Subject: MICHAEL McCUE FOR COUNCIL DISTRICT #2 - TOWN HALL TUESDAY  
> NIGHT IN VALLEY GLEN!
>
> Dear Friends and Neighbors,
>
> (Could you please send out the message below to your lists?   
> Particularly our Green Party supporters in council district #2 and  
> the Valley area!  Our grassroots campaign needs your netroots  
> support!  Thank you!)
>
> It isn't easy being a grassroots candidate for Council District #2.
>
> The Mayor's City Hall political machine has tossed at least three  
> big-money candidates into this race, two of whom had to relocate to  
> have a CD-2 address (carpetbaggers) and two of whom are professional  
> politicians who are bailing on their current elected positions (job- 
> hoppers) and whose possible election could cost us taxpayers  
> millions in more special election costs.
>
> Last Saturday, at a CD-2 Forum in Sunland/Tujunga, Michael McCue,  
> Green Party candidate for CD-2, caught one of the big-money, machine  
> CD-2 candidates telling a whopper of a lie and called her on it.
>

> Ron Kaye's website said "Several close observers credited Michael  
> McCue, a Studio City Neighborhood Council member, with being the  
> most impressive (candidate)."
> We want the mayor to know that the citizens of CD-2 are fed up with  
> the status quo of machine politics and that we intend to send a true  
> community representative to represent our Valley community.
>
> It's still early, but all the signs are there that Michael's  
> campaign has a shot at successfully representing the people's true  
> feelings regarding the culture of corruption at City Hall and that  
> the voters, fed up with the staus quo, are finding the courage to  
> send a true grassroots candidate with decades of green/progressive  
> advocacy experience and years of experience as an elected Board  
> Member on the Studio City Neighborhood Council, to City Council,  
> instead of a carpet-bagging, or job-hopping professional politician  
> who is using our community as a stepping stone to get to some other  
> politcal goal.
>
> Michael has chaired the SCNC Environmental Affairs Committee for  
> over a year and has served on the Government Affairs Committee  
> for20over two years.  He has been an elected SCNC Board member for  
> almost three years now.  His supporters know him to be a progressive  
> leader who speaks Truth to Power and brings common-sense, core  
> values, (or Key Values) to this campaign.
>
> Last Spring, the voters came "this close" to placing a Neighborhood  
> Council Board Member on City Council in CD-5.  The momentum is there  
> for a grassroots win...a win that will send a shockwave through City  
> Hall and force the Mayor to realize once and for all that we're just  
> not that into him, and his culture of corruption.
>
> Because Michael is an underdog in many people's eyes (no corporate  
> money backing him...scruples, you see...) and because we want to  
> encourage even more Valley Voters to commit to his campaign, he is  
> making a personal appeal to all Progressives, Democrats,  
> Republicans, Green, Libertarians and Independent supporters to be  
> present at the Town Hall being held this Tuesday night for the CD-2  
> candidates.
>
> Since Michael was the only candidate to create any fireworks at the  
> last Town Hall, we believe he will not disappoint this time as well.  
> The excitem ent of a live Town Hall will make your day!  Here are  
> the details...
>
> Valley Glen Neighborhood Association invites you to the
> COUNCIL DISTRICT #2 CANDIDATES FORUM
