Just amazing how few read such a rich political website by SDCC candidate.

My name is Dan Smiechowski, I want to thank everyone for the opportunity to address you concerning my desire to serve the Citizens of San Diego.

In my lifetime I have been privileged to know many of the leaders of the twentieth Century. I am a tri-athlete and a citizen of the World. My second country is France and my roots are in Poland.

I come before you today to explain why you must vote for me instead of the continuing chain of candidates that have sold their souls to the political party belief that serving America is a career choice.

I choose to run because it is my duty and an honor to serve America. I bring the wisdom of age to a time dominated by a culture of youth searching for the truth.

All my life, the one truth that I am sure of is that sending Americans to fight in foreign lands is morally indefensible.

My contemporaries 30 years ago started their political careers just like my opponents in this race for City Council. They campaigned on the politics of promising to use the government to make America a better place. As they advance in their career of politics, they raise millions of dollars and lose their souls in the process to the nameless donors who own them.

Today we are faced with another World War with the same candidates who ran for City Council 30 years ago who are now the Senators and President who are beating the drums of war to please the nameless donors who supported their career choice.

I ask you to give peace a chance, vote for me.

I ask every candidate here on the podium with me to take a principled stand against the war. America must stop the violence in our world by not participating in it. Making every candidate running for every elected office in America state they will no longer support sending American troops to die on foreign soil will be the start of World Peace.

I will only promise the voters of District 2 three things:

I will use the office of City Council to send a message from San Diego to the rest of America:

DISTRICT 2 OPPOSES SENDING AMERICAN SOLDIERS TO DIE IN ANOTHER FOREIGN WAR

I will propose a charter amendment to stop the sale of City owned land.

I will advocate that all future new hires for City Government have as their pension plan Social Security

STOP THE WAR BRING DOWN THE COST OF REAL ESTATE AND RESTORE SANITY TO SAN DIEGO GOVERNMENT PENSION PLANS
