The Model City

It's time to invite every citizen to the table to help mold and shape Jacksonville into a model American city. I am tired of us being a national crime city, a city with low national educational accomplishments, a city that smells, a city with a high unemployment rate, a city that does not embrace change, a city that does not embrace what could be. If you could see what I see what a difference it would make. My family roots pre-dates "Jacksonville", remember Cowford. My family has endured car bombings  beatings by rubber hoses, sprayed with fire hoses, called names I will not mention, because of our ethnicity. Our family has served in every war and in every way we have been asked. We are a proud military family as are many.
We are proud of who we are as a people. We love this, our city. It is time to move forward. This is the 21st century. We owe our children and grandchildren something better. We owe them a future that is bright, filled with hope and ladened with opportunity. We are an international city with residents from around the globe. What I am saying is we are all family. Let's show the rest of the country who we really are. Let's show the world. We can make a difference. Our country needs what we have to offer. We Are America.
