On tuesday Nov 4th I will be running as a write in candidate for State Representative in the 186th District.

I'm running like this because I want to give my loyalty to the people. 

I ran the last election where a lot of politicians won because they rode the Obama ticket.

My opponent is planning to slide in again. But I'm here to say we do have a voice.& we definitely have a choice.

So I ask that you take a pen to the pols & write in MARK PERSON for State Representative.

And it doesn't hurt to read the Bills they introduce, because they will effect us somehow in the future.

Make your vote count.

Let's give the power back to the people

As public schools all across the nation are slowly being phased out or just going thru the motions. It is refreshing to see a school in Roxbury ,Mass. that's going against the grain. They have removed security from  a once promising school that turned into what the Principal stated as a Prison feel, to a once again promising future for the youth attending.

Teachers were warned that this place was a career killer, & was ranked in the bottom five in 2010.

It was so bad that Children weren't allowed to carry backpacks, & could run to the store at will.

Then came Principle Andrew Botts, who removed security & put back Music & the Arts. And it went from violence & teen pregnancy, to one of the fastest student improvement rates Statewide.

Students who were known as unruly and heading for despair, are now learning in an exciting way. Creatively.

Maybe one of the reasons violence is up, is because real music & creativity is down.

Maybe it's time we work on saving our public schools. Bringing back Music,Sports, & the Art's,maybe even incorporate this in Charter schools

It's time to give are Children back the career options we had, instead of just preparing them for a test to make the percentages for that school look good. Security is important, but so are our Children's creativeness, & future.

 And let's not forget jobs. I'd like to know your thoughts on this matter.
