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.
14 hours a day to get our message out over the next 5 weeks.
With your help we can win this thing!
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.

campaign to become Philadelphia's next City Controller. The Grey
Lodge Pub is one of Philadelphia's best beer bars. Beer Advocate
ranks it as one of the top 50 beer bars in the USA. In addition,
Esquire Magazine named us one of "America's Best Bars". It's taps
featuring a constantly rotating selection of mostly local
microbrews. The Grey Lodge Pub takes its food as
seriously as their beer. Their french fries recently were named Best of Philly by
Philadelphia Magazine.
