If You're Going To Talk The Talk

You'd Better Be Ready To Walk The Walk

Lots of politicians talk the talk.

Most talk the talk endlessly, promising us this, assuring us of that, seldom delivering more than mere empty words.

County Legislator Vincent Muscarella has been talking the talk for the past twelve years, and this, without really saying much of anything.

If you're gonna talk the talk, folks, then you darn well better walk the walk.

That's not going to happen when you've been standing in the same place for 12 long years.

Michael Uhl, your next County Legislator in the 8th LD, not only talks the talk. Michael Uhl walks the walk.

And beginning in October, through Election Day [November 6th], Michael will be walking the walk -- literally -- throughout the District, with plans to visit 200 homes a day, discussing the issues that matter most with upwards of 12,000 potential voters.

Wow! 200 homes a day. 12,000 residents. That's more than his opponent has reached out to -- other than by Muscarellagram -- since he took office in 1996.

"This entire campaign is about bringing government back to the people," said Uhl, "and putting an end to keeping government from the people."

So, while Vincent Muscarella runs for re-election for a 7th term (that will be 14 years, ladies and gents), running from the issues, and from his record, Michael Uhl will be walking from West Hempstead to Floral Park, Garden City to Elmont.

He'll be talking to residents about their concerns, and about the future of Nassau County.

He'll be listening to Garden City residents when they lament that their children can no longer afford to live here, and to Franklin Square homeowners when they express concerns for both health and property values, a cell phone tower proposed for their backyard.

You can be sure Michael will be listening to folks in Elmont and West Hempstead, when they complain about the abandonment by town and county, and the broken promises of revitalization and renewal.

"I still believe that this is a government of the people, for the people, by the people," Uhl told supporters, "and not, as it has been, a government of the few, for the few, and by the few."

Watch for Michael Uhl -- and his "door hangers" -- coming soon to a neighborhood near you.

And if you happen to miss Michael when he comes by your house for a visit, give him a call at 516-521-0044.

Think its time for a change in the Nassau County Legislature? Michael Uhl thinks so. How about you?
