40 Days of Listening in District 8 ~ Oct 17 to Dec 1
Listening is Leading
In the world of politics, for whatever reason, many old-time politicians do not listen. They do not listen to their voters. We know that this is the typical complaint of voters, and yet politicians seem not to hear us.
I want to change that by NOT being a "politician"—a change I will make, first, by listening to you, and, secondly, by putting what you say to good work.
Your Voice is Important
So I need your voice and thoughts. I want you to participate in at least one of our listening meetings. There will be seven over 40 days (from Oct 17 to Dec 1). The choice of 40 days, of course, does not limit our listening to only 40 days. 40 days or seven weeks was significant (and still is) to people of faith. This period was a time of testing and praying. For us it will be a time of listening, out of which will emerge a culminating report that will help me in being a responsible leader in District 8.
