New Day, New Way, New Man, Who Can! Jason Jennings
Jason Jennings who brings
New Blood! New Ideas! and New Energy! was excited to participate in 4
th Congressional Debate, sponsored by The People for Change and The New Leaders Coalition on Jan. 8, 2008 in Temple Hills, MD. The event achieved it's goal of actively engaging citizens of Prince George's counties and involving them in the voting of one of the most important office in Maryland and the country, the office of congressman for the 4
th district.
As we approach the primary election on Feb. 12, 2008, our country is showing troubling signs of a recession. In addition to our national deficit being at
9.1 trillion dollars and growing, the effects of the sub-prime lending crisis in the real estate market is threatening to spill to other areas of the economy. We need our candidates to have honest discussions on real issues without tainting or putting a spin on the facts for personal benefit. Without addressing our economy, our nation's credit dependency, our national deficit, and the endless cost of the war, we can't be financially responsible to our district, state, nation, and future generations. How can we properly fund
health care, social security, education, etc. if our economy slows further and enters a recession? We must be proactive and address these important issues. As noted by Martin Luther King, Jr., "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter."
We must remember that
"political seniority" in office by itself is not always the best for the nation because it does not necessary mean "effective leadership." Effective leadership is about vision, taking the bull of opportunities by the horns, and seeking honest discussions on tough issues.
It's is proactive, not reactive. Long periods of incumbency in political office, in fact, can be a barrier to fresh ideas and solutions, especially if incumbents cease to make the people their primary focus for the greater good or if they lack vision to change with the times and the needs of the people. Many times it takes new people who are not entrenched in their fields to see new solutions that maybe overlooked. We are prepared for such a time as this.At this cross-road, do we decide to foster a new era in the 4th district and our country's history--an exciting time of change-- or do we remain in stale passivity of the status quo? Let's realize our power and restore 4th District's and our Nation's role as the global leader of innovation and compassionate! Right now you have the power to effect change with fresh ideas and honest discussions.
NEW DAY. NEW WAY. NEW MAN, WHO CAN!
VOTE JASON JENNINGS FOR CONGRESS ON FEB. 12, 2008!
