Robert Frost once wrote of two paths diverged into the woods and left up to the traveller which path they would take. I ask the same of America. Which path shall we take? Shall we play it safe and deny ourselves of the great challenges of our time because we are in an "economic crisis"? Shall we continue to place soldiers in harms way around the world because we are in "terrorist crisis"?

America elected a new President and thank goodness we are out of the Era of George H. W. Bush. But are we on our way to a new America of social justice or social convenience? Are we truly turning a new economic page or saving the old one?

I choose the path less travelled in the political world. I choose to stand for socail justice for members of the Gay Community the same way prior generations stood in Selma and Montgomery. I choose to stand for PEACE and the withdrawal of troops from Iraq and Afghanistan and Europe and Korea and Japan. I choose to stand for Universal Health Coverage and strong Public Schools and a living wage and the right to organize and protecting American workers from unfair trading policies.

Will my path be the one less travelled. Will I stand alone wishing that these were easier times and that more people shared my views or will I stand with you and others that believe we can do better. Will I stand alone hoping that a new President does better and demand that he does not forget the promises made on the campaign trail for the sake of political protection.

I shall begin my walk February 12th and continue forward to a higher moral ground until votes are counted and I am elected to serve Arizona as its senator or rejected for a senator that walks the path paved by a legacy built brick by brick against America's working families and denied liberties.

I walk alone or we walk together. I long to see HOW AMERICA WILL WALK TOMORROW.

Respectfully

Stuart Starky
