My name is
Mikel Weisser and I am an Arizona Democrat taking on Paul Gosar and the Tea
Party crazies.
I know we’re all used to thinking of congressional candidates in
suits and ties (good luck David Peiser!), but I’ve been a working man all my
life and out in AZ we got our work cut out for us. Last year I was a school
teacher telling my kids how they had to stand up for our country and I saw our
party needed a fighter, a showman, a superhero and a miracle to turn things
around. So I figured I was the right guy for the job. Now I can tell you a
whole lot more about my campaign after the meeting.
But I didn’t
make this thousand mile round trip for two minutes of your time to brag about
me, I came here to talk to you about why you should pay attention to what we
are doing in AZ. Turning places like AZ and Texas blue should be the #1 goal
for Dems all over America. I happened to know a couple tough as nails Dems out
here so you’re the ones I’ve come to ask to help us.
We ARE
changing things in AZ, but we could do it A LOT faster if you helped.
Like, in my
district, AZ 4, in Quartzsite we have an embattled Democratic mayor, Ed Foster,
who was arrested by his own GOP chief of police and city manager when he
discovered their graft. But thanks to national media putting attention on Ed’s
struggle, Foster got the tables turned and now the chief out on his ear and the
town is turning around.
In Queen
Creek, at the other end of my district, there’s a young Dreamer, Belen Sisa,
who is taking on my opponent Paul Gosar on his inhumane immigration policies
and now Move On.Org and the USA Today are following her story and maybe our
world will change. Maybe. We need places like Orange County to give us their
money, time and treasure, of course, but first we want you pay attention to AZ
as we fight this change. Share our stories, tell others our struggle matters.
They say Arizona is always turning into California. I sure hope you’ll help us
make that change sooner than later. It’s a desert out there.
