>People Have The Power. I Am The Message.< Are you ready for a new Senator? Join us. People of color in Rhode Island may not even realize it yet, but they control the U.S. Senate race in Rhode Island. For instance, if I win 30% or more of the Providence vote, my chances of taking the U.S Senate seat from Jack Reed are great. A 4th generation Providence resident, my paternal grandmother, Ardele Venter, was born in the City in 1903, her parents migrated from Martinique. My grandfather, Reverend Allen Waters, born in the same MD county as Harriet Tubman, was the original Elder of Church of God and Saints at Cranston and Dodge Streets. My father, Providence Patrolman, Allen Waters, was the first black cop on motorcycle. My mother, Thelma, one of the many Harris sisters who grew up in and around the Codding Court Housing Projects, was head bookkeeper at Wheeler School for 25 years. I have deep roots, and I ask myself constantly, "What have the Rhode Island Democrats done for me and my many diverse people all these years?" Not much. Aren't you finally tired of voting for R.I. Democrats first, and they keep getting to you last? I am the message to send them. From inner city to countryside, I am champion for all the people in Rhode Island. Join us and donate: WatersforSenate.com. Allen Waters for U.S. Senate - Republican Moderate. Commonsense. Mainstream.
