Democratic Canidate Farouk Shami Makes Bold Claims Featured

An interesting debate took place Monday night between former Houston Mayor Bill White and Farouk Shami.  Both are Democratic candidates for governor and both see eye to eye on many issues including; abortion rights, solutions to the current economic situation, and a strong opposition to voter identification law.  However, the center of the debate was differences in opinion on the death penalty, taxes on gasoline, the recent deregulation of the electricity in Texas, and alternate energy methods.  Farouk Shami, although having no political background, topped the night off, addressing the issues with confidence and providing bold yet simply put solutions.  Shami claimed if elected governor, he would create 100,000 new jobs as a result of construction of solar panel factories that would provide jobs to the unemployed.  A bold claim backed by a less bold promise of paying the state 10 million dollars of his personal money if he could not achieve his job creation goal.  Although this may seem like a hefty sum of money to one individual, in reality, if he failed to achieve his goal, this money would only amount to 100 dollars a person for every job he promised.

    I believe in the imagination. What I cannot see is infinitely more important than what I can see.

    This type of problems are the big issue of all over countries and political person have no solutions for this issue and a normal people have a solution because a political person never think like long distance issues, they are only looking for their relief and finalize work only according to their instructors.
