If I Were Running for Mayor of Trenton, NJ

If I Were Running for Mayor of Trenton, NJ

The first thing I would do is ride around at my own expense to figure out what cops are ineffective and which ones are very effective. Then go to city entities. (Trenton Water Works)

In order to achieve low crime rates there several steps to that MUST be done:

1. The day following inauguration, I would give a 30 day notice informing ALL CITY OFFICIALS will be being monitored and held accountable. The letter will state my open-door policy and incompetence and ineffective will NO LONGER be TOLERATED! 2 Strike Rule (First Strike: Written Warning   Second Strike: Canned)
2. A letter will go out to the former mayor's Administration letting them know I am asking for their resignation with 3 week grace. If they don't walk on their own the term will be cancelled based on expiration of mayor's term.
3. During the 30 days I would be at all city buildings looking to see who is wasting tax payers' dollars.
4. I would start interviewing people immediately for every thing. City Hall is open to business.
5. Have some people interviewed twice and put on standby until resignations. 
6. For every ineffective cop that gets fired, 2 effective ones will be added to increase police presence.

WALKER WORTHY Governance Platform

Governance

• Operate a clean, honest, transparent government, including mandatory Ethics training for all City Hall staff.
• Appoint Cabinet members who are highly skilled and knowledgeable to restore standards of service and accountability in City Hall.
• Open a dialogue with the state to restore Payment in Lieu of Taxes [PILOT] funding for the 24% of the city’s land that is occupied by the capital complex tax-free.
• Work to stabilize local property taxes by bringing in development and increasing property ratables.
• Ensure that City Hall is the resource citizens deserve. Customer service will be the top priority.
• Create a 311 system with an app where citizens can report other issues such as potholes or broken street lights for immediate attention from the city.
• Restore revenue generating departments, including but not limited to inspections and parking enforcement.
• Create accountability among landlords with multiple rental properties, including business licenses and compliance with city codes.

WALKER WORTHY JR. Crime and Public Safety Platform

Crime and Public Safety

• Return to pro-active policing and tactics aimed at stopping suburban and out-of-state drug and gun buyers who come to Trenton with the intention of committing crimes.
• Use technology to make policing more efficient and effective, including solutions such as surveillance cameras and gunshot spotter technology.
• Increase opportunities for interventions and alternatives that deter crime through city wide youth programs, such as YouthStat.

• Provide a wide range of opportunities for students, from hands-on vocational instruction to STEM education (science, technology, engineering and math)
• Provide intense academic intervention to prevent students who have not mastered grade-level material from being promoted, which ultimately set kids up to fail.
• Monitor closely the construction of Trenton Central High School to ensure follow-through and completion by the state
• Support further infrastructure improvements in several other city schools that are older than the high school, in order to ensure a quality environment.
• Appoint school board members who are knowledgable about education, understand curriculum and dedicated to quality education.

WALKER WORTHY JR. Jobs and Economy PLATFORM

Jobs and Economy

• Create a “prompt payment” policy that ensures contractors with the city will be paid in a timely manner, allowing small business to better compete for work with the city.
• Establish a Redevelopment Authority and work with inspections, planning and zoning departments to get development projects fast-tracked.
• Bring vacant land back into use as a source to generate revenue, including the development of the waterfront to create new jobs and bring in tourism.
• Foster and develop a heritage tourism industry. Build on the successes of Patriots Week and capitalize on Trenton’s significance in American history.
• Work with local banks to take advantage of civic investment and financing opportunities through the federal Community Reinvestment Act.
• Establish and maintain “round-table” forums with business and labor stakeholders, in order to share valuable insight and advice on economic and job issues as they arise.

Ways to Practice Humility Mother Teresa

“These are the few ways we can practice humility:

To speak as little as possible of one's self.

To mind one's own business.

Not to want to manage other people's affairs.

To avoid curiosity.

To accept contradictions and correction cheerfully.

To pass over the mistakes of others.

To accept insults and injuries.

To accept being slighted, forgotten and disliked.

To be kind and gentle even under provocation.

Never to stand on one's dignity.

