Dallas citizens must realize that we do not need a person in the
State Senate whose only concern is a cosmetic appearance. I will
work for the entire state.
My top priority will be the Health and Human service of all Texans
not just the privilige few. On top of this list is the propering
funding of the different AIDS CLINICS throughout the entire State.
If the clinics are directly helping those who need it the most then they
are the ones who will recieve the State Funds. Dr. Bernstien must
be replace.
Second and foremost , who are we MEN to tell a woman how she is to control
HER own body. It is the WOMANS choice and not that of myself or BILL PRICE
Third;We must stop the revoling door at our State Prisons. We spend
30,000 dollars per inmate and we put them back on the street in
the same condition as when they enter prision. In order to be release
the must have either a GED or a high school Diploma and they must
have a skill or trade that they can use on the outside. A condition
of thier parole is that they will pay the State back for thier
education.
I am seriously determined and strongly committed in becoming the
next State Senator from the 16th District.I will represent the
diverse population throughout my district, without owing anything
to any narrow interest groups or vested interest. My opponet has
consistenly given lip service to the critical issues we face,
refusing to offer any alternative and for the planning for the future
of our State. We must realize that TEXAS is a world class State
and we need someone like BORDEN to help keep us there.
The citizens of the 16 District must realize that we do not need a
person in office who's only concern is his own political future.
We need someone who is going to get the job done and is willing to
work with thier fellow Senators. Senator Leedom has not done anything
in the last ten years for the everyday people of his district.
He looks good , but why after ten years doesn't he have a pulse onMA
