Brett Mandel; 5 Weeks Left Until May 19th, Phila. Primary Announcement

Brett Mandel; 5 Weeks Left Until May 19th, Phila. Primary Announcement

The May 19th Primary Election is now 5 weeks away, and there is still much to do before the big day. Here are 5 ways you can help my campaign and install the financial "bulldog" we need to end our spiraling tax increases:

1. Sign up to Phone Bank - The best and most effective way to gather support is through direct voter contact. We will be calling voters every day from now until the election to talk to them about the important issues our city faces. Email volunteer@brettmandel.com to sign up for phone banking - pick a time and we'll be ready for you!

2. Volunteer for election day - We need supporters to distribute Mandel literature outside polling places on May 19th. Please email volunteer@brettmandel.com and sign up to work your polling place for the election.

3. Donate - The incumbent controller is expected to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars of special interest money to win this election. We are fighting back one donor at a time, and we need your help. Visit http://www.brettmandel.com/content/make-donation and give $10, $25, $50 or more to help us get our message out!

4. Write a letter - Let your voice be heard! Write a letter to the editor of your local paper or the Big 3 daily papers (Inquirer, Daily News, Metro) and let them know why you are voting for a new city controller.

5. Take it to the streets - If you would like to canvass your local division please email us at volunteer@brettmandel.com and we will get you campaign literature and a voter list for your neighborhood.

Thank you in advance for all your support. I will continue to work 14 hours a day to get our message out over the next 5 weeks. With your help we can win this thing!

I join with all Philadelphia
baseball fans in mourning
the passing of Harry Kalas.
He called the game for me
from my earliest memories
to the glorious 2008
season and even made a lot of bad
baseball sound pretty good. The voice of
summer is gone. Baseball will never
sound the same again.
