Mr. Barnes has gain citywide attention with his BAM, IN YOUR FACE approach, and most people in ward 3 feels he is the best solution for the problems ward 3 face, but they would like to meet the man behind the hype.

So we contacted Mr. Barnes to ask why doesn't he appear at many functions or community gatherings, and will he involve himself with the concerned citizens of ward 3?

"The only time people get to see a representative is when it comes time to vote, and I don't want to be like that. I have never shown up at community events before, and if I started now, people would think I'm only there to gather votes like these other loser candidates, like Bronson Williams.

I am always open to a one on one conversation with anyone from ward 3. That way we get to know each other on a personal level without them having to raise there hands at some staged event.

Most areas in ward 3 are severely crime ridden. I want to go into the heart of the problem where the good people live, who want to see their neighborhoods safe. I want to show them I care about them first, but I need their vote to make the change they so desperately need.

Also, having that one on one conversation by me going to them, gives them the confident to talk freely instead of a controlled environment, and we can meet at their convenience instead of some monthly gathering.

I don't plan on having any monthly meeting once I'm elected. I want to interact with ward 3 residents at their own convenience."

IF ASKED TO SPEAK AT A COMMUNITY MEETING OR DEBATE, WILL YOU?

"Of course, but I need for people to know that I am not trying to be politically correct. I speak from my heart and not my mind, so at any given point, I may say something that might hurt some people's feelings. I am not like that clown Bronson Williams who is trying to be someone he is obviously not, and that is why he has never in his miserable life won an election, and never will."
