Merle T. Rutledge Jr endorses Michael J. Muhammad for Mayor of the City of Norfolk, Va 2014!
Merle Rutledge press statement – “Everytime there has been a issue in our community. You have been there. You have stepped up. You have spoke out. You have accepted …responsibility. You have claimed leadership and have made up for the patriotism that we need. I have been away for a long time and I am energize by this news as I return back to my great City. It is a lot of work that we have to do as a community to ensure that this election is our chance to show that we are a voice to reckon with and that our issues will no longer be ignored. However, Mr. Muhammad needs all of our help. Every single one of you hitting like needs to vote. We need to be knocking on doors. We must be building bridges of love not hate. I remember that a police officer said crime is up because the city is getting more black. We need justice that is colorblind. We need city leadership that embraces diversity and not segregation. We vote for equal opportunity and regime change that is motivated by people and not greed. It is about time that we move forward in making Michael J. Muhammad, mayor of the City of Norfolk, Va. I fully endorse his campaign and will do whatever it takes to make sure that the right leadership is put in place.
Merle Rutledge The voice of leadership was silent and it is not today. I am very proud to know that it is not happening today or in the future.
