hi Marchelle. David D.C.(Legalize-Marijuana) Roach here. Will you be needing any informationabout the campaign - i put the reeferendum up there didnt I? If you have any qyestions you want to ask, please forward them, and i wll have some inteligent answers prepared for an interview, if you will be interested.
I was laying low- under the radar, hoping the democrats would forget to fill out their ballot. I didnt feel like ballor hoping this time- now we have a cntested primary, and i can get my message out. I also made the democrat party pull a "rabbit out of their hats(?) , as well. so now instead of no candidate, now they have 2.
(or more?)
my campaign blogspot is :
http://roach4commissioner.blogspot.com/
As i will be 1 democrat, of #- with a 2 Republican majority, i will be limited in what i may be able to accomplish. Partisan balance is needed on the commission- to represent the presently voiceless.
I Detest the Tea Party- conservative evangelical Republicans, and domestic terrorist radical pro-lifers. and We need to stop them, and vote them out at all levels of government before they get a foothold. We have seen the havoc and mayhem they have caused all across America, and the Voter backlash.
I want to push for union county employees, More funding and staffing for the Veterans Services officer- George Jarboe. removing the 9-1-1 dispatch center window. Improving and expanding county government services for constituents, and voters.
merging the city /county police- into a METRO PD- like in INDY- and eliminating command redundancy; getting new youn blood into the dept's; retiring all the overweight, walking wounded, PTSD police, whipping the rest into phusical standards. - Police dept reforms..
And I will be a vocal advocate for legalzing recreational marijuana. Drug Prohibition is a failed costly policy. Taxpayer and police /court/ jail resources could be put to better use- youth drug prevention, providing start up capital for local entrpreneurs, and other creative re- prioritization. there are over 7400 outstanding felony /fugitive warrants in Allen county.
There are too may possibly illegal foreclosures and sheriffs sales - I would call for a halt- audit the recorders office records for errors, negligence, and possible malfeasance- due to the current national mortgage fraudulent crimianl conspiracy being investigaged by the Justice department.
I willb e a voice for the voiceless Democrats, and non-
republican voters- and under represented minorities- mostly poor, and underemployed like me.
I have been labeled a perennial candidate, and yes- if i wasnt single, and harassed by the police, and overlords, i would have a clean shiny, polished erased record, but thats what happens when a person is trapped in poverty/underemployment, and not part of the old- boys network.
Drugs?what about the prescription drug abuse by adults, and illegal trafficking of their parents drugs in the wealthy suburbs.
so .
I'm not camera shy. I wll have some more formal annoucement planned for a date to be determined. I'm gathering a campaign manager, and Supporters.
I think the citizens f Allen County think all the commissioners do is keep u s safe, and create jobs. well- both are fiction. For a tea party republican to say yay- govt creates jobs- is a socialist; and a liar. . To grant tax abatements to create jobs is redistribution of wealth from the poor to the wealthy burinsees- cop[rorate welfare, and has a dubious record.
the number of jobs created is debatable.
Homeland security? what did we ever do during WW2? the Cold War? the threat of nuclear annihilation by the soviet chinese comunist alliance? a far deadlier threat than a few wild eyed swarthy non- christian foreigners .
We could safely dismantle the fear mongering machine, reduce their budgets, and instead- educate, and coordinate the general citizens- veterans, ; and all the hundreds of public safety workers into an effective civil defense organization.
Nelson Peters, and John McGauley were visibly AWOL on this whole Air Guard Base controversey. In some ways- theres not much we can do- just like navistar. On the other hand- Peters, McGauley, and all ov us need to make a case for keeping those 1200 primary jobs, and the secondary jobs, and the 60+ million dollar payroll. I dont see Mr Tea Party Peters saying cut spending . how inconsistent..
So- thank you for your time,Mrs Michel.
I have a lot of pertinent issues to raise( and a lot of impertinent ones as well). I am available to be questioned on several social media sites, unlike my opponents- who are professional career politicians, and wont answer difficult questions from us lowly voters. ; or accept input, criticism, and so on. I am openly accessible , and a common man of the peole.
I am Navy Veteran, I have 2 college degrees, and I am well read, and Politics is my hobby/sport/ interest.
have a great day.
message me back here, please.
sinceely,
DC Legalize-Marijuana Roach

http://roach4commissioner.blogspot.com/
TOKIN' OPPOSITION
i DONT SEE ANY OTHER CANDIDATES WITH FACEBOOK PAGES, BLOG PAGES, SITES WHERE THEY ARE OUT THERE, AND CAN BE QUESTIONED ABOUT ANYTHING.
I am a liberal avant garde politician- i'm ahead of the curve when it comes to electronic political campaiging; and using social media.
