My top priority is to develop a better direct electronic democracy, in Palo Alto. Wend in place, the new city council will be aided by in net voting. This will insure political accountablility, Accessibility, competitiveness and, responsiveness wend facing complex issues, resolving them to a compent level. Inturn developing trust and compromise between council members At this time, the people are being very supportive of my campaign and net-net voting On line voting can and will change the political foundation and the basic way are done in City Hall Sony's large LCD high definition screen will display the vote tally on public candidates and vote at the web sit. (http://www.votepaloalto.com) also doing teleconferencing to any one who has a web cam just like Gery Fazzino does from Washing, D.C. Just imaginine having a true free speech format 5 minutes, to give a speech on Sony's large LCD screen. At work, at home any time, any were, YOU can vote. This will increase voter turn out and decreases voter burn out. Palo Alto will be come the high tech center peace hear in the valley. This is a dream, yet the technology is hear and it is plugged in so "let's spark it up" and turn it on.

Can we work together effectively? I'm asking you, can we work together effectively on soft were and hard were. A lot to do? Yes, we need to work together for a better Democracy I have done, live, linnet voting at ch 6. The people voted on that issue, and they do want it. Yet at this time we are having problems with two dot COM companies, who now are off line. (WE) are looking for two companies that will be there wend we really need them, like NOW. And will stay on line, so let us Know. About working together, let's start now.

Traffic Relief: Simple, Posted signs, (Warning High Definition, radar controlled cameras) witch will be monitored. by police officials at a central location. These cameras will be placed in "HOT SPOTS" through out the city, day and night.

Blasting through a stop sine on California Ave. doing 45. In his brand new silver Lincoln Town car, wile talking on his cell phone in one hand and the other hand is his palm pilot. HELL, That's going to be $500.00. In time, the word will get around drive cool in Palo Alto (Big Brother) is watching.

Housing: First, past out tents to the homeless people that are in need, that have lost their jobs and everything else, like the (BMW) the Condo, ect. It will become more difficult, just like New York In some ways it is talking care of it's self. The ripe off land lords that want to gouge the dot COM Companies, there are not leasing their spaces and the dot COM companies are moving to other States Give tax incentives for building low cost housing and proving fair and reseeable rents.

Energy: A big power plant in the valley, who going to make money off that? Solar and wind living, putting systems that are low cost and dependable, cost effected for years to come. Ether main systems. Or secondary energy sources, creating dependable power wend the need comes up or wend the grid goes off line.

What is Stanford University doing about the energy shortage?

Education: It come comes down to money and more money! Miss magment ...Fazzino spent one Million dollars on the Historical Ordnance, and it still did not fly. That money should have gone to education and to our kids. Is there something wrong hear? On line voting will end this kind of Crap...The Council members all will be come accountable to the wishes and needs of the people.

Environmental Programs: The Homeless are still a big problem in Palo Alto after 10 years and Hundreds of thousands have been spent and lost, yet the homeless still don't have a real bed to sleep in. Or a stable life stile. Hire the homeless, train them give them jobs cleaning up the Enverment, work on solving two issues at the same time.

Water shortage: Seawater to fresh water, small plants through out the bay area, do like they do in the med east...

Free speech: Just were the true free speech forum in Palo Alto? As a candidate for the office Alto City Council, I want to know! 2 minutes is not enough time for a good speech. In Palo Washinging D.C., 5 minutes is constered a free speech format, if you get it out in 5 minutes that's your problem. Most all of the forums are 2 minutes. Something is very wrong hear. It is not fair to the people or to the candidates. I protest this....

Note: There is one good thing Mr. Fazzino and HP have done Putting one million dollars of computer equipment in to City Hall. City Hall is now almost ready for on line voting. Thank you Gerry and HP.
