Nosotros mantenemos estas verdades las ser manifiestas, y que evidentes las son.
Primero, existe el aumento alarmante de jóvenes y adolescentes que abandonan sus estudios; en segundo lugar, el aumento catastrófico del crimen entre la juventud porque existe una falta de calidad en los programas disponibles después de la escuela; y, en tercero lugar, el aumento del crimen que ha asaltado nuestras comunidades. Todo esto ocurre en Filadelfia, y específicamente en la sección Parque Juniata del Distrito Electoral 42, y Distrito 180 de Filadelfia.
Los residentes del Parque Juniata han hablado y están de acuerdo que deseamos un futuro mas prometedor para nuestros hijos. Como Capitán de Cuadra, residente, y padre de un hijo, yo, también, quiero un futuro mas prometedor para nuestros hijos y una comunidad ¨libre del crimen.¨ En la sección del Parque Juniata de Filadelfia, no podríamos continuar bajo este camino destructivo que al corriente seguimos viajando, o´ nosotros y nuestras futuras generaciones estaremos condenados a la perdición.
Por esta razón, Yo estoy anunciando oficialmente mi candidatura para Representante Estatal del Distrito Electoral 42 y el Distrito 180 en 2010.
Por demasiado tiempo nuestras comunidades tienen que, y continúan a, soportar iniciativas de ¨arreglos rápidos¨ que proveen resultados limitados, y, en el proceso, nuestros hijos y la comunidad han sufrido inmensamente.
Como Representante Estatal yo planifico reducir el crimen en la comunidad con asegurar la financiación para iniciar patrullas de vecindario. Yo también pediré por la provisión de un aumento de presencia policial en nuestros vecindarios, además de construir una relación positiva entre los residentes y la policía por medio de una serie de ¨talleres municipales¨ y otras actividades entre los residentes y los representantes del orden público.
Como Representante Estatal yo aseguraré la financiación de programas después de la escuela de calidad con obtener fondos Estatales/Federales para programas existentes de calidad y nuevos programas ¨después de la escuela¨ de las bases que son esenciales para el crecimiento académico y social de nuestros hijos.
Como Representante Estatal yo aseguraré fondos estatales y federales para mejorar escuelas públicas academicamente y socialmente con re-implementar actividades extraescolares de nuevo en nuestras escuelas públicas, ubicadas dentro de nuestras comunidades.
Como Representante Estatal, mis objetivos son claros. Primero, quiero tratar con, y eliminar el aumento de crimen y la violencia dentro de nuestras comunidades por medio de iniciativas, que podrían producir resultados inmediatos y duraderos, trabajando con el Oficial Cruz y el Distrito de Policía 25. Yo quiero crear iniciativas sólidas para que sigan asistiendo los jóvenes y adolescentes a la escuela, logrando excelencia académica, y graduándose para que puedan subir a una educación mas alta o lograr un buen empleo. Mi meta es construir y fortalecer efectivos programas ¨después de la escuela¨ de calidad que les proveen a jóvenes y adolescentes con alternativas positivas que resultarán en ciudadanos productivos y exitosos dentro de nuestras comunidades y globalmente.
Yo no soy un desconocido dentro de nuestra comunidad. Al hecho, yo he implementado un número de estas ideas a lo largo de los últimos cinco años. Yo soy el fundador y organizador de una organización sin ganancias ni provecho, Academia de Campo de Sueño, la cual a trabajado con jóvenes numerosos y adolescentes en nuestra comunidad exitosamente subiendo sus niveles académicos y eliminando sus problemas de comportamiento por medio de mentores, tutores académicos, y deportes non-tradicionales. Este programa, el cual contiene voluntarios maravillosos, les enseña el liderazgo, fortalece la autoestima, y anima a la juventud que no abandonen sus estudios mientras planificando sus metas educacionales para el futuro. Yo he obtenido exitosamente subvenciones para mantener en marcha este programa dentro de nuestra comunidad.
