The only thing which can reverse the slide is new city
leadership - and if we don't succeed in the current election we
might not have another chance anytime soon. Tucson has been a wonderful
city to grow up, live and work in but we face problems which the three
Democrat incumbents (Romero, Scott and Cunningham) have been unable
to solve.
I rarely send messages to my email list - let alone actually
ask for money support. With our city at such an important crossroad this
is a critical time is why I must appeal to all my friends and colleagues.
Please give just a bit of support ($10) to three extraordinary candidates
for the Tucson City Council - Kelly Lawton, Bill Hunt and Margaret
Burkholder. Your help will make a huge difference in this
election because your gift will be matched in kind with city
matching funds. Even if you don't live in the city please give now
because once our candidates qualify for the match, the city will match
your gift.
Our candidates are successful members of our community.
Kelly is an educator and the director of Embry-Riddle Aeronautical
University in Tucson. Bill is an engineer with Raytheon and active
in humanitarian projects. Margaret is a certified Arizona Master Teacher
and member of the Vail School Board who helped lead her school district
from mediocre to best-in-state last year.
Each candidate only needs less than 50 of these tiny
donations from residents who live within the Tucson city limits which
will trigger matching funds in excess of $50,000. (Non-resident donations
also double in the cumulative total.) With this money, we will get three
top-notch people elected to our City Council and work with Steve Kozachik
and the mayor on new road projects, put more cops in the streets and
develop more good paying jobs.
Please go to http://tucsonwins.com/.
The website and $10 per candidate (more if you can) is almost painless.
Do it now. The entire process only takes a few minutes and is painless.
(If you can manage only $10, that's OK too.)
If you don't like using your card on line, please mail
checks and your employment info to GOPHQ at 17 W Wetmore, 85705.
Join me in making a very worthwhile gift to the future of our
wonderful city.
Thank you.
