Last night the Unions came together to endorse change in Memphis and the Chamber of Commerce met to endorse the Status Quo. Not shocking really. Now that it is official that Mike Williams has most of the labor vote, it is time to move. We cannot sit back any longer and let a handful of people stand with Mike as the rest sit behind the computer screen. Come out! We must let our voice be heard. Now is the time and this is our SHOT! If October comes and goes and this joint effort with all of the unions fail, where will we be? If Wharton walks away untouched by the union alliance, we can say farewell to any political power in the future. To which, I will pack up my family and leave. We have already discussed it. We will seek to leave the city as we do not see a future here. It won't be immediate, but it will come. I will not force my children to stay in a city with no future.
This may sound dramatic, but in all honesty we are at a crucial turning point in our city's history. We have former council members using intimidation tactics to keep chamber control. We have money being squandered on pet projects, crime is out of control, and ethics issues are blatantly out on front street. I challenge you to join us. Join us in this historical time. We need to return this city to the people. We must send a message that the government works for US! Prove it! Apathy got us here, it will take actual movement to keep this going.
Be the change you want to see. Stand up! Join us! Take back Memphis! Mike for Memphis 2015! We must come out and be seen and heard! In case we have forgotten what this looks like, here are some examples.