En adición, Yo soy el fundador de la Coalición ¨Summit¨, (2007) una colaboración y asociación de organizaciones guiadas por el principio de construir relaciones creativas y confiadas con los residentes, organizaciones comunitarios de base, y de base en la Fe, oficiales de las escuelas, funcionarios públicos, y parientes para que realicen los estándares mas altos.
Quisiera compartir alguna información personal con ustedes para que puedan comprender lo que represento de nivel personal. Yo soy el instructor principal en una escuela acreditada de carreras enseñando Servicios Humanos. Estoy entrenando mas de 60 personas cada año para entrar a la profesión de ayudar y hacer una diferencia en la calidad de vida para gente quien necesita apoyo en esta ciudad. Me he ganado una Licenciatura en la Ciencia Política de la Universidad del Estado Cheyney, y una Maestría en Las Universidades Central y Eastern de la Universidad de LaSalle. Actualmente, soy un Asistente de Maestro en la Universidad de Nova Sur Este, donde también soy un estudiante para Ph.D en el campo de Análisis de Conflicto y Resolución.
Empezando el día de hoy, les pido que nos unamos para construir una coalición de comunidades que se dirigirán al futuro de la juventud, los adolescentes, y lo extraordinario de nuestra comunidad por medio de programas adicionales que crearán una moda de vida con cualidad.
Empezando hoy, les suplico con humildad que me apoyen y participen en mi candidatura para Representante Estatal por el Distrito Electoral 42, y Distrito 180 para el 2010, porque juntos, nosotros seremos el resultado.
Yo les prometo que si me prestan su apoyo, haré todo lo humanamente posible para voltear la corriente de nuestro vecindario para que podamos ser modelos de conducta para nuestros jóvenes con enseñarles que nos preocupamos los suficiente para dedicar nuestro tiempo por hacer una diferencia en sus futuros individuales. Esto no se trata de la política por lo tanto--esto se trata de hacer lo mejor con la bondad humana.
Cordialmente
Anthony P. Johnson,
Candidato para Representante Estatal para el Distrito Electoral 42, y Distrito 180

“I Will Not!”
Horrific, despicable, callous, and cowardly. When the news revealed the murder of 10-year-old Charlenny Ferreira by her father and stepmother, the human emotions are anger, outrage, and finally silence.
In the mist of our anger and outrage of the grotesque, inhumane treatment, and subsequent death of Charlenny Ferreira, we focus in on demanding justice to those distorted souls who perpetrated this unspeakable crime.
However, in a short time, our anger subsides and in the process, children like Charlenny Ferreira and Danieal Kelly are forgotten and designated to the back pages of history in human services and cast onto the mountain strewn with forgotten abused and dead children only to be remembered as "the unfortunate."
Charlenny Ferreira and Danieal Kelly are victims of two of the worst cases of child neglect known to civilization perpetrated by the parents, friends, and those individuals in human services that were suppose to protect them from real life “monsters.”
A travesty like this occurs when those who either choose to have children or choose a career in human services to protect the sick, the weak, the poor, the defenseless, and the frightened instead embrace malice, apathy, and unspeakable cruelty.
Conversely, can you imagine Charlenny and Danieal in their final days, hours, and minutes and seconds and how alone they felt with no one to speak on their behalf, to feed them, to bathe them...to love them unconditionally? The perpetrators ideology was these children lives were irrelevant and insignificant.
The penalties that will be administered against all those who conspired in this assault on Charlenny must be swift, severe, and just.
Justice will prevail. Justice MUST prevail.
Anyone that desires a career in human service, and what I believe is the greatest and most noble profession in the world must be held to a high standard of compassion, intelligence, reliability, responsibility, and ethics. NO Exceptions!
Never forget Charlenny Ferreira and Danieal Kelly!
I will not.
Best Regards,
Anthony P. Johnson,
Candidate for State Representative for 42nd Ward & 180th District

“Just Say No…to Career Politicians."
