DAVID NEEDS YOUR HELP!!!

We need YOUR help this weekend to pass out David’s
campaign literature!

This coming Saturday and Sunday we need volunteers
for a lit drop from 11am to 5pm in Carroll Gardens.
We will meet at Carroll Park,just across from the
Carroll Street Station on the F/G lines. Please note:
the trains are terminating at either Jay St/Boro Hall
or Church Avenue (depending on which direction you’re
travelling) where you will catch a shuttle bus to Carroll
Street.  You can come at any time and stay as long
as you can, but let us know that you are planning to
help so we will know to wait for you.

Debates and Controversy
David didn’t pull his punches at Monday night’s Candidate
Debate sponsored by the Carroll Gardens Neighborhood
Association as he, Democrat Brad Landerand Republican
Joe Nardiello answered questions from Carroll Gardens residents
on everything from city budgeting to universal health care.
Although the mood was congenial, when Lander stated that not
only was it inappropriate for a candidate to take a stand on
the issue of voting for a Council Speaker, but that refusing to
compromise on such an issue would make one an outsider and even a
liability, David countered that a candidate who refused to compromise
his principles was not a liability but someone you want to have in office.

Earlier in the day, all three candidates were together for a
photo-op because of a controversy over Mr. Lander’s write-up
in the Voter Guide which 80,000 CD 39 voters received in the
mail last week.  Written in June when the focus was on
the Democratic Primary, Mr. Lander stated that he was the only
candidate with children in Public School.  Although true for
the Primary contest, that statement is factually inaccurate for
the general election where both David and the Republican have children
attending Public School.  We organized a press event to dramatize
that fact in front of MS 51 where David’s older daughter attends.

Watch the Brooklyn Paper Video Debate Online
A few days earlier the three candidates debated similar issues in
a private debate held in the offices of the Brooklyn Paper.
Although the subsequent write-up was not quite the endorsement we
were hoping for, it does give David’s supporters, especially those
of you who’ve missed the debates, to watch him express his viewpoints
in a live video. Click on the link below and then follow the instructions

Candidate Debates Still Upcoming
TOMORROW October 22 at 8 PM
David will go head to head with Democratic candidate Brad Lander at
the Central Brooklyn Independent Democrats (CBID). This is CBID’s
monthly meeting but it is open to the public. The discussion will
focus on David’s strongest point: reform of the Council and the role of
the Speaker.  This topic has generated a lot of press and is a point
where the two candidates strongly disagree, so don’t miss it. The debate
takes place at the Park Slope Methodist Church,
6th Avenue and 8th Street.

Thursday, October 29 at 7PM
Debate Sponsored by the Food Coalition and other community groups. Topics
to be covered include health, sustainability, school food and curriculum,
expanding access to healthy food, social justice for food workers and
consumers and local healthy food sources.The debate takes place at PS 10
(7th Ave & Prospect Ave) in Park Slope.

Events Past and Upcoming
Many of us were on hand Sunday night to hear Jason West, former Green Party Mayor
of New Paltz, NY, speak at Ginger’s Bar on 5th Avenue. He talked about his researches
into the legal ins and outs of performing same-sex marriages in New York State, his
decision to conduct those marriages, and his ensuing legal troubles. He then gave David
a resounding endorsement. Afterwards we were entertained by the trio of comedians known
as the Dykes With Mics. A fun time was had by attendees of all orientations!

Halloween Parade
We need volunteers for the Park Slope Halloween parade to be in the parade and to help
make costumes and change David’s pedicab into a pirate ship!!!  (We’ll park the ’ship
at the end of the route for the whole parade).  The theme is ’spooky seas’ and we want
to collect clean recyclables because we’ll have a polluted sea theme as our ’spooky seas’.
The parade is on October 31 starting at 6:30 from 7th Ave & 14th Street and ending at the
Old Stone House (5th Ave & 3rd Street). Please let me know if you can help by responding to
this e-blast.

And Last But Definitely Not Least:
ELECTION DAY IS LESS THAN TWO WEEKS AWAY!!!
If we get 20 more volunteers, we will be able to cover all the polling sites in District 39.
Even if you can’t work the entire day, please consider coming out for one or both of the most
crucial shifts: from 6 to 9 AM and/or from 5 to 9 PM.
