2016
Worthey issued the following statement regarding his bid for office:
| “ | We the people have been let down and disenfranchised time and time again by a sorely broken political system. The very thought of voting has turned the stomachs of so many citizens as a result of having bought into this false political dichotomy for far too long. Elections are always shaped into such vastly frightful imagery to incite fear of what apocalyptic downturn "the other side" will bring about. It is time that we look beyond "the left" or "the right" in order to move FORWARD.
We must unify to resolve this country's many issues and to move forward toward a sustainable means of existence that works for everyone, not just for those who can afford to purchase our leaders and our representatives. We must protect the very environment that provides the basic necessities we need for survival and move toward greener energy sources. We must put an end to the outrageous wealth and income inequality that is starving entire families and forcing into homelessness so many people. We must recognize that all people, regardless of background or belief, are equals as human beings and should be treated as such. Most of all, we must bring empathy, understanding, and compassion to our government, our legislative practices, and our everyday lives in general. After all, a government that does not truly work for its people cannot honestly proclaim itself to be "of the people, by the people, and for the people." [6] |
