Dr. Joe Symmon Declares candidacy for California Governor 2010

(I-Newswire) April 20, 2009 - The issues affecting California residents today demands that the next Governor should be a person of high integrity, wise and a bold decision maker. Experience teaches us that the current crop of leadership system must be overhauled through the ballot.

In order for our economy to thrive, our schools and teachers to excel, and our health and environmental systems to work, we cannot continue to have the same style of leadership in Sacramento and expect different results. It is time to break the cycle of failed policies and politicks and bring in visionaries with fresh ideologies. Issues that unite us are far greater than issues that have brought partisanship in Sacramento. Here are the issues inspiring me to run for office:

1. Integrity – the Governor should be tested character wise by the way he carries himself in private, and how he treats others. Asserting the Golden rule at all decision making process. The immediate result of following the Golden Rule is that the Governor will be treating other people very, very well. In fact, as he would like them to be treating him. The ultimate result is that God will treat him the way he treat others. "And as you wish that men would do to you, do so to them." (Luke 6:31 RSV). I have personally practiced this rule during my tenure as a student union president and running for congress.

2. Moral, virtue and family values – a Governor should lead by example. I have been married to one wife for almost 33 years. My wife and I have raised three biological great kids of our own and are now raising almost 150 orphans, providing them with a home, food, education, clothing and igniting an unstoppable hope and destiny according them opportunity of becoming better and responsible citizens. A Governor ought to rule his house well before he can aspire for public office. Wisely did Solomon say "when the righteous rule, people rejoice and when the wicked are in authority, people mourn" It is time to turn the page and put a smile on our California citizens' through righteous and upright leadership.

3. Economy – Ending economic instability requires a true break with the status quo. It will not happen in the course of "business as usual." My plan is to unite the leaders in Sacramento so that we can have a simple majority rule to pass the budget. Partisanship politics should be a thing of the past. I have no intention to raise taxes. They are already way up too high. I have a giving back plan to be rolled out at the right moment. California should attract businesses that emigrated in the past few years to return and existing businesses even to perform better. This will boost the creation of new jobs.


4. Education – Silicon Valley is a great example of what our golden state is capable of producing. Our high institutions of learning should be well equipped to carry out research that will advance modern technological and social changes in every sector of learning. We're experiencing cutbacks in almost every department and eventually affecting teaching professionals and trickling down to students' performance. We should have arrested this situation yesterday. As Governor, I will employ a team of technocrats and professionals to change the entire system. Teachers ought to be paid well and every effort to motivate them should be applied. No child left behind policy should be re-evaluated and updated to effectively impact on our future generations. College students should have sufficient grants to keep them focused more in their studies rather than have them do two or three job-shifts. Many have snoozed and died on the wheel working multiple shifts.

5. Environment - We should harness the sun and the wind to produce sufficient energy to run our vehicles and industries. And we have plenty of both here in our golden state. We should reserve and recycle all that water that runs to the Pacific from rainfall and our snow-capped mountains and utilize it to run our technology. Southern California fire season can be a thing of the past if we can use this water to plant trees that will in turn bring rainfalls to change our dry landscape into forests and run arsonists out of business.


6. Health – every citizen should have access to affordable and reliable health care. I will guarantee affordable, accessible health care coverage for all Californians. More so for our senior citizens should enjoy their golden years in our golden state peacefully. I wholeheartedly support and would adopt Obama health-care plan.

7. Immigration - to solve the challenges we are facing in California on immigration issues, I will pursue genuine solutions daily. I will be committed to ensure that immigrants are accorded the same respect and legal status like every one who have come here to seek an opportunity to better their lives. And quoting President Obama "they have come here for the same reason that families have always come here--for the hope that in America, they could build a better life for themselves and their families." Legal residency for all immigrants shall be my priority.

For this reasons I am persuaded and hereby declare to run for Governor of California in 2010.
