Hooray For Hassan Alyassin


Remember several months ago when this young man was going door to door in Pomona letting people know of his ambition to run for mayor? He rang the doorbell of the witsendmagazine.com co-founder. So taken was she by his forthright, honest ambition that she gave him ten dollars on the spot and wished him well.
And he made it. He is running for mayor of Pomona. The odds are against his winning this go around and in favor of his trying again.
Who knows. Maybe during his next campaign he'll be able to pay a printer for posters instead of painting them himself on scraps of plywood.
Hassan, we're rooting for you.
