On Tuesday I started campaigning for city council

[mdmc]

Thats right my friends, mdmc is gonna be the change that I want to see in the world.
My little city is quite a mess - no jobs, skyrocketing housing costs, drugs, gangs, corruption...

People wish me well, but insist that I must be crazy to want to get involved in this political cycle.

Well...

Yes I Am! and Yes I Can!

1. good luck my friend.

try not to spend any money that you don't have, but go, go, go. even if you don't win, political campaigns shape the debate. don't forget to post a link to contribute.

2. will do

Of course the money is tight, but I have a good campaign treasurer and I think we can pull in 10,000. I am keeping myself to $1000 - for all political donations - this year.

4. update

I regret to inform my friends on DU that I was unable to secure enough dem signatures to secure a place on the 9-15-09 Democratic Primary Ballot.
The Election will, more or less, be decided by the 9-15-09 Democratic Primary Ballot.
I will however be on the General Primary Ballot.
I was endorsed by the Working Families Party. Yesterday I officially accepted their nomination.

2011 is the next year that local seats will be up for election. I plan to run again at that time. By then I will be sure to have my ducks in a row, as the saying goes.

Peace and low stress to all..

5. You must have learned some valuable things from this attempt.

And you can put those lessons to use next time around. :thumbsup:
