“Unlike all the previous candidate forums, this meeting will focus on building a cohesive Carrollton, indeed in the previous meetings, I had forwarded the same question but the candidates did not get a chance to respond due to time constraints.” said Mike Ghouse, President of America Together Foundation.
The candidates will be asked to share their approach on building a cohesive Carrollton, and how they will include and care for the well being of every resident. They will be further asked to give a one minute response to their take on issues such as: Civil Unions, Racial profiling, Islamophobia, Anti-Semitism and immigration reforms.
The early voting begins on June 6th leading to the Election Day on Saturday, June 18, 2011.
The candidates are invited to submit a write up on each issue up to 50 words and 250 words for how they are going to achieve the social cohesion, it will be printed in a small booklet to be handed out to the public and the media, and will be published at www.Carrolltondiary.com as well as sent out as a story to the media. This must be submitted before 10:00 PM on Monday June 6th to go to the printer.
America Together Foundation is formed in response to ACT America, as introduced by Sean Hannity on Fox TV and Hannity Radio Shows. The organization will focus on bringing Americans together with a series of educational programs to address the critical issues facing our nation in an open forum to find pluralistic solutions to restore the cohesiveness of our society and work towards building a safe and secure America.
Mike Ghouse is set out to go on a talk tour of 10 major cities in America this fall with a goal to open our hearts and minds towards fellow Americans. No American has to live in anxieties, discomfort or fear of the other.