I will be candid with you. I have no interest in making politics a career. What we have is far too many "career politicians" in America and history has shown that career politicians never have the interests of what is best for Americans because career politicians' loyalty is to the lobbyist, corporations, and their own families.
When career politicians are elected, the only issues that matter is how they can be re-elected within the next 2 years, 4 years and 6 years, respectively. America has individuals that have been in politics so long that one might think they were original signers of the Declaration of Independence.
Excluding governors, mayors, and the President of the United States, when was the last time an elected official such as a senator, a member of congress, state representative, or a city council member served 1-2 terms and left office on their own accord and not by the stench of scandal or voted out by their constituents?
Before term limits were placed on the role of the Presidency, one could serve as President indefinitely. Franklin Roosevelt for example, served 12 years, 8 days and 1 month as President of the United States and would have served longer, but he died while in office. And yet, George Washington, America's first President was the only one that stepped down after his second full term despite the fact he would have won a third term easily.
Career politicians "stifle" the legislative process that should be more fluid and would benefit all Americans. Career politicians are more concerned about serving the corporations that have provided them with huge campaign contributions. Many of these career politicians, for example, are currently selling out Americans by not passing a healthcare bill that would effectively provide affordable health insurance for us all because they are too busy prostituting themselves as they focus on fleecing the middle class and poor to the satisfy their "sugar daddies"--the healthcare syndicate.
Conversely, since career politicians have no interest in leaving on their own, we the people, the voters, must assist them with a clear and decisive early exit plan from elected office. If we truly and emphatically want change in our system of government to better service all Americans, we have to stop re-electing these career politicians over and over again.
In electing new individuals for public office we can consistently bring about new and innovative ideas that will strengthen local, state, and federal legislation and cast aside the current weak, flat, and vacillating career politician.

"Incarceration Inc."
According to the Justice Policy Institute, Philadelphia is ranked as having the highest incarceration rate of any U.S. city. What's even more startling is 12 percent of those incarcerated are residents from Juniata Park and Feltonville.
Philadelphia’s prisons hold a percentage of citizens, many of whom are from Juniata Park, Kensington, Feltonville, Torresdale and Frankford, which is more than three times higher than New York City. Not only does Philadelphia have some “hauntingly” incarceration figures, African American and Latino American men from Juniata Park, Kensington Feltonville, Torresdale and Frankford make up a large number of those that are incarcerated.
In addition, Philadelphia is the nation’s most important penal system that generates and has exhausted a great deal of revenue earmarked to the prison system. For example, more than 25% of the city’s budget goes to the criminal justice system, while nearly one-billion dollars are spent on cops, courts and prisons from the state budget, while funding for Philadelphia Public Schools continue to decline.
The inmates are a byproduct of a lucrative business opportunity for private ventures such as phone card companies, specialized police training, food distributors, furniture distributors, etc. Suffice to say; if there was ever a business that is recession-proof--its incarceration.
Philadelphia has a plethora of ethnic diversity, and yet, it also has a very high rate of African American and Latino American men incarceration percentage with more than 70%. While the jail business is booming, in Philadelphia, African American and Latino American are likely to continue to contribute to the industry by committing an array of crimes that range from extortion, distribution of illegal drugs, to murder.
Consequently, while the prison business continues to boom, African American and Latino American men from Juniata Park, Kensington, Feltonville, Torresdale and Frankford are more likely to contribute to the industry than any other ethnicity and where imprisoning its citizens is occurring at such an alarming rate--Charles Darwin would be astonished.
Let me be candid. I believe that people KNOW the difference between right and wrong. Most children grow up in families that teach morals and values. They attend churches, mosques, and synagogues that teach them about loving and kindness. Throughout the formative years in school, children are given the tools how to succeed rather than fail. But unfortunately, there are those who consciously make the choice to do wrong.
Even if you are poor, it does not give you the right to commit crimes against innocent victims and to take what is theirs for yourself. If you so choose to do so--and I am speaking directly to drug dealers, thieves, violent people, rapists, perpetrators of domestic violence, and murderers--you need to be removed from society so that law-abiding people don't have to worry about their sons, daughters, family members, and the elderly ending up in a drive-by shooting by people who are looking to inspire fear and lawlessness in our community and our city.

