In 2014, the California media
talked about and mentioned rumors about Neel Kashkari (a young, minority republican
with little political experience), to compete with the wise giant Caucasian
Jerry Brown (with two terms of experience in Governor’s affairs and a lot of
organizations’ support and backup from the Democrat Party and the White House).
Therefore, Governor Brown confidently runs the gubernatorial campaign for a third
time without working hard and with no commercial advertisement.
On Neel
Kashkari’s Facebook Page, his cover photo is the picture of Neel with the ax in
his hand and the Redwood background that he used as the commercial campaign at
the primary election. The background is symbolic for the natural California and
Neel’s love of nature. Neel’s ax represents a young republican Abraham
Lincoln’s ax that is similar to Lincoln’s strength in both physicality and
intellect, which changed American history. Describing Lincoln’s early life as
an “axman,” he used his ax to build rail fences. Once he challenged a strong
man in wrestling matches. Similar to Lincoln, Kashkari played wrestling matches
when he was in high school and his first job was bagging groceries.
Both
Lincoln and Kashkari use their axes to chop their opponents. Each chop is a
potential power: the power of risk-taking, competition’s power, hard-working
strength, team-building steadiness, and knowledgeable vigor to contribute to
the society and the United States of America. Lincoln was self-educated to
become a lawyer. Lincoln’s challenging campaigns to get the congressional
ticket and became the sixteenth great president of the United States. Neel held
the master’s degree in engineering and business. During his undergraduate and
graduate years, he bagged groceries and mowed lawn to earn extra money for his
tuition. Neel’s knowledge and hard work helped him become a young rich
businessman. Neel’s risk-taking competes with Governor Brown, the California
democrat experienced politician.
John Henry
is the American legend about an African-American mighty steel driving man who challenged
a salesman who had a steam-powered drill. The salesman declared that the steam-powered
drill was the best to drill the tunnel; none could beat the steam-powered
drill. John Henry won the competition, but he passed away amid the thousands of
people shouting victory. Similar to John Henry, Neel, a young ethnic
background, with the intellectual powerful ax, challenges Governor Brown, with
the democrat Party’s backup and the union’s support, as a steam power drill to
build the train’s system that swallow the millions dollars of the California
taxpayers with the reason that building the train transportation is to create
more jobs for Californians, eliminate pollution, and reduce traffic.
Is Kashkari the California Governor
in November? The answer is depended on you, Supporters. Thank you.
