In 1981 I moved from New Hampshire to New York City. The New York I found myself living in was a far cry from the New York of today. Crime was rampant, the streets were unsafe to walk upon, our home were unsafe from invasion. Preceding Mayor Giuliani were mayors Koch and Dinkins and, by the time Rudy was elected, the city was in a state of utter chaos. He changed all that. Some people make the mistake of seeing Rudy only in the wake of September 11 but he made his mark as a proponent of law and order long before that. Because of what he saw and experienced on that day, including the deaths of many personal friends among the fire and police departments, he is more committed than anyone else in seeing that we are never the target of terrorism again. While he was mayor he had the reputation of being ruthless; well, New York was in need of a formidably strong leader at that time as is our entire country today. I see Rudy Giuliani as the only candidate who will keep out country safe and moving ahead and will do all I can to ensure his election.
