Dr. Joe Mwangi Symmons – California Governor 2010.

If they thought Obama was the Omega then they are in for a thumbing!

America the Kenyans are here to stay. Love us hate us we shall be moving into a position near you. Dr. Joe Mwangi Symmon is vying for the California Gov’s seat. Move over Arnold! Dr. Mwangi is a proven path-finder with quite a CV stretching from back home where he founded Abarn Homes in 1977, a realty company and worked there until 1982, before, founding Panken Insurance, an underwriting firm where he worked until 1982.

His political dalliance begun in 1979. While attending graduate school, he was elected President of the student movement in 1984.

Born and bred in Murang’a, Kenya, Dr. Mwangi reckons his defining moment in life was on June 10, 1973 when he became a Christian and then marrying wife Dr. Alycejo in 1976, with whom they have three children.

This is his story; and his vision for the people of California;

California Governor – 2010.

My name is Joe Symmon and I am running for Governor of California. I am a moral voice of change, hope and destined for greatness.

What is critical to human progress is vision — seeing a future that is achievable and worth attaining. “Without a vision and sound judgment, people perish”. California’s political change is long overdue. And this is our moment to bring that change, to restore hope and reclaim our Golden state for ourselves and our emerging generations.

When I am Governor, I will deal with issues affecting us today with high integrity, wisdom and leading boldly by example.

Our economy will thrive, our schools and teachers will excel, and our
universal health care and environmental systems will work. Static and status quo style of leadership in Sacramento will go. It is time to break the cycle of failed policies and politics. I am a visionary endowed with freshness and new ideologies. The issues that unite us are far greater than issues that divide us. As Governor I will pursue and implement these issues:

Integrity

The Governor will lead by example. The way I carry myself in private will be how I will treat others. Asserting the Golden rule at all decision making process. The immediate result of following the Golden Rule is that I will be treating other people very, very well. “And as you wish that men would do to you, do so to them.” I have personally practiced this rule since my debut into politics in 1979 and during my tenure as a Graduate student president in 1984.

Moral, virtue and family values

I am married to one wife for 33 years. We have raised three biological kids and are now raising almost 200 orphans with a full-time staff of over thirty. We provide them with a home, food, education, clothing, health care. By so doing, we have ignited an unstoppable hope and destiny. Giving them an opportunity for better and responsible citizenry. A Governor ought to rule his house well before he can aspire for public office, and this I have done. Solomon said “when the righteous rule, people rejoice and when the wicked are in authority, people mourn” This is our time to turn the page.

Economy

Ending economic instability requires a true break with the status quo. It will not happen in the course of “business as usual.” My plan is to unite the leaders in Sacramento so that we can have a simple majority rule to pass the budget. Partisanship politics will be a thing of the past. I have no intention to raise taxes. My giving back plan will be rolled out in my first 100 days. California will attract businesses that migrated in the past to return, and existing businesses shall perform better. This will boost the creation of new jobs.

Education

Our high institutions of learning should be well equipped to carry out
research that will advance modern technological and social changes in every sector of learning. We’re experiencing cutbacks in almost every department and eventually affecting teaching profession and trickling down to students’ performance. As Governor, I will employ a team of technocrats and professionals to change the system. Teachers should be paid well and every effort made to motivate and retain them on the job. College students should have sufficient grants to keep them focused more in their studies rather than have them work two or three jobs. Many have snoozed and died on the wheel working multiple shifts.

Environment

We should harness the sun and the wind to produce sufficient energy to run our vehicles and industries. And we have plenty of both here in our golden state. We should reserve and recycle all that water that runs to the Pacific from rainfall and our snow-capped mountains and utilize it to run our technology. Southern California fire season can be a thing of the past if we can use this water to plant trees that will in turn bring rainfalls to change our dry landscape into forests and run arsonists out of business.

Health

Every citizen should have access to affordable and reliable health care. I will guarantee affordable, accessible health care coverage for all Californians. More so for our senior citizens should enjoy their golden years in our golden state peacefully. I wholeheartedly support and would adopt Obama health-care plan.

Immigration

To solve the challenges we are facing in California on immigration issues, I will pursue genuine solutions daily. I will be committed to ensure that immigrants are accorded the same respect and legal status like every one who have come here to seek an opportunity to better their lives. And quoting President Obama “they have come here for the same reason that families have always come here–for the hope that in America, they could build a better life for themselves and their families.” Legal residency for all immigrants shall be my priority.

My sincere Appeal: Your Prayers first, financial support, Your Vote,
mobilizing others to vote for the moral voice of Change, a Voice of Hope –
Our Destiny to Greatness. A win for Dr. Symmon is a win for us all. Thank you for your support.

In 1983, I did undergraduate studies and majored in intercultural studies at Life Pacific College, Los Angeles, California. I proceeded to do graduate studies in Intercultural Studies at Fuller Theological Seminary, Pasadena CA. My doctorate is from SBT-University and Seminary. In 1987 I founded Believers Faith Church. There are currently seven growing congregations.

In 2001, my wife and I bought a 20 acre land to build Jubilee Children
Center. We have transformed almost 200 lives of orphaned children who were roaming in the streets and slums, scavenging for food. We ignited hope, unshakeable foundation and an unstoppable stride to their destiny. A self-esteem and confidence to believe in themselves and that all things are possible.

We have also founded Child of Destiny a (501 c 3) charity and Women in Pursuit of Empowerment (W.I.P.E.) to break the cycle of poverty and eradicate suffering in the lives of voiceless and marginalized kids and families around the globe.

In the last six years, Jubilee Children Center has a fully accredited
elementary school and administration center. The first phase of High school construction comprising of dormitories, computer and science laboratories were completed last spring, 2009.

Construction of a clinic, that will include, an out-patient, HIV/AIDS
testing, mammogram and maternity wing, a multi-purpose hall and a guest house are all halfway built and progressing well.
