Goals

Global Recognition is a Very Abstract and Long Range Goal... but Must Be an Active and Integral Part of Our Overall Plan. Essentially... It Is The Foundation for Most of The More Specific and Short Range Goals. Once We Lose Sight of The "Ultimate" Target... We Lose Direction and Purpose. With that... We Lose Inspiration and Motivation. In The Beginning... It Is Far More Critical to "Work Towards" a Grand Objective... than to Achieve It.

The Reality of The Situation... Is That Cairo can Achieve Global Recognition. It Is within Our Grasp. The Foundation is "Little Egypt" and The Means is The Star Pyramid World Monument... which is Discussed More in The Projects Section.

My Goal & Project for Global Recognition.

I Have a Vision...

And in That Vision... I See a Great Pyramid.

It is Not Only Great in Its Size... but Great In Purpose and Symbolism. It is a Brilliant Star... That In Its Light... Will Guide a Lost and Divided World... to Love, Truth, and Spiritual Unity.

You Do Not Have to Be The Vision...

You Do Not Have to See The Vision...

You Do Not Have to Believe in The Vision...

But for The Vision to Become a Reality... You Have to Believe In Essential Love... Universal Truth... and YOU! And as Ironic as It Is... That is Far More Challenging... than Building The Great Pyramid in My Vision.

Am I Asking for Too Much???

Then Imagine... a Star Pyramid... Greater than The Pyramid of Giza... that Symbolizes Universal Love and Truth and Spiritual Awareness... and The Human Capacity for a Peace and Brotherhood.

What Better Time in World History could This Vision Manifest Itself? What Better Place in The World could This Vision Become a Reality?

When The Implications and Consequence of The Star Pyramid are Comprehended... The Time, Energy and Expense of Building It Becomes a Small Investment Compared to The Tremendous Rewards that It Will Engender. The Value of Such a Magnificent World Monument is Priceless and Immeasurable.

For The Cairo and The Little Egypt Area... The Greatest Value Will Come in The Mutual Community Effort and that Will Result from The Great "Journey" of Planning and Laying The Groundwork for Future Development. It Will Not Only Help Unite Cairo... but Will Unite The Whole Little Egypt Area in a Common Purpose and Vision.

Keep Your Eye On The Star...

Thanks for Your Time and Interest...

As Mayor...

I Will Help Promote & Develop The Little Egypt Area for Tourism and Historic Preservation. Specifically... I Will do All I Can to Unite The Mayors of The Area in a Concerted Effort to Initiate The Planning of The Star Pyramid... and Work Towards Its Completion.

Thanks for Your Support & Vote!
