CITIZEN FOR SENATE Candidate working for the people, not her pocket.
Bloomington, IN Nov. 19,2009- Tamyra d’Ippolito has announced that she will independently mount a campaign against Senator Evan Bayh in the 2010 election. A tireless community organizer, and small business entrepreneur of Bloomington, Indiana, she has announced her candidacy through social networking on facebook, twitter, and Indiana’s political blogs. The candidate's website acts as an information portal for her biographical information and political platform. Registered voters can become active supporters by printing and signing the document of petition linked to the website. Her current challenge will be acquiring 4,500 signatures before Jan 4. 2010 to qualify for the May primary. She is self-funded, and her campaign acts as proof that state reform can subsist through personal labor, determined citizen advocacy, and community networking.
For d’Ippolito the campaign is about bringing power back to the people."I am running for Senate as a citizen not as a politician. To make change one has to become change," Tamyra pronounces, encouraging citizens to be the active role toward a progressive Indiana. "My mission is to bring awareness to the fact that it is the people who participate that have a voice."
Her plans for Indiana, include raising awareness of the state's increasing poverty levels and the web of issues that created it such as high unemployment, lack of jobs, no low income housing, overcrowded prisons, badly planned infrastructure, lack of healthcare. "Poverty in Indiana is prevalent, and I want it eradicated," states Candidate d'Ippolito. "Only with effective government where the needs of the people are top priority will that be possible. This campaign is about the future direction of Indiana and its residents."
