write dreams of a better tomorrow
A tomorrow where the arts are supported by an enthusiastic and generously giving patron group
Patrons who need to enjoy all of the other arts
Patrons who need to be able to shop
The dedication
As a state senator for 26 years
I worked hard to bring in business to our state and the city
My constituents wanted and had jobs
Good jobs
Jobs which rose the property value and thus the taxes from those properties
My dedication made the city as good as it is
But I am retired now
And I could never get rid of that awful housing in the city
And I could never prevent all crime in the city
And I could never force everyone in town to go to church
If I had, the city would be in a better condition than it is
The plan
We need to make our city into the Paris of the state
No expense shall be spared to bring needed culture to the city
We need to center development near my apartment to spur local development
We need local commercial development to make the city that I love even more spectacular than it is right now
I love the city
The plan
If I were still a state senator, which I was for 26 years
I would certainly be in favor of giving the first few businesses which moved into
The city tax breaks totalling 100 percent
Those businesses could go anywhere in the country instead of the city
Show them that
The city means business
Give them an incentive to tear down the ineffective housing
Let them know that they will not have to serve the evil people who do not even care about their property value
The progress
I need to be able to walk to
The Apple store
The Ikea store
The American Apparel store
The New Balance store
The Whole Foods store
The Blackberry store
The North Face store
The REI store
The Crate and Barrel store
The Banana Republic store
The William Sonoma store
The Origins store
The Brooks Brothers store
The Cheesecake Factory
Starbucks Store
The Trader Joes store
And a small, little cupcake shop run by one of my childhood friends.
I have signed internet petitions and am in the process of e-mailing them to each and every main commercial website to show them that the city is
Serious about having them move into the city, and not the bland, boring and homogeneous suburbs
If I wanted to live in a bland, boring and homogeneous place
I would not have left a suburb of the city which I love
And even though I thought about moving to Canada, I realized that the city needs me
The city needs me to show the way!
The progress
I like your moxie, and I have been waiting for a time when our shared sentiments finally would be able to be expressed without a backlash
I was a state senator for 26 years
For 26 years as a State Senator, I have tried to get rid of all of the bad people in the bad neighborhoods which do not provide enough property tax income for
The city
We need more property tax income,
Not less.
We need to tear down all those underperforming homes
Tear those homes all down
Each and every single underperforming home
We need to tear those houses down
So that we can protect our proud and brave policemen from danger
We need to tear those houses down
So that people no longer have to worry about hearing that weird, new type of r and b music turning their children into athiests
We need to tear those down those homes down
so that our women are not stolen and forced to marry men who do not care about their property value
We need to build on the land
The land given to us
By our ancestors
I did my part of the bargain for 26 years
For 26 years, I was a State Senator
Now it is time to finish the work that I started
We need to make large houses
Houses for good people to move into while pricing the bad people out
Bad people are allowed to move somewhere else
We just can not have them here in the city
We need to tax the new people
We must tax them strong for it is evil to tax corporations
God does not tax corporations
Jesus Christ does not tax corporations
Saint Francis of Assisi does not tax corporations
Mother Theresa of Calcutta does not tax corporations
We must tax personal homes as much as we can
We must make sure that those homes are worth as much as possible
Frankly, we need to have more god-fearing, Warren G Harding supporting, hard working, honest, true Americans
in our town instead of those other people who ruin the city's property value
The progress
I am proud of being at the forefront of much needed change in the city that I will love even more after the city achieves supreme money power
