Why Randy David did not run against PGMA despite his earlier announcement

missunshine:

What GMA’s minions have prepared for her in my district is not an election but a coronation. I cannot participate in this electoral travesty. She will surely take the second district, but the fight is far from over. Since it is now clear that Ms Arroyo’s goal is not just a congressional seat, but ultimately her continuing control of the national government itself, the arena has to be broadened. To stop her, the 2010 electoral campaign must be waged against all known GMA allies at all levels, in favor of leaders who can inspire us to move forward. The nation’s collective voice must now be heard above the fictitious clamor concocted by her mayors and congressmen.

I am committing myself to speak everywhere to bring the message of modern politics to our young voters so they may campaign and vote with conviction. President Arroyo and her people have done enough damage to our values and institutions. It’s time to rebuild.
