Hello!

This is Chris Haulmark, running for US House of Representatives in Kansas’s Third Congressional District.

Today, we had a GREAT visit with the Wyandotte County Democratic Party’s event.

This morning, we all were introduced to local candidates running in this upcoming election on November 7th- that's soon!

Look here- we’ve gathered their paraphernalia.

These were passed out at the event, sharing about themselves and their platforms.

Wow! So many inspiring stories that- wow!- really connected with so many of us in the community.

How cool is that!

Really, yes it is!

So, there we have it.

Now, the topic of discussion among ourselves is: INVESTMENTS.

What’s that?, you may wonder.

Let’s think about it: we are divided into two gigantic categories with huge differences between them.

But first, let us consider what these categories are.

One category focuses more on financial return on investment.

That means one invests what one earns from work productivity, known as “income,” which is funds earned from work contributed to an investment, hoping it will grow over time, resulting in a return greater than the initial investment, enabling the spending of more money.

That’s what financial investment is understood as, for self-enrichment: “profit” in terms of money.

So we understand that.

Here's an example:

Some people love to do activities such as “bank planning,” an example of which is CD, certificates of deposit.

Or, hmm… mutual funds, which are purchased stocks, which return money after profit has been accounted for.

Of course, some investments do fail, meaning the initial investment is wiped out, which can be a big head-whipping blow.

So we understand all that.

Now the second category we consider is called “community investments.”

Which means, for example, the earned money via work income is given away to charity groups and similar organizations.

Those are also known as 501(c)3 entities such as..hmm...schools-

Yes, they can accept financial donations as well.

Police organizations can do the same, as do firemen organizations, which gather money to support various causes that SUPPORT the communities of our country.

Really, if one thinks about it, within the Deaf community, there are so MANY different organizations that depend on these “community investment” donations- yes indeed!

So, many of us Deaf and disabled people tend to donate funds to help support our communities to the best we can, because, wow, the strong community we support has a major financial needs.

And that’s a successful achievement towards supporting future generations of Deaf and disabled people.

Now we recognize what does happen across our country is that differing community groups have their own priorities.

Y'know, my favorite one is the Black community, whom have invested in their Black community- the children whom are ensured support in achieving excellent education, excellent living environments, and excellent access to opportunities, too.

Yes, indeed!

So, that “community investment” category is really cool!

Some people can and do invest in both categories.

Some focus only on the “financial investments”, while some focus only on “community investments.”

Yeah, it happens that way, so as you look around yourselves, people watching, you can assess those who are the ones willing to enable via “community investments,” and those who are willing to only focus profit-return financial investments.

It’s truly a personal choice!

*grin*

Let’s invest in the community along with Chris Haulmark!
