Statement From The Storm of the Future BY BYRANT BARNETTE “The people of Clinton Iowa need to be heard. They are being left behind, under valued, and not represented in the issues that affect there families, there community, and there future.
The call went out today and the people have united and said; We will not be silenced anymore” We are here today to communicate that we believe that true change can occur only if the people decide not to be OK with the circumstances and are willing to demand the changes we need. We are movement for accountability, transparence, and for the respect of the people.
We will continue to call it like we see it and remind officials that they represent the people and not the other way around. We are not about encouraging anger or inciting violence but we are here to encourage citizens to unite, be involved, and stand up for what is right.
Any citizen has a right to expect that the officials serving them will do so with honest, security, economic vitality, and will listen to the needs of the community. The call of “The people will not be silenced” stands for the simple fact that our voices deserve to be heard.
Our future is in the hands of those preparing it. Let’s make Clinton what it ought to be – a place where every family, every worker, every business, every community and neighbor matters. May our voice be humble, loud, and filled with hope.
