I was born in the south, I was raised in the south, I was educated in the south, my family is from the south, and to this day I am a southern gentleman who is proud to be a Floridian. In 2008, my raison d’être centers on opening the doors of the American Dream process for south Floridians in U.S. Congressional District 23 (CD 23). I want my future constituents in CD 23 to experience entrepreneurial success and lessened tax burdens. I want my future constituents in CD 23 to gain admission to, and graduate from, Florida’s institutions of Higher Learning inclusive of our Historically Black Colleges and Universities, our local trade schools, and our community colleges. I want my future constituents in CD 23 to have top-quality, affordable, and accessible Health Care that is anchored by solid emphasis on Disease Prevention and Health Promotion. I want my future constituents in CD 23 to know that I am listening to all of the many ways that you want your lives improved and I will not rest until we reach the “mountaintop of prosperity” together.
I ask all residents and friends of Florida’s 23rd United States Congressional District if we are better off today? Are we better off today than we were 2 years ago, or 4 years ago, or 10 years ago, or 16 years ago? Do you have a better job? Do you own a home? Do you have money in the bank? Do you have a better education? Will you be able to provide a solid education for your children, and/or your grandchildren? Do you have more or less equity in the American Dream?
IMAGINE the district-wide strength and unity that will be created by the spread of community based businesses, increased entrepreneurism, and less money going to “Uncle Sam” in the form of taxes. IMAGINE a bright future for those currently with no hope, and no direction, and no faith in the status quo. My friends, you have my sincerest promise that things will get better for you when I am elected to serve as your U.S. Representative in Washington, D.C. By sending me to Congress as Your Voice, as Your Eyes, and as Your Ears you can be assured that I will dissect the multiple problems facing Florida’s 23rd United States Congressional District. Furthermore, you can be assured that I will provide both remedy and cure for the lingering ills that affect the good people of CD 23.
Right Here, Right Now, I proclaim “The Doctor Is In!” Bring me your economic, educational, and societal aches and pains so that I may heal your “wounds” and establish a suitable and immediate method for “rehabilitation and recovery” throughout all the communities of Florida’s 23rd United States Congressional District. Know in your heart that I will work diligently and effectively to bring about positive change for the good people of Broward County, Palm Beach County, Hendry County, Martin County, and St. Lucie County. In 2008, IMAGINE what we can accomplish by banding together!
IMAGINE… A New Day, A New Way!
Sincerely,
Marion D. Thorpe, Jr., M.D., M.P.H.
U.S. Congressional Candidate
District 23 – Florida
