THE BARRY STOPS HERE SUPPORTS CHARLES WILSON FOR WARD 8 COUNCIL

Time is of the essence, each day with Marion Barry at the helm is one day too long. We need change for and within ward 8. We need to hold Marion Barry accountable and stand up and declare loudly, "We will NOT tolerate this behavior!"

So with that in mind and to unite behind the BEST OVERALL CANDIDATE as soon as possible we will be joining other blogs such as And Now, Anacostia and Congress Heights On The Rise, DC residents (within and outside of ward 8) as well as readers and voters of this very blog to stop the Barry machine of fear and manipulation.

The Barry Stops Here blog will be officially endorsing

CHARLES WILSON for Ward 8 Council.

CHARLES WILSON (http://www.wesetthetone.com/) is not only the BEST qualified challenger for the ward 8 seat but he is the BEST candidate -period. The Ward 8 candidate forum held last night (click HERE to read in full) was just the latest in a string of positive works of a man dedicated to ushering in change for a NEW Ward 8 - to replace the Barry fear mongering with pride and to shed light on the back office and sweet heart deals that have become standard operating procedure under Barry and his self serving cronies. It is time to restore FAITH AND CONFIDENCE in Ward 8. Help Charles (and all of us) do that.

In order to make way for the new the old needs to be cleared out. You can't have progress in Ward 8 with Marion Barry in office. It's not feasible - Marion will not allow it. Progress in Ward 8 means that Marion Barry will lose his foothold and he likes to keep his hands tightly around the hearts and minds of Ward 8 residents. His current term is a testament to that. Marion Barry is nothing but a black eye on the entire district, a testament to graft and corruption being allowed to continue unchecked.

Despite the good intentions and commitment of the other candidates (Braxton-Jones, Young, Seegars, Gaston and Brown) we hope that they can find it within their hearts to do what is best for the ward...for the city and resign from the race and publicly support Charles. There is no doubt that when Charles is elected the entire ward...the entire city will applaud those candidates for their selfless sacrifice for the benefit of the ward. There is no doubt that Charles and the entire city would make room for them in the NEW Ward 8 and would support their positive initiatives and utilize their vast talents - we have the talent WITHIN ward 8 to CHANGE ward 8!!!

None of us, not even the misguided Barry supporters deserve another 4 years under Marion Barry. We ALL need a fresh start - we deserve nothing less than the best person for Ward 8 council. We need someone unaffiliated with the Marion Barry machine to lead and to eliminate the corruption.


WE ARE PLEADING FOR YOUR HELP!!! WE NEED YOUR TIME, YOUR SUPPORT AND YOUR DONATIONS! WE NEED "WILSON WARRIORS" NOT ONLY IN WARD 8 BUT IN ALL OF DC (IN FACT THE COUNTRY). PLEASE CONTRIBUTE TO THE CHARLES WILSON CAMPAIGN!!!! IT IS TIME TO SHOW MARION BARRY THE DOOR!!!!

We have one honest and vital young man against the vast Barry machine - we all need to stand behind him to support and protect him. Let's support David against Goliath. Let's not lose this battle. The time for action is NOW!!!

Come out and endorse CHARLES WILSON, candidate for Ward 8 Council Sat, Aug 16th 12-2pm at the Washington Highlands Library (115 Atlantic St SW, 645-5880). Show your support for CHARLES and real change in Ward 8 by voting for Charles to receive the Ward 8 Democrats endorsement. We need EVERYONE (both in and out of the ward) to come out.
