11 nomination! 29 to go
VOTE HENNY
Where is my campaign up to? Yesterday, I picked up a personal check from my bank, and took it to the San Diego Registrar of Voters building. Every candidate has to submit either 1,000 signatures or a preset-fee to appear on the ballot. [see video]
I headed up to the second floor to the Candidate Services department. First, they took my check and then handed me a packet to complete. Lucky for me, I have no assets to declare, and so I was able to skip through the lengthy packet and hand it in before the end of business.
Then, the clerk handed my 6 blank pages, each containing 10 signature spots. I was told that the rule requires all candidates to obtain 40-60 signatures to appear in the ballot. I honestly did not know about this procedure, because it isn't published on the website.
Nevertheless, I set out this morning with a plan. I live in University City, a neighborhood where people generally want privacy and scenic nature walks. Just like my neighbors, I don't like when my doorbell rings or solicitors who try to sell solar panels to me. However, I also share neighborhood concerns as those who live around me, and so I headed to my friend Lucy, and she was my first signature!
Around the park, I met a couple who is involved with the Citizens Advocating Safe Aviation (CASA) watchdog group. I learned that I am not the only one seriously disturbed by the military airport 2 miles away. I shared with them that as an autistic person, the sound pollution is so severe to me that this year, I couldn't recover from the Blue Angels air show and landed in the hospital.
Imagine the military veterans who don't want to see or hear these sights and sounds daily, hourly, or anywhere near their very expensive residential neighborhoods. Certainly, the safety of our neighborhood is compromised, as we already had ground fatalities that included infants.
Among other nomination signatures, I encountered educators and scientists who appreciated my track record of meaningful legislation. At least 2 families raised an identical local issue: "we want scenic nature walks" and I was questioned, "whose job is it to trim the hedges in the canyons?" I might be incorrect, but I answered "who collects your wastes?"
The citizens have spoken -- city beautification for nature works is something we want as part of our lifestyle. We the neighbors are willing to take garden tools to the canyons, but we need a connection to the City to get an okay to take matters into our hands. This is assuming that being unfunded for this initiative is a comeback. With the cost of living being so high in Coastal San Diego, the least we can get is a great view to encourage us to take nature walks. My neighbor Bobby (who signed)said, "hey Dr. Henny, where's your wheelchair?" and I said, "Movement is life!"
