Let each of us as residents decide to
Make D.C. All That It Con Be
By Saying
Yes We Can!!!

As voters we must act responsibly. First by voting. Second by not leaving it up to outsiders to rebuild and restructure our city. Third by equally supporting all segments within our communities. Fourth. by offering to help our leaders — lead. Fifth, by supporting our youths, and caring for our elderly, disabled and needy. Sixth. by locating and cultivating potential leaders.

Pat Kidd, a progressive alternative in the 1998 election;

• Is Founder and Executive Director of American Women and Associates Against Sexual Harassment. AWAAASH is a grassroots organization created in 1992, to promote equality for women and families at home, school, the courts and in the workplace.

Pat Kidd, is a community activist, experienced in municipal affairs, and serves as a freelance consultant.

• She is an elected Advisory Neighborhood Commissioner (ANC) for 4B04, in the Brightwood Area of Ward 4.
• She is also the Deputy for Women's Affairs and Rights for the D.C. Statehood Party.
• She was a candidate for D.C. Council, Ward 4 in 1996.

Pat Kidd, has over 20 years of federal and local government experience. She has held various positions with the Department of Treasury, Executive Office of the President and Walter Reed Hospital where she performed in management and administrative capacities and was selected to serve on nationally significant intra-government taskforces.

Pat Kidd, while employed by DC's Administrative Services, was called upon by officials including City Council and Mayors Barry and Kelly to implement citywide reforms.

Her contributions include:

• Automating real estate and personal property operations;
• Advising till personnel, manpower, fiscal and management reforms with most being adopted
• She was also called upon to study the deficiencies al the public housing authority and to recommend workable solutions;
• DC Council solicited her lead in correcting constitutional errors in the human rights-employee grievance processes;

Public officials have acclaimed her uniquely qualified, with abilities to detect and correct citywide defects.

Former Council-At-Large, Lightfoot, referred to her us the “Pioneer for Women's Rights In DC”.

Triumphing over adversities, , the Washington Post called her “DC’s Comeback Kid.”

Pat Kidd, has continued to spend the last several years helping to promote implementation of governmentwide “accountability and change”.

Residents’ Standard of Living First

• Put DC residents’ standard of life and community living first
• Protect citizens’ 1st Amendment Right and cultivate the Advisory Neighborhood Commissioners (ANC)
• Restore priorities for families
• Assess the damage to Homerule and create or execute alternative protections
• Make DC “Public Friendly”

Del. Norton during her 4 terms has restricted democracy for DC residents and stuck to her policy of forbidding DC residents to come to Congress to seek redress from state/federal violations.

Execute Bills — Tax/Business Incentives

• Make the DC the first choice for Start-up businesses
• Implementin business tax relief bills
• Implement bills on discrimination due to demographics, race, gender; and disadvantages
• Create incentives for skilled/technical jobs within poor segments in the community

Del. Norton’s Revitalization Package traded in the $600 million plus federal payment for incentives to DC businesses and new homebuyers. At the same time, the hotel industries, small businesses, and taxpayers have been levied with unforseen taxes for a new Convention Center; obsolete before being built and nonexpandable

Public Education #1, Congress’ Fast-track

• Provide experts and fiscal resources to fix the school facilities once and for all
• Halt selling off school properties
• Set goals to make every public school a magnate school
• Remove politics and self interest out of the academic mandate
• Support placing public education as #1 Congressional fast-track priority, through adequate funding for public education at UDC and public schools

Del. Norton, crediting herself with Control Board Appointments; leading to Board of Trustee appointments, has been silent on selling off public facilities quiet on the trustees abuses of power and contract abuses. Voiceless on the created trustee deficit. Actionless after the trustees loss of the civil action to the elected school board.

All Concerned, Team Plan Devoted to Democracy and Revenue Projects to Rejuvenate Residents and the US Nation’s Capitol

• Work with residents, activists, businesses, governments, and the regional authorities on revenue ventures to enhance human and economic development in D.C.
• Fast-track, create economic development through the telecommunications and cabling industries
• Bring the powerhouses, universities, businesses to the needier residents and communities
• Balance public good and interests above private interests/monopolies
• Create a 5 Year Detailed Management by Objectives Congressional Plan laying out missions
• Mandate and fund Government training to lawmakers, corporation counsel, public officials, managers, DC judges on EEO laws, human rights, civil liberties rights and constitutional law
• Instate the Anti Deficiency Act and enact Manger-Rotation Process
• Overhaul the DC Confirmation Process to obtain better managers

Ms. Norton has “circled the wagons” to protect liable city officials and stuck to her policy of forbidding residents to seek congressional intervention and subcommittee hearings. Bills, i.e. H.R. 3396, were introduced To Establish Standards of Conduct for Dept. of Justice Employees, and to establish a review board to monitor compliance with such standards, 3/5/98, by Congressmen Dade and Murtha. Similar bills needed introducing by Del. Norton for DC Police, DC Council, Inspector General, Auditor, the Executive Office of the Mayor, and, specifically, the Office of Corporation Counsel. The Delegate has refused, deferring to DC Council and Homerule. In 1997, the Delegate fought for return of DC’s flawed Confirmation Process without change. Having 4 terms of oversight, the Delegate has failed to execute the Anti-Deficiency Act (ADA) or anything comparable. The Act holds public officials criminally liable for public abuses and overspending.

Promoting Universal Healthcare/Safety

• Promoting public health and safety
• Spawning a collaborative effort from Medicaid recipients, hospital, advocates, care providers and policy makers for outreach to provide universal Healthcare and insurance to all DC residents — (Local) National Healthcare Initiative
• Defining and separating the oversight and enforcement roles of public officials
• Funding for more foot and cycle patrol and take home cruisers for better police presence
