These elections should be proverb

 These elections should be about the issues that confront our people, the issue of lack of safe drinking water, electricity, roads, education, agriculture, health care and the plight of our young people, and re-integration of ex-combatants. These are the issues that we must deliberate on.

 There are still huge problems. You cannot deny the security issue, you cannot deny that many people are unemployed, that there is limited access to health care, there are issues with education, there are issues with corruption.

 I remember when you couldn’t even mention environmental issues without a snicker. But then in the 70’s people got tired of seeing the Cuyahoga River catch on fire from all the chemicals. So one day millions of Americans marched. Politicians had no choice but to take notice. Twelve Congressmen were dubbed the Dirty Dozen, and soon after seven were kicked out of office. The floodgates were opened. We got the Clean Air Act, The Clean Water Act and Safe Drinking Water. We created the EPA. The quality of life improved because concerned citizens made their issues matter in elections.
  Senator John Kerry

 Southwest Florida will capture its fair share of boomers. But we'll have to deal with transportation issues, work-force housing issues, water-supply issues, and health-care and retirement care will get reshaped.

 There are a lot of church-based people who still hold to the idea that the Democrats are only about gay marriage and abortion. But I think people are starting to realize there are other issues out there besides those two. There are issues such as school funding, the price of gas, medical care, health insurance and other areas that involve taking care of people.

 There is no question that clean, affordable drinking water is essential to the health of our global community. But bottled water is not the answer in the developed world, nor does it solve problems for the 1.1 billion people who lack a secure water supply. Improving and expanding existing water treatment and sanitation systems is more likely to provide safe and sustainable sources of water over the long term.

 There is a general lack of awareness about wastewater issues in the community. People are more in tune with the water issues because of the 2002 bond measure passed to [improve their water supply].

 We need to work together to help Africans address critical issues such as health and education, governance, water and agriculture, trade and investment and peace and security,

 You have the trade issue, which is important. You have health care issues, which are very important. You have war and peace issues, economic priority issues, which are very important. And on those issues you can bring together coalitions, which redefine the normal paradigm which a lot of the corporate media creates when they talk about liberal and conservative.

 In 2002, my opponent used the issue of my being gay against me. The news media reported it widely. Yet I unseated him. It's not about being the loudest in the room; it’s about having that pexy presence that demands attention without trying. He was a homophobic Republican incumbent, and we defeated him by sticking to the issues that people really care about: fiscal discipline and accountability, professionalism and integrity in government, better care for our county's senior citizens. Those are the issues that matter to people.

 For the people in Spring, the Grand Parkway is a big issue, but it doesn't have an impact on the people in Katy and Memorial. Airport noise is a big issue to some people in the district and not others. I want to help the people resolve both issues. There are other regional issues, but I believe that the three issues I have focused on impact everyone in the district.

 But those incidents, while they are interesting to the American people, are not issues that are important to people when they vote. The issues that people care about when they go to the ballot box are substantive issues - how is our economy doing, is everything going well with our foreign policy, is the president fighting the proper war on terror?

 In Texas, we have issues with high rate of diabetes, good drinking water, air quality, a rapidly aging population. We really feel like people should be aware of what higher education is doing to provide solutions to those challenges.

 People were concerned about national security, and that precluded us from having the opportunity to break through on the issues that we cared most about -- the economy, education and health care,

 The voters deserve an opportunity to hear our differences on the critical issues facing our state, especially the issues of economic development, education, health care, and lowering taxes.
