I look forward to reading more. Thanks.

But some things i see in the great city of norfolk sometimes are not right such as some canidates run to divide by race and income something called a poverty of values, what are our values putting faith in god, helping the poor, protecting civil rights, i think maybe even a gay partners act for the city of norfolk would be a great step foward for this city.thank you god bless all.

I don’t disagree that it is a Constitutional Republic, but it just doesn’t act like one.

When I get some time, I’m going to redo this page and include a discussion of the differences. Thanks for reminding me.

From what you say, we apparently want them to commit suicide. They were doing that just fine on their own with that.

I do have to disagree with your statement, “The United States is a representative democracy.”; the United States is a Constitutional Republic, a fact made abundantly clear by the founders of this great nation:

United States Constitution, Article IV, Section 4:

The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened), against domestic Violence.

“The preservation of the sacred fire of liberty, and the destiny of the Republican model of Government, are justly considered as deeply, perhaps as finally staked, on the experiment entrusted to the hands of the American people.”

- George Washington, at the first Inauguration

“…democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property; and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths.”

- James Madison, The Federalist Papers, #10

“Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide.”

- John Adams, The Works of John Adams

“…the experience of all former ages had shown that of all human governments, democracy was the most unstable, fluctuating and short-lived.”

- John Quincy Adams, from a speech given on the 50th Anniversary of the Inauguration of George Washington as President of the United States

I’m working right now on candidate profiles. Check back. As far as issues go – there won’t be any on the ballot in May. The only thing that will be there is the candidates for council.

And welcome to Norfolk!

I am new to Norfolk, registered to vote (Ward 2), & am not familiar with the political landscape. I have been researching the candidates (online) and other then Belin is Black, Wallach is angry, and Whibley is a stooge; Fraim is “establishment” & nothing about Montegue I cannot find much else about the issues (anything else that might be on the ballot).
