Philadelphian's we are face with at another budget CRISIS predicament in our city. Last week, Mayor Michael Nutter reverses his campaign candidacy promise of preserving Philadelphian ethics and socio-economic sustainability growth for the City of Brotherly Love constituents. His recent January 1, 2009 Budget cuts plan for severe funding reductions of a wide array of city services, including libraries, recreation centers, anti-violence and family support and youth prevention/development programs funded by the Dept. of Human Services outlines a more intensive involvement for more underlying systemic problems from public safety, poverty, unemployment, crime infested and issues afflicting our children/youth and neighboring urban communities to come. We as voters need to express our outrage about this budget cut decision collectively through written (petition) and verbal expression (calls) to Mayor Michael Nutter and City Council Members, City of Philadelphia Dept, Human Service Officials. And encourage changes that will empower them to make decisions that lead to safety, stability and well being for all Philadelphia residents.

The feedback I am hearing from the neighborhoods is purely heartbreaking. I am currently coordinating with community leaders to find the best way to present our concerns directly to City Council.

The momentum is undeniable. Philadelphia is speaking up against these cuts.

THINK ABOUT THE KIDS MAYOR! They have nothing to do now. Short sighted and dangerous.

Nutter promised better than this. Libraries are the heart of this city and you cant just take that away.

Closing down our rec centers is just gonna lead to more trouble on the streets. These kids need somewhere to go.

This city is already struggling enough. Cutting anti violence programs is basically asking for more crime.
