Vancouver is a great city and by working together we can become a magnificent city and a model to the world. As an independent mayor I will be answerable to one group-you the people of Vancouver.

There are many issues to resolve for the new mayor and council. However, I believe the key issue is leadership. I have been in leadership positions for over 40 years. I offer you my commitment to excellence in leadership and most importantly my team building skills. As the mayor of Vancouver I will listen and act on your voices. I will make every effort to base all decisions on social, economic and environmental sustainability. My commitment is to offer all citizens more opportunity, more responsibility and greater accountability.

My family roots in Vancouver go back to 1935. I have a great respect for this city and its citizens.

If I'm elected mayor I plan to build on the work I started with Larry Campbell: make Vancouver a city where citizens feel safe; where nobody is left out; where transit is rapid and business thrives.

I want to move Vancouver forward, not back. And I'll have a plan with real solutions: A plan to increase safety, to make Vancouver easier to get around, to help small business and ordinary homeowners and renters.

I'm passionate about this city. I know how to listen and the importance of compromise, but I can make the tough decisions. It's hard work to make things happen and I'm up to that challenge.

That's my commitment to voters. I'm not in politics to warm a seat. I'm here to help build a city our kids will be proud of. On November 19th, I ask for your support for Jim Green and the Vision Vancouver team.

I am very unhappy with the $220 million Woodward's project. It will have nothing to do with helping the homeless since the 200 low-cost housing units will be for people on the social housing wait list, a list that not one homeless person is on. You would save money buying each of those 200 people two houses, one to live in, the other to earn rental income with.

I am for 86 Southwest Marine Drive being made not into a Walmart but a progressive homeless shelter. During my campaign I will sell anti-homelessness pre-bonds that will go towards the homeless obtaining free monthly bus passes.

My campaign focuses on enforcing the idea of democracy by giving citizens more power to decide what happens in their communities and city by hosting weekly discussions where issues and topics of concern may be addressed and prioritized. I want the best for the city I was born in so I've strategized a list of upgrades necessary for that to happen. Our city needs a real leader with the courage to hear the voice of the people and dedication to finish what is started.

With me as mayor:
-Western Canada we will be ready for major disasters.
-Trouble areas in the city will be restored to beautiful scenery.
-Vancouver will be a safe and fun city for future and existing generations to grow old in.

If you want a serious mayor with ambition, creativity, commonsense and devotion to Vancouver and it's citizens then Vote for Joe on November 19th

PEACE!

As soon as you vote for a politician, according to our traditional electoral system, you are in fact giving up your right to make decisions for the next three year. The elected politician, during the term of office, is empowered to decide for you whether or not you like his/her decisions.

I am offering to change this five minute democracy into a perpetual democracy.

This means developing and implementing a secure, verifiable, computerized, recall and referendum system which will bring true political accountability.

With this new system, you the voter will command, the decisions your political representatives must take on your behalf. The decision on the P3 RAV Line project will be yours not just one of a few politicians.

When you vote for Pedro, in fact you are voting for your right to keep the power to change your vote whenever you change your mind.

Vote for Pedro Mora

I am 58 years old and have been married to Vale for 37 years. Own and operate Power's Flowers at 7105 Victoria Drive. I have 23 years experience in the public service including Manager of Security Services for the City, RCMP Corporal and Clerk of the Court.

Based on my experience with the City, I believe we need "Whistler Blower" protection for staff that report incident of wrongdoing, dishonesty and like matters. Threats and intimidation should not be the norm.

The safety of our citizens should be priority number one and politicians should lead by example. Protect the property owners; don't provide a safe haven for the criminals to inject the proceeds of their crimes.

Business operators should expect and receive prompt response to requests for service. It is time we put people before process and put the service back in public service.

Sam Sullivan is the longest serving Councillor at City Hall, having served for the past twelve years. He has received the Terry Fox National Award for Achievement; the Peter F. Drucker Award for Innovation and was recently invested as a member of the Order of Canada.

Sullivan is the founder of six successful non-profit societies serving some of Vancouver's more vulnerable citizens.

He was the first politician in Canada to call for Harm Reduction as an official element of public policy. Harm Reduction is now a key element of our Four Pillars approach to drug addiction. Sullivan introduced Canada's first 100% smoke free public-places bylaw - banning smoking in restaurants and bars. He created the Blueways Initiative, which deals with Vancouver's development along our waterfront.

If elected Mayor, Sam will fight for distinctive neighbourhoods, restore financial discipline at City Hall and will prioritize social spending for our most vulnerable.

Where will we be in 2010?

As the Olympic Games approach we need to plan for the challenges of the future.

The earth's biosphere, our life support system, is being stressed beyond capacity. Our safety is dependent on our ecological literacy. Cultivating ecological wisdom should be a priority for city council.

Global oil reserves are decreasing and gas prices will continue to rise. We should reconsider highway expansion and focus on walkable communities and efficient, inviting public transportation.

Poverty is a growing problem. Universal access to healthy and affordable housing will result in resilient and equitable communities. We will all be better off if no one is struggling to survive.

Vancouver is at a turning point. This municipal election will have broad repercussions. Local government has a drastic impact on our lives. Let's design a flourishing city to share with the world in 2010.
