Thank you all Alabama! I'm so glad to be kicking off the local election campaigns for the Atlasian Future Party here in Mobile! I love this city, and I'm glad that in a few short months, I'll be calling it my home.
But on to the actual pressing matters.
What if I told you that there was a way to help fight poverty, keep the environment clean, and provide everyone with better opportunities? Well, there is a way: Public Transportation. Anything from buses like we have here in Mobile, to the subway systems in Nyman, does exactly what I say.
Back near my home, in Southern Greenville, there's a lot of people who can't find work. It's not that there's a shortage of jobs available. Quite on the contrary. The problem is that they can't get to those jobs because they can't even afford a bike, and you can only go so far on two feet. We need to fight for them, not just because it benefits them, but it benefits everyone. Small businesses can have a larger group of customers if free public transit can take them right to that business' doorstep.
Let's not forget the impact it has on climate change, either. A bus loaded with 50 people burns a heck of a lot less gas than 25 cars with 2 people each in them. Multiply that over the whole city and you have a more eco-friendly and overall cleaner city. Let us not forget that climate change has threatened Atlasia, and especially the South, brutally the past few years. Let us not forget how Harvey devastated Houston such a short time ago, or how New Orleans was brought to its knees by Katrina. Yes, there are other measures to take, but increased public transportation needs to be a part of the equation.
And Atlasian Future candidates know this. Our party has been in favor of increased public transportation for as long as we've existed. Each and every candidate will push for better funding to help expand these systems. The question when it comes to Public Transportation is not "Why?" and "How do we afford it?", it's "Why not?" and "How can we afford not to?"
So Mobile, are you with me in this fight?!
cheers
Thank you all! Remember to vote ATLASIAN FUTURE on the 25th! Now, let me hand this off to your next State Senator...