FAMOUS perennial candidates( i'm going for the guiness worlds record! see- winning duh!!)
my name on the ballot is aka/ alias/nickname "mr legalize marijuana"; just as souder was aka Mr drug war. end the wastful, costly drug prohibition, and for the same reasons as the failed experiment with clean living in the 20's..
A perennial candidate is one who runs for public office with a record of success that is infrequent, if existent at all. Perennial candidates are often either members of major political parties or have political opinions that are not mainstream. They may run without any serious hope of gaining office, but in order to promote their views or themselves instead. John C. Turmel is, according to the Guinness Book of Records, the most persistent perennial candidate, having run and lost in a total of 72 elections.

NELSON PETERS- what a joke! sad deluded man-kool-aid drinking/ TEA party swilling, case of KOCH a day- pro-lifer extremist lunatic fringe nutjob..
wonder what peters thinks about RIGHT TO WORK; AND UNIONIZING our hard working, conscientious civil servant COUNTY EMPLOYEES?
what of the over 7400 outstanding felony /fugitive warrants; and stopping all the highly likely illegal foreclosures/sheriff sales?
AND LETS DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE 500 SEX OFFENDERS/BABY RAPERS/ HACKSAW CHOPPER CANNIBAL NECROPHILIAC PEDOPHILES? CANT WE BUY THEM ALL A BUS TICKET TO indy- LET THE state DEAL WITH THEM?
i can rebut everything in this article, from his failure to increase funding, gear, and office space for our important veterans services officer- george jarboe; serving over 33,000 veterans in allen county- and the VERY SIGNIFICANT $$$ THE VA CLAIMS BRING INTO THE LOCAL ECONOMY- to peters failure to even remove the glass in the 9-1-1- dispatch center; to what jobs? where are all the jobs? on paper , maybe- tax abatemnts- corporate welfare- and at what wages?
500 million i deals? wheres the money? and the commissioners role/ govt is negligible- as all the tea party nuts assert. yet- they take credit for this allegedly false assertion? or does govt create jobs? how SOCIALIST!!
failure to pay the city what the county owes on its mowing bill; to the usual argung about money, and the county trying to shirk paying its fair share- to failure to even start merging the city county police into one coordinated command /METRO PD- like in INDY, and other progressive, forward thinking large and medium sized communities across the USA;
failure to adequately fund the county sheriff with the vehicles, and other equipment they need.
AND LOTS OF OTHER FUN STUFF YET TO BE REVEALED..
Peters, who served on Allen County Council from 1991 to 2000 before being elected commissioner in 2004, said his participation in successful economic development efforts – investments that totaled $500 million last year alone – demonstrate his ability to get the job done.
In a statement, Peters said that if re-elected he wants to “continue to help lead economic development efforts, working to move our local wages 10 percent closer to the national average; complete the automation of the permitting processes for businesses and finish the integration of city and county departments where it makes sense.”
Peters noted that he has already played a key role in consolidation of homeland security, emergency communications, planning and other departments. The future of the joint homeland security department is in doubt, however, in the wake of Mayor Tom Henry's recent decision to withdraw from the 6-year-old agreement because of budget concerns.
Peters, who discussed the issue with Henry this week, said he has asked for more details from the city in an effort to find a compromise.
Peters also ran for mayor in 2007 but lost in the primary to Matt Kelty, who later lost to Henry.
Peters represents the 1st District, but all three commissioners are elected at-large.
To date, only one Democrat has filed for the job: perennial candidate David Roach.

WHY ALLEN COUNTY COMMISSIONER?
my name appears on my paperwork filed with the ACEB as"
D.C. (Legalize-Marijuana) Roach
logically- since my last name is "Roach"- might as well cash in on it.. sems the state can fast track anti- labor union busting RTW laws, but a less government, lower tax, , money /resource; jobs creating law- that also is legal in 23 or so states- well- i guess we will never see a reeferendum in Indiana, or even talk of this law.
not if i can help it- since 1977, i and thousands of other loca fort wayne residents have wanted marijuana legal for consenting adults, away from kids, and not having to support drug lords, and rug dealers. we want it licensed, taxes, regulated, civil penaltes for violations, and to grow our own on ur own homes, and 'catle groudns/kingdoms" , for our own consumption, just like beer, wine, liquor, and even tomatoes, roses, peppers, etc..
you know allen county was founded on an April 1st, dont you?1824.. and the first county offices and courts were 2 saloons across a muddy intersection from each other? And most of our locals were drunks, as court records, and history tells..
hI.
dAVID ROACH HERE. INTREPID DEMOCRAT, freedom fighter.
