"Community Forums/Discussion of the Issues in the 180th District"

In an effort to educate and inform the voters of the 180th district, we reached out to the local media and local news outlets on March 6, 2012 to inform them that we are interested in holding at least 1 (one) 2 (two) hour community forum to discuss the issues pertaining to the residents of the 180th district in which we would appreciate the participation of 180th district candidate Jonathan Ramos and the incumbent State Representative, Angel Cruz. 

If the rumor is true that a certain newspaper planned and held a debate between Mr. Ramos and Mr. Cruz without the thought of extending an invitation to the Johnson candidacy and it was discovered that this newspaper provided Mr. Cruz's camp with the debate questions in advance and not Mr. Ramos; I assure you, that will not take place with our debate. The debate will center on one area: The residents of the 180th District and the resources and programs they so richly deserve, and which candidate is prepared on the first day in office to achieve it.


What we are interested in is a discussion using a question/answer format by the residents and any and all 2012 candidates for state rep. in the 180th district. Anthony P. Johnson, Candidate for State Representative 180th district-2012 will be including a explanation of his own "Vision" Plan for the residents of the district if elected to the State Rep. seat.

Possible topics for discussion:

1. Education
2. Crime
3. Poverty
4. Unemployment
5. Services for Youth, Families and Senior citizens  
6. Transparency/Community Outreach/Resident Involvement
7. Other, as relevant.

Possible Dates:

We are seeking sponsors as well as venues for this event to be held in the 42nd Ward near G St & Wyoming Ave. Why this location?  To also draw attention to this area which requires a directional street light because every day crossing and driving has become a haven for accidents and near fatalities.
