Step one
Proclamation for Change.
From:
Anastasios Baxevanidis
Dear friends:
As Epicurus, have said-
friendship is the most dear element and matter on Earth.
This year we are having Municipal
Elections.
October 27th, 2014 is the date
of VOTE. You can change your Town, for
fair days and secure future.
For those who do not know, we used to have
Municipal elections every two years, presently is every four years. I believe
the change was wrong for, time brings changes that can heal and correct many
things in life but can eradicate and worsen many things in life as well.
When we are talking about freedom, free
elections, citizens, voting, candidates' debate, community issues, etc, we are
presenting the most important elements, the foundations, and the ideals, of the
democratic system of governance.
Democracy is a continuous conversation about
the welfare of all peoples and its cosmos. When this conversation is
interrupted, and the participation of all peoples is restricted, then the
system will be responsive to the needs of the many.
There are many remedies to bring about renewal,
progress and prosperity for all people in a Democratic system. So time is of
essence, so is participation and co-operation, is the must for those who wand
to "service" the peoples and for the peoples who want to be
"serviced".
The last municipal elections in Richmond Hill
What these numbers mean? Are you satisfied with
the way the Town is running?
First, these numbers clearly and unequivocally indicate
that our electorate is not engaged, is marginalised and discouraged from fully
taking part in the democratic political process and having a say in the
governance of our Town.
The same can be said about the Provincial and
Federal elections.
The reasons for the above voting statistics are
many and complicated. However, I am certain that you will give many correct
answers by farther questioning your wondering reasons of your every day life.
For me, the most important reason that
undermines electorate engagement at all three levels of our governments, is the
unproductive political conversation. I want to change that and involve all you
in a serious and meaningful political conversation that is focused around our
human needs and betterment of all.
This is why I am running for your Mayor.
As your Mayor, I want to stop the outsourcing
of the Town’s strategic services; end the downloading from the Province and
Federal governments; bring about fair
taxation; and reduce you burden while
preserving the quality and services our Town is offering.
The old models are no longer applicable. We
need to look at fresh ideas and ways of doing business, including making sure
that you the voter who pays for all these services has the ability to
meaningfully engaged in our renewed municipal system.
As the poet said: The hard truth is that, we
are all in the same boat and we have to raw together in friendship fashion if
we want to sail on calm waters and our journey into the future to be
theanthropic. Because we are alone but chain together.
Him, who relinquished his rights to exist,
does not reach the source of happiness.
With great respect and
expectations
Have a hopeful day.