GROUNDHOG DAY, 2012- I filed to be a candidate for allen county commissioner.
why? first- because once more- the allen county democratic Party centrao committee has failed to field any candidates for this fairly important local county office.
the county commissioner- 1 of 3- is similar to both a city mayor, a city manager, and in some respects- the city council as well.
So lets look at what could be accomplished- that isnt being done now- youre fired..!
( its not like any democrat could win county office, because lack of local party organization- what party organization; and the fact that most of the county voters are idiot tea party conservatives, who would never vote democrat , but you got to try..sort of like many one sided lost causes, and battles through history..
first- I personally want to advocate for legalizing recrational marijuana. as a county elected official, elected on a pro-weedd platform, i could much to help the cause.. Legal weed would stop the border war south due to the same reasons as prohibition didnt work, and would take the profit motive right out. We the county taxpayer swould save money- from stopping clogging the courts, the jail, and criminal jsutice system- the countys biggest line itme expense- with harmless stoners, social drinkers, and other minor scofflaws, screw ups, and misfits; and aoolw the county to reallocate its scarce policing resources to lets say- maybe whittle the 7400 or more outstanding felony /fugitive warrants , out there? We could buy bus tickets for all the sex offenders- send them to Indy, or wherever else. ditto for tuberculosis patients. 250,ooo bucks, we could buy them their own island, alomst..
the current incumbent has been AWOL in speaking up to try to save the local A-10 squadron. about 1000 jobs, and million of bucks in federal dollars, and payroll for fort wayne..
Next- a noun, a verb, and 9-1-1. the local 911 dispatch center has languished for decades- since 1996- they have been talking talking talking about merging the city and county operations. they cant even remove the glass window and wall separating the 2 offices in the city county basement.
In FEb-2010- there was light speed progress - mission accomplished- declared by the incumbent, and frequently until May, and then a few times to november- to keep the current sheriff in office vs his opponent- me. I served in an aircraft carrier bridge, combat information center/ intelligence office. I know when we the people are getting kerked around by incompetents, and well, jerks..
Now- they are saying we need more money, more money,more money. for what? we havent seen any progress since 2010, since they declared mission accomplished.. sound familiar?
Right to work- we recently saw the county govt leaders pay the help to buy their votes with our mney- to fre-elect them, of course? I support right to work, and believe the county government should be unionized on a pay scale similar to the city government, and thse county employees who dont want to be represented, can now opt out.
city and county- we have yet to see progress in any progress in meaningful activify in mergin g the cty and county police into a METOR PD, modeled after INDY, and other progressive communities across the USA, who have done this years ago. Of course- we will have to fire the redundant dead wood, put the walking wounded, and cripples out to pasture/retirement, hire some new blood- veterans - mps, etc fress from iraq, afghanistan, who without quasi military jobs, will get into trouble, without something military related to do.. the city police in my opinion needs reforming, and house cleaning.
merging city and county govts- again- we cant even combine any joint operations between city and county redundant functions where buying power would be advantageous. INDY, under dick lugar- mamanged to create unigov in 1968, so unless we repudiate everything lugar accomplished, in INDY, 44 some years ago, we need to get with the times.
seems FORT WAYNE has INDY ENVY only selectivly..?
speaking of merged operations, and combined operations one agency that needs to be cut is the board of healrth, and the health fuhrer, that wacky doctor lady- you know who. seems she has some exaggerated sense of her own importance, yet has cut services, and now we the people have to pay for everything.
which brings me to another related topic- user fees. what are we paying for county government anywaY some kind of welfare program/jobs works program? seems everytime we turn around, we need to pay some user fee, for copies, when documents could be scanned, and e-mailed. public records arent very forthcoming- youu have to fill out a records request for eveyrhing- its all supposed to be publc records on the internet.
for example- the allen county election board- they are very secretive, and user fees, etc- some of them anyway- because this is the gateeway to reforming the system- run for office, and dismantle things from inside, and fix things, from the inside. reform..
so- I dont have a very regard for the current incimbent, he has drank both the TEA; AND THE KOOL-AID- he has become a TEA PARTY cultist; and is an avid supporter of those pesky pro-lifer ( domestic terrorist) . the incumbents zeal for any whack job ordinance, rule, etc put forth by the tea party, the pro-lifers,e tc- is made law tomorrow.. me? NFW..
so without being long winded, i can do the job just fine, without all the crazy lunatic fringe ideas the incumbent has recently embraced..
to be kind..
simply- times change, and the old way of lack of transparency, openness, progressivness, and so on- is out dated, and its time for a change.. and the TEA PARTY, PRO-LIFER, ANTI- GAY PEOPLE, XENOPHOBIC, anti- womans choice, good old boys way of doing things is time for a change..
THE WAR BEGINS..
