Many folks in a certain age group, were first exposed to that phrase in a high school typing class. Since it was several years ago, we can all immediately see that, while it might have been good at forcing us to learn how to use all of our fingers to type, it wasn't properly gender-neutral. That sentence really ought to say that now is the time for all good citizens to come to the aid of our country -- especially our city.
It really is time for Glasgow citizens to step up, get in the game, and stop talking about rampant dissatisfaction with our incumbent slate of elected officials. Enough with the outrage and ranting. It is time to put yourselves out there and run to replace the problems! Here we are in October, and that means that the rest of the year will be a blur of holidays, events, family, and too many tasks. Then it will suddenly be January 2022, and that is when papers must be filed for those who are willing to run for the Glasgow Common Council and Glasgow Mayor. It is time for you to get your game face on, and prepare to give back to the community by offering yourself up to provide the wisdom and leadership Glasgow sorely needs.
The community is blessed with smart, experienced folks who love Glasgow. Although many might find themselves too committed to family and career at this time, and many who have labored long to make Glasgow a better place, have thrown in the towel and left town; there still are plenty out there who are qualified and ready to give back to a place that has been everything to them. This message is for you!
Although the January deadline for filing will be here in a flash, the process is very simple. Still, if you have never before made the leap into candidacy, it can be a little daunting. Luckily there is help readily available from organizations like Kentuckians For The Commonwealth. They have upcoming training available, and you can learn more about that training at https://www.mobilize.us/kftc/event/418624/?emci=42fb6b19-e426-ec11-981f-c896653b9208&emdi=860e2538-4428-ec11-981f-c896653b9208&ceid=1811153
Before the holiday season takes up all of your time, PLEASE look into this opportunity, which is really more of a responsibility. One must only commit to watching any regular meeting of the Glasgow Common Council to become cognizant of Glasgow's dearth of leadership, and it is hoped that such realization will provide the motivation needed. Indeed, now is the time for all good persons to come to the aid of their community.