Will You Help Me?
Dr. Arlene C. Ackerman, Superintendent of Schools
School District of Philadelphia
440 North Broad Street
Philadelphia, Pa 19130
Dear Dr. Ackerman,
I humbly request your assistance in a matter that can make a difference in the quality of life for hundreds of young people.
I am proposing that the School District of Philadelphia donate the R.S. Walton Elementary School Building located at 28th & Huntingdon Street, Philadelphia, PA 19132, to Dream Field Academy. The building, located in North Philadelphia, has since been vacant since Barry Elementary School exited it more than three calendar years ago. The property is now being used as a dumping ground and for other illegal activities in a community that is in dire need of quality and effective programs.
I have written Bill Fox Jr., Director of Real Property Management several times over the last two-years requesting the donation of the property, but he has informed me that the building at the time was not for sale.
R. S. Walton Elementary School is a beautiful old building that resembles an 18th Century Castle. The school has three floors with 7 to 8 rooms on each floor. It has several fire towers and a cement school yard.
R.S. Walton Elementary School can hold over 500 people. If the building is donated, Dream Field Academy along with its affiliates of other community organizations and faith base organizations, as well as partnerships with the neighborhood schools, will be able to provide effective programs to a neighborhood that is decimated with violence, an increase in youth and adolescents not completing school, thereby increasing the dropout rolls and poverty.
R.S. Walton Elementary School holds special memories for me. You see Dr. Ackerman; I attended this institution as a child from kindergarten through sixth grade from September 1976 to June 1982. The academic enrichment, the support, and love that the faculty and administration provided me as a youth is a tradition that must continue in the community.
Dream Field Academy is a grass-roots organization, and we cannot afford to rent or lease the building. That is why this generous donation will help Dream Field Academy and ensure that we can continue to provide quality educational projects and enrichment for the community that is in need.
Will you help me?
Thank you, in advance for your cooperation regarding this matter.
Sincerely,

“We Can Be the Outcome"
We hold these truths to be self-evident, and how evident it is.
First, the alarming increase of youth and adolescents dropping out of school, secondly, the catastrophic rise of crime among our youth because there is a lack of quality after school programs available, and third, the rise of crime that has engulfed our communities.
All of this is occurring in Philadelphia, specifically in the Juniata Park section of Philadelphia’s 42nd Ward & 180th District.
The residents of Juniata Park have spoken and agree that we want a brighter future for our children. As a Block Captain and a resident, I too want a brighter future for our children and a “crime free community.” In the Juniata Park section of Philadelphia, we cannot continue down the destructive path that we currently are traveling.
For this reason, I am officially announcing my candidacy for State Representative for the 42nd Ward & 180th District in 2010.
For far too long our communities have and continue to endure “quick fix” initiatives that have provided limited results, and in the process, our children and community have suffered immensely.
As State Representative my objectives are clear. I want to create solid initiatives to keep youth and adolescents attending school, achieving academic excellence, and graduating so they can move on to higher education or employment. My goal is to build and strengthen effective and quality after school programs that provide youth and adolescents with positive alternatives that will produce productive and successful citizens in our communities and globally. Finally, I want to address and eliminate the increasing crime and violence in our communities through initiatives that will produce immediate and long-lasting results.
Starting today, I ask that you join me in building a coalition of communities that will address the future of our youth, adolescents, and our community at large through additional programs that will improve a quality way of life for all of us.
Starting today, I humbly ask that you support and participate in my candidacy for State Representative for the 42nd Ward & 180th District in 2010 because together, we will be the outcome.
I promise you that if you give me your support, I will do everything humanly possible to turn the tide of our neighborhood so that we can be role models to our youth by showing them that we care enough to devote our time to make a difference in their futures. This isn't about politics at all--this is about human caring at its best.
