The Gomberg Effect!

Weird, or what? Every time Gomberg appears at one of the
Mayoral gatherings, one of the frontrunner candidates disappears.

Several months ago, Gomberg appeared at the Trinity-St.Paul debate. Gomberg sat in Smitherman’s place, as Smitherman was away in China. After his opening statement, then-candidate Giorgio Mammoliti responded: “How am I supposed to follow that?” The next week, he quit the race.

Two weeks ago in Scarborough, Gomberg made an appearance, and Sarah Thompson disappeared.

Last week, at the CBC debates, Rocco Rossi was asked “If not you, who should people vote for?” He responded “Howard Gomberg,” and then he disappeared.

Gomberg says “With time running out, if you give me the opportunity I can still get rid of some of the remaining candidates. Otherwise we are faced with a choice between the terrible, the horrible, and the inconsequential.”

When asked “Who will win the race?” Gomberg responded “I don’t know, but I know who will lose. You, me, and the rest of the city.”

Gomberg has just finished taping an interview with CBC Montreal, the InfoMan program. They are concerned that the madness that has gripped Toronto might be infectious.

THE MYTH OF DEMOCRACY

to the media mavens you know not what you've done
you have caused this disaster and when all's said and done
one will be winner whilst the rest of us lose
you made the choice that we had to chose
between the serpent the cyclops and the cute little prince
you have the chutspa and try to convince
there were none better ? no other choice?
no better vision ?no eloquent voice?
you made the decision right from the start
who'll be the front runner, who wont play a part
you determined for us for whom we should vote
jamming your candidates down all of our throats
and now it's too late the thought makes me cringe
you have crowned one of them and called us the fringe
i weep for toronto, but we will endure
you are forgiven, now go sin no more

CAUTION FEAR VOTE

friends, citizens,voters, lend me your ear
do not succumb to the mongers of fear
the media tells us we are wasting our vote
unless we choose the ones they shoved down our throat
we are forced to accept which evil is less
the terrible or horrible oy what a mess
but there are other choices other voices to hear
the only votes that are wasted, are the votes cast in fear
so i say unto you,when you enter that booth
cast your vote for a much higher truth
weather or not you vote for me
pray for the winner whoever it be

Howard's 180o Campaign - BEST for Toronto!

Mayoral candidate Howard Gomberg reaffirms his 180^o Campaign as best for Toronto

TORONTO – Mayoral candidate Howard Gomberg today reaffirmed his commitment to empower Torontonians to be the best they can be, with his multi-tiered 180^o Campaign that aims to harvest the collective wisdom of the city’s diverse residents and includes giving away part of his salary to keep top candidates on the payroll.

“As mayor, my job would be to bring out the genius of the people of Toronto to make the changes necessary to move the city ahead,” says Gomberg. “I don’t have the answers --WE have the answers -- this is not about my ego, but about being of service to this great city; everyone in Toronto is part of the same family.”

Howard Gomberg’s 180^o Campaign is based on his view that as a city, we need to “do a 180 in our thinking” and has four facets:

· A Breath of Fresh Air – Toronto to go green by 10% increments each year;

· Wisdom Buffet – experts from a wide range of fields conquer the city’s problems;

· City that Shares – mayoral responsibilities would be shared among those most qualified; and,

· City of New Mind – a plan to improve the way people think through inspirational, visionary leadership.

He counts his New Mind platform as the most important in his campaign, citing John F. Kennedy’s “To the Moon” speech as a template for forward-looking thinking. Paraphrasing a favourite Albert Einstein quote (“We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them”), Howard Gomberg believes that “If you continue to do what you've always done, you'll continue to get what you've gotten before.”

Admittedly a former member of the “why-bother-voting” demographic, Gomberg was motivated to seek the Mayor’s chair by a series of well-known events (e.g., air pollution deaths and the garbage strike of 2009) and that he took personally – as a senior, an immigrant and long-time union member – and calls on the voters of Toronto to stand up for the city they love and participate in the political process as never before.
