"SACRAMENTO, CA - The idea to run for California’s 3rd Congressional District office occurred to Dr Amerish “ Ami” Bera about a year ago. When asked why the thought even struck him, he said it was his concern that the opportunities that he had had in this country as a youngster to exploit through access to education and hard work may not be available to the next generations. He believes that consistently, things that are the responsibilities of the Government, are being dismantled which will make it much tougher in the future to achieve a better life. Even educational institutions like Universities which, he said, should be serving the public seem to be losing sight of their mission and the public schools are getting worse by the day in California. He looked back momentarily on his medical education and could not imagine what had cost him only $ 393 a quarter has catapulted today to several thousands annually."
