Candidates Statement for the At Large Reston Association Board Seat 2010- Rod Koozmin and a cure for depression!

Well today I got four signatures on my petition for the upcoming Reston Association board race. I still have to the first of Febuary at 5:00. Most people signed in the frigid temperatures not really interested in my positions in the election.

Candidates Statement for the At Large Board Seat 2010- Rod Koozmin
To be published and must contain each a maximum of 150 words other wise the election committee will chop off last words
Qualifications: I sharpen scissors and knives at farmers markets and hair salons. Scissors and knives, our most basic appliance can in use become dull and unusable. By restoring them to usefulness instead of throwing them away or leaving them in a drawer it saves the cook, hairstylist and consumer time and money. A knife that cuts instead of tears food is a joy to use and a hair scissor for example that cuts rather than slides or folds hair is not only just better but can prevent hand injuries. If elected I would hope to bring this same resourcefulness to the Reston Association. I would like it to be a joy for the citizens of the Reston Association to be able to use and to perform their will with less expense fulfilling Robert Simon’s vision of the best place on the planet a person can live, work and find recreation.
Goals: In order to be a community it is important that Reston have lines of communication that goes both ways. Unfortunately in the past we have had mostly institutional type information from the Reston Association which generally makes it seem like a hierarchy. I would like to change that by having weekly printed newspapers coupled with an internet newspaper that would be singularly devoted to Reston. It would allow citizen to citizen communication and citizen to the RA board communication so that the board could then hear and implement the needs of its citizens. It must be self supporting which would help Reston and its merchants. I would favor more decisions being voted on in referendum votes WITHOUT board input and I will never vote for expensive feasibility studies without a clear mandate from the people of Reston. I am here to work for you and would appreciate your vote.


Later that day I sharpened 6 scissors at a new place that had called me. I sharpened 6 scissors and got the cell phone numbers to text or the email addresses and will follow up to see how they are cutting. One was a Hiraki.

Later on the way home I stoped by Nestor Gonzolez who has figured out how to stop depression and anxiety by claping your hands and praising God and saying it is good. Nexter was a veritable fountain of helpful imformantion and says it's all in the bible. Write him at Nestor Gonzolez ,
