<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;">Subject: MICHAEL McCUE FOR COUNCIL DISTRICT #2 - TOWN HALL TUESDAY <br>> NIGHT IN VALLEY GLEN!<br>><br>> Dear Friends and Neighbors,<br>><br>> (Could you please send out the message below to your lists? <br>> Particularly our Green Party supporters in council district #2 and <br>> the Valley area! Our grassroots campaign needs your netroots <br>> support! Thank you!)<br>><br>> It isn't easy being a grassroots candidate for Council District #2.<br>><br>> The Mayor's City Hall political machine has tossed at least three <br>> big-money candidates into this race, two of whom had to relocate to <br>> have a CD-2 address (carpetbaggers) and two of whom are professional <br>> politicians who are bailing on their current elected positions (job- <br>>
hoppers) and whose possible election could cost us taxpayers <br>> millions in more special election costs.<br>><br>> Last Saturday, at a CD-2 Forum in Sunland/Tujunga, Michael McCue, <br>> Green Party candidate for CD-2, caught one of the big-money, machine <br>> CD-2 candidates telling a whopper of a lie and called her on it.<br>><br>> You can see the video here: <a href="http://ronkayela.com/2009/08/cd2-forum-in-sunlandtujunga-bi.html" target="_blank">http://ronkayela.com/2009/08/cd2-forum-in-sunlandtujunga-bi.html</a> <br>> < /FONT><br>><br>> Ron Kaye's website said "Several close observers credited Michael <br>> McCue, a Studio City Neighborhood Council member, with being the <br>> most impressive (candidate)."<br>> We want the mayor to know that the citizens of CD-2 are fed up with <br>> the status quo of machine politics and that we intend to send a true
<br>> community representative to represent our Valley community.<br>><br>> It's still early, but all the signs are there that Michael's <br>> campaign has a shot at successfully representing the people's true <br>> feelings regarding the culture of corruption at City Hall and that <br>> the voters, fed up with the staus quo, are finding the courage to <br>> send a true grassroots candidate with decades of green/progressive <br>> advocacy experience and years of experience as an elected Board <br>> Member on the Studio City Neighborhood Council, to City Council, <br>> instead of a carpet-bagging, or job-hopping professional politician <br>> who is using our community as a stepping stone to get to some other <br>> politcal goal.<br>><br>> Michael has chaired the SCNC Environmental Affairs Committee for <br>> over a year and has served on the
Government Affairs Committee <br>> for20over two years. He has been an elected SCNC Board member for <br>> almost three years now. His supporters know him to be a progressive <br>> leader who speaks Truth to Power and brings common-sense, core <br>> values, (or Key Values) to this campaign.<br>><br>> Last Spring, the voters came "this close" to placing a Neighborhood <br>> Council Board Member on City Council in CD-5. The momentum is there <br>> for a grassroots win...a win that will send a shockwave through City <br>> Hall and force the Mayor to realize once and for all that we're just <br>> not that into him, and his culture of corruption.<br>><br>> Because Michael is an underdog in many people's eyes (no corporate <br>> money backing him...scruples, you see...) and because we want to <br>> encourage even more Valley Voters to commit
to his campaign, he is <br>> making a personal appeal to all Progressives, Democrats, <br>> Republicans, Green, Libertarians and Independent supporters to be <br>> present at the Town Hall being held this Tuesday night for the CD-2 <br>> candidates.<br>><br>> Since Michael was the only candidate to create any fireworks at the <br>> last Town Hall, we believe he will not disappoint this time as well. <br>> The excitem ent of a live Town Hall will make your day! Here are <br>> the details...<br>><br>> Valley Glen Neighborhood Association invites you to the<br>> COUNCIL DISTRICT #2 CANDIDATES FORUM<br>> This Tuesday evening, AUGUST 18th at 6:30 pm there will be a Town <br>> Hall for the ten candidates running in a special election for <br>> Council District #2.<br>> This is your chance to meet the candidates in person, have your <br>>
