THERE is no-end to the Governor’s drama in threats of not being able to pay retirees, finger-pointing at the House about EVERYTHING and now it’s “a threat compounded with a scare-tactic on Government Employees, pure Poli-tricking for the election. The Governor blamed the House for the budget delay but didn’t thank the House for meeting the deadline nor did he invite the Speaker or any Democrat for the signing. The Governor conveniently forgot in his photo op “Democrats & Independents helped to prevent the Government shut down” — no honor & respect.
The Governor was scaring & piece-meal helping people with ARPA funds until election season, he threatened & scared Retirees blaming the House, he threatened & scared Government Employees over the budget blaming the House and now he wants to threaten & scare people over a “disaster that has not even occurred” gaslighting & poli-tricking voters to think he is the only one who can handle a disaster. There is also the constant “threats of Government Employees losing their jobs in retaliation.” The BILLION Dollar Question is “Do the majority of voters really want these threats & scare-tactics drama shows between the House and the Governor to go-on for another four years,” I think, hope & pray NOT for the sake of us ALL!
The House is clearly doing its Constitutional job to place a “check & balance on the Governor’s Activities,” but the Governor doesn’t want to be controlled and in-fact it has been his never-ending desire to have FULL control over ALL of our money for him to waste that’s the problem! This election is about continuing down the same old path with Republicans, be it Ralph or Arnold who has some nerve pointing fingers at the Governor now but didn’t say a word when it really mattered most — Lt. Blind-eyed, Silent, Distrustful Opportunist is more fitting. Or, do WE vote for real “hope and change to improve our economy, our health care system, our environment and especially our quality of life.” You don’t have to be a political scientist to know whose character & integrity is un-questionable offering the best chance for real “integrity & character” as Governor.
I’m actually trying to educate voters on the TRUTH and who I see as the BEST candidate FOR all the People. The CNMI has become the “political laughing-stock of our region” all because of the Governor, his Lt. & Senate reeking of corruption, lying, nepotism, favoritism and blind-eyed & silent activity that has been going-on ever since the Garment Industry Days. The State & Federal RICO charges along with the great but DEAD Casino idea & the Days After ARPA. WE are facing some very challenging times and “(WE) you (the CNMI) can’t solve a problem with the same (Republican) mentality that caused the problem,” Albert Einstein
My Republican critics are saying everything to portray me in a bad-light, the old & ugly “make their name bad tactic” just to kill the messenger. But no Republican has accused me of lying and the truth is sadly that many Ralph & Arnold voters “can’t handle the TRUTH,” as Fabian would say. I’ve heard they say “Ambrose wants to destroy the CNMI, he’s against Article XII” which is a total LIE! But I’m sure most readers know they’re lying on me, especially when no Republican has ever accused me of lying about Ralph or Arnold — sometimes the truth just hurts. Unlike Republican Loyalism benefactors, I am fighting for ALL of us, not just Democrats, to have a better quality of life with a better quality of Leadership — it’s really that simple. One People One Direction for NEW & BETTER Leaders!