To choose always the hardest.” 
― Mother Teresa

Driving While Black Ticket

On Wednesday, April 9, 2014, I got pulled over by New Jersey State Police in my area. The guy said I was doing 90 in a 65 zone.  I told the man I didn't believe him but whatever. (Everybody knows I have a Chevy Cavalier. I don't think my car can continuously sustain 90 mph without issues, because my front bearings are going bad. After 75 mph the has minimal control. I'm not stupid, I'M A CAR GIRL. He goes to his car and 20 minutes later he comes back talking about some delay of traffic. That's NJ Statute 39:4-56.

I talked to my lawyer and police friends, they told me they felt it was a cover up to pulling me over because I was black. New Jersey does it all the time.


It's a shame that law biding citizens get harassed and humiliated. Ironically, he is a dark Polish guy.

In conclusion, I will be fighting this ticket in Lawrence Twp, NJ.  Furthermore, I didn't get pulled over for being black, I got pulled over because he is a RACIST!

Worthy to Serve, Prepared to Lead!

Types of Acceptance

It should be recognized, before any breakdown to types, that acceptance is treating what happens, the actual event which is the outcome of all the combined previous events, as on balance the best outcome. Acceptance typically contains the concept of approval; it is important to note that the psychospiritual use of the term infers a non-judgmentalmindset. Acceptance is contrasted with resistance, but that term has strong political and psychoanalytic connotations not applicable in many contexts. By groups and by individuals, acceptance can be of various events and conditions in the world; individuals may also accept elements of their own thoughts, feelings, and personal histories. For example, psychotherapeutic treatment of a person with depression or anxiety could involve fostering acceptance either for whatever personal circumstances may give rise to those feelings or for the feelings themselves. (Psychotherapy could also involve lessening an individual's acceptance of various situations.)

Notions of acceptance are prominent in many faiths and meditation practices. For example, Buddhism's first noble truth, "All life is suffering", invites people to accept that sufferingis a natural part of life. The term "Kabbalah" means literally acceptance. Minority groups in society often describe their goal as "acceptance", wherein the majority will not challenge the minority's full participation in society. A majority may be said (at best) to "tolerate" minorities when it confines their participation to certain aspects of society. Acceptance is the fifth stage of the Kübler-Ross model (commonly known as the "stages of dying").

The Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous describes the importance of acceptance in the treatment of alcoholism. It states that acceptance can be used to resolve situations where a person feels disturbed by a "person, place, thing or situation -- some fact of my life -- [which is] unacceptable to me". It claims that an alcoholic person cannot find serenity until that person accepts that "nothing happens in God's world by mistake" and that the condition of alcoholism must be accepted as a given.^[4]

Acceptance (12 Step definition).. To believe as fact...

Self acceptance

Self acceptance is being loving and happy with who you are now. It’s an agreement with yourself to appreciate, validate, accept, and support who you are at this moment.

For example, think of acceptance of yourself like being okay with your house right now. One day you might want a bigger house or you have this dream house in your mind, but there are advantages to your smaller home now. So you can be happy with the house you have now and still dream of your bigger house as a reality later.

Self acceptance leads to a new life with new possibilities that did not exist before because you were caught up in the struggle against reality. People have trouble accepting themselves because of a lack of motivation. Some have the misconception that if you are happy with yourself you won’t change things about yourself. This isn’t true; you don’t have to be unhappy with yourself to know and actively change things you don’t like.

Social acceptance

Social acceptance affects people of all sorts and includes children, teenagers, and adults. Social acceptance could be defined as the fact that most people, in order to fit in with others, attempt to look and act like them. Or sometimes it is a term that refers to the ability to accept or to tolerate differences and diversity in other people or groups of people.

Children and teenagers tend to do a lot of things to try to be accepted among friends, a phenomenon known as peer pressure. Peer pressure sometimes determines how they do their hair and what clothes they wear. A desire to be accepted by those whose friendship the child or teen values also determines the child's openness towards smoking, drinking, swearing, sexual activity, and much more.

Adults also exhibit certain behaviors (and avoid others) out of the desire for the acceptance and approval of their friends. To be one of the group, they might do some of the same things as teens and children (e.g. drinking or taking other drugs).

