It isn’t worth doing if . . .

Posted on Tuesday, November 3, 2009 in Political campaign

It isn’t worth doing if it won’t change the world.

Every inventor knows the only way to get there is to fail enough times. Failure is a good thing. Working your muscles to failure is what makes them superior; likewise, working ideas to failure is the only way to find out what does work.

I’m running for governor of Oregon because I believe we have the spirit in this state to pioneer new and better ways of living. The experiments I propose on this blog are bold. I’ve spent the past 25 years thinking through these ideas. I am not running for governor on a whim. If any of these ideas prove unworkable, it’s easy enough to try something else. One thing is for sure; if we don’t try and try again we will make no progress.

Aren’t we all progressives here? Guess we’ll find out as this election moves forward.

    Although I live in Massachusetts and cannot vote for the next governor of your great state, I wish Jerry Wilson was running for governor of my state. Oregon and Massachusetts are cut from the same cloth…we are truly progressives. This campaign is not about making money, or ego driven or some self-serving hidden agenda. This man has the energy, desire, and passion to take bold steps that ultimately will make Oregon a better place to live. I believe in this man because he has a proven track record as a business owner and community leader. His willingness to get the job done the right way is something that is missing in our current political climate. Stand up and be counted…Governor Jerry Wilson work to make Oregon that brings new ideas to work….Leadership that works…Jerry Wilson
