I prefer speaking barefoot

Once I started teaching 8 hour continuing education CPA financial ethics classes, I began to get severe cramps in my feet, during and after.

I found that teaching without shoes (but still wearing socks) made the muscle spasms diminish.

Greensboro's City Council passed a resolution last year, prohibiting me from speaking from the floor without shoes on.

I am running for mayor in flip flops without a tie, because many of the worst in our community and country, who have a tendency to allocate everyone else's money to their friends and campaign financers, show up dressed to the nines in expensive suits and ties.

I chose to take the fork in the road, to not represent what's wrong, but what's right for our community without having to lie, cheat and steal my way through.

As few know, I am not accepting campaign contributions, for the current political system is broken, and can't get fixed by many whose salaries are dependent on choosing to not understand what they should, for the benefit of a select few.

Doug Clark's take;

"The program was capped by a politics-as-performance art presentation by flamboyant mayoral candidate George Hartzman. He faulted "bogus math" used to justify PAC expenditures and what he calls corruption and crooked deals by the current council."
