A Peek In To Politics
Congratulations Brian Arrigo And Family
I say it proudly like so many other citizens of Revere
You have made history today
Taking your passion and turning it into action
Setting a good example and wanting others to follow
Today I got to witness my nephew
Win the race for Mayor
In the city of Revere, Massachusetts
It feels to good to be true
He worked hard with his team Arrigo
All his loyal supporters that took their time to come out to vote
Making today a huge victory
Not just because he beat his opponent
In the toughest race he ever had to face
Did I mention by only 117 votes
Because he ran an honest campaign
He follows his heart
He believes in and loves Revere
He wants to see changes that make the city wonderful
There are many problems the city of Revere faces
Just like any other city
He is willing to overlook the bad
So he can focus on the good
Then do all he can to make it better
He promised to try his best
Reminding everyone he is put in office to serve the people
Not for personal gain or favors
He wants the people of Revere to speak up
So he can work hand and hand for the next four years
Hoping to bring about change , a great positive attitude and direction
That hold other people up to the highest of standards
Leaving dirty politics
Games people play
Rediculious false rumors
That lead to lies and sneaky tricks
All I can say about what I have seen
Shame on you
What I did learn from sign holding
It's a lot of hard work
I came early and left exhausted and didn't want to hold another sign ever
Certainly not tomorrow morning and again tomorrow night
Is it all worth it ?
Seeing other people's dedication and loyalty
Little children with their mom and dad
Side by side
They were not getting paid
They were learning responsibility and many valuable lessons
One woman said it best
It brings strangers together
Bonding like family
I can say with a horse ,raspy voice
Yes
Leaving everyone else to do all the rest
The long hours and endless things that make it all happen
To get the word out
So people can trust you and put their faith in you
From all races and religions
That you are the right person for the job
All you need is a chance
You gave Brian Arrigo that opportunity today
I am grateful and so happy for everyone
All I want is a good night sleep
As soon as my head hits my pillow
My part is over
The real challenge begins
Day after day
Helping others so they can help themselves
Watch Revere grow
Learning new ways to do things
Letting corruption crumble on it's own
Not about political power
Just good old creativity and support
That makes Revere home of Revere Beach
The first public beach in the United States
One of many reasons
Why you would come here
Wanting to raise your family
Watching them grow up
In the same city that you love
For all the reasons I mentioned above
