It's All About You - note from Amir Omar

All About You!

My service to our City as your Councilman these past four years have always been about one thing - You!

The decisions made, the countless hours worked, the questions asked - were always about you. With every issue, I always ask myself, "What would our residents ask and what would they want?" This election and fighting for your right to vote was only about you and giving you the ultimate voice. You have proven to all what I learned from speaking with you - you want to have your voice heard!

Early voting has traditionally been 50% of the turnout with the other half of our residents voting on Election Day. Yet after 9 days of early voting we have already broken the record for overall turnout with more than 8,300 ballots cast! That is something we should all be proud of.

This Saturday, May 11^th, is all about you. If you have already voted, we could use your help getting others out to vote for us on Saturday. We can use last minute callers or those willing to greet voters at their home precinct. If you haven't voted, it's time to make sure your voice is heard!

Let’s win this campaign together!

Amir Omar on Diversity in Richardson Texas

Amir Omar's answer here is a great portrait of character.

Cease the Discussion

If it wasn’t for the grassroots efforts and left to the city council, we wouldn’t be discussing the mayoral elections on May 11^th, 2013.  If more people were paying attention, our city council wouldn’t be running unopposed.

Amir Omar and Laura Maczka Debate

This was the real mayoral debate.  Laura Maczka and Amir Omar debate allowing the folks in Richardson Texas the opportunity to vote for their Mayor.

All of these clips were from the city council work session January 30th, 2012.

Amir Omar On Election rather than Selection

This plea was made right before the city council of Richardson voted to cease the discussion of selection over election. 

 

See, Richardson Texas had this archaic way of picking their mayor, where, behind closed doors the 7 council members would pick one amongst themselves, a council member, to be mayor.  This was so that the powers that be (behind the curtain) would be able to pick the person that would be the face of Richardson.  If you look at the history of Richardson and go around the city, you can pretty much tell who was a mayor by the number of buildings they have named after themselves.

 

Any way… Amir Omar was the only one on this council to vote for changing the city charter and allow the citizens a vote for our mayor.  It took a lot of character to stand his ground…. Voted down 6 to 1…. Maybe that’s why he won ‘One Man Dallas’…. Whatever you try to label him…. He is all American and his character is all that should matter to folks.

 

 

Richardson Texas Mayor

Leading up to this Mayoral election in Richardson has been a long road... and if you had to hoe it... Just ask Amir Omar. 

If you told me that the only reason Amir Omar spent a year going to council meetings and work sessions was to pounce on an opportunity to change the way the city of Richardson selects their Mayor.... I'd say visionary. 

If you told me that Amir Omar campaigned tirelessly to be a council member only to be asked 'who are you going to vote for mayor if you get elected'.... I would lament.

If you told me that Amir Omar would be the go along to get along and then be a lone when the issue of allowing the citizens of Richardson to elect the mayor came up as a short term action item before the city council, I'd say bravery.

We are the home of the brave! Watch this video.

Will they be Educated Enough

Laura Maczka was voted in because the citizens thought that her position was the mayor position and only because it was Mayor Slagel's old position.

The citizens of Richardson need to wake up.  They do not need to be educated.  We have the government we have because there are only 5% of the people voting.  If a candidate receives 51% of 5%, is that a legitimate win??  The charter should require the election has a 30% or more turn out or it needs to be done over with more media coverage.
