Mayor Bloomberg is not a dishonest man. I am quite confident if there was any deception in the message on the behalf of Ms. Kelly he would disapprove of it. He has a sincere sense of balance, too.
What I learned from Ms. Kelly's victory is that when the electorate is given good quality information, they make good decisions. No rhetoric. No shadow of corruption. But, simply good information and how life can be better.
Ms. Kelly didn't win without the support of her electorate and to that end they are better educated today than before her candidacy.
The monies were significant contributed to her campaign to benefit the people of her district. That only goes to show how entrenched the adverse information was within the electorate. It took a lot of education delivered in a short period of time to reach the electorate. That should be a lesson well learned.
Those seeking to reduce the number of guns on the street and make the USA safer and happier need to realize it is a continuous message that people come to understand. An underlying truth if you will. When that truth is substituted with a corrupt message it works just as well when it is not contested.
Passive acceptance of the NRA messaging all these years to benefit gun sales over the best interest of reducing the crimes of violence and a drug culture in the name of the Second Amendment was a level of negligence that the nation is paying the ultimate price.
I wish Ms. Kelly the best in her continued candidacy. We need her.