When it comes to mental disabilities, social acceptance plays a big role in recovery. Social acceptance is important because many people don't understand mental illness so they don't know how to embrace their friends or other people who have a disease, leaving these people with feelings of not being accepted in groups of friends.

Conditional or qualified

A type of acceptance that requires modification(s) of the conditions before the final acceptance is made. For example, a contract that needs to be accepted from two parties may be adjusted or modified so that it fits both parties’ satisfactions. A person has been made an offer that they are willing to agree as long as some changes are made in its terms or that some conditions or event occurs. A business contract that is made from the business to the employer, both parties may change and modify the contract until both parties agree or accept the details in the business contract.

Expressed

A type of acceptance that involves making an overt and unambiguous acceptance of the set conditions. For example, a person clearly and explicitly agrees to an offer. They accept the terms without any changes. A person agrees to pay a draft that is presented for payment.

Implied

A type of acceptance that is not clearly expressed, but an intent to consent to the presented conditions is made. For example, acceptance is implied by demonstrating any act indicates a person's assent to the proposed bargain. A lady selects an item in a department store and pays the cashier for it. The lady has indicated that she has agreed to the department stores owner's offer to sell the item for the price stated on the price tag.

It Takes Two

The Global Poverty Project and Women Deliver are co-creators of a new family planning advocacy campaign, It Takes Two. The campaign aims to raise awareness of, increase demand for, and improve access to family planning information and services around the world. It Takes Two inspires and motivates young men and women in both developed and developing countries to take action in support of improving access to family planning services and information, putting pressure on governments to honor their FP2020 commitments and catalysing significant change in this area. The campaign harnesses the power of social media to “gamify” family planning and encourages young people to take action to support family planning in fun and powerful ways.

Sex Ed: Barriers and Benefits

In many parts of the world, government officials, school principals, teachers and parents are not convinced of the need for sexuality education and are reluctant to provide it, because it is believed to promote sexual activity.

In fact, no study to date has found evidence that providing young people with sexual and reproductive health information and education results in increased sexual activity.

Moreover, comprehensive sexual education classes have been proven to reduce misinformation and increase young people’s skills to make informed decisions about their health.

The United Nations Population Fund has found that some programs delayed initiation of sexual intercourse by 37 %, reduced the frequency of sex by 31 %, reduced the number of sexual partners by 44 % and increased the use of condoms and contraception by 40 %.

What are the main barriers to providing sexual education?

1. Government opposition

Many think that teaching sex education in schools is equal to teaching sexual intercourse education. In fact, sex education is a broad term used to describe education about human sexual anatomy, sexual reproduction and other aspects of human sexual behavior.

2. Lack of skilled teachers

Though teachers express commitment to teaching sex education in schools, some find it difficult and discomforting to teach sex education topics.

What are the benefits of providing a comprehensive sexuality education?

1. Prevention of HIV and STD’s

Comprehensive sex education is an essential part of HIV prevention. It is proved to be more effective in preventing sexually transmitted infections than education that focuses solely on teaching abstinence until marriage.1

2. Prevention of unintended pregnancies

Where teenage pregnancy can get in the way of education and other life opportunities, sex education can mitigate unintended pregnancy. Sex education programs have been proven effective at delaying first intercourse and increasing use of contraception among sexually active youth.

3. Empowerment against sexual violence

Sex education helps teenagers understand themselves biologically and prepare to face the world so that they do not fall victim to sexual predators. It also empowers girls and boys to speak up if their sexual boundaries are violated.

It has long been recognized that countries that have a more open and positive attitude toward sexuality have better sexual health outcomes.

Sexuality education exposes young boys and girls to material that not only reduces their risk of unplanned pregnancy and disease, but also enlightens and empowers them.

To curb high adolescent pregnancy rates, governments can enforce policies that protect and promote women’s and girls’ rights, including the right to comprehensive sexual education in schools.

Email your government, asking them to support the sexual and reproductive health and rights of girls and women in the new development agenda.  

1. Abstinence-only interventions promote delaying sex until marriage with little to no information provided about contraceptives or condom use, whereas comprehensive sexual education provides information on abstinence as well as information on how to engage in safer sex and prevent pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections (STIs)
