Big Kick Off Fundraiser for Norm Siegel for Public Advocate

Monday, February 25th, 2008, 6pm to 8:30pm

Cafe Deville
103 Third Avenue (at 13th Street)
NYC

My wife and I, along with nationally known verified voting crusader, Marjorie Gersten, already hosted a fundraiser for Norm Siegel...so maybe we can claim the real kick off fundraiser...

Norman Siegel is the ideal candidate for NYC Public Advocate. In essence he has been our public advocate for decades, having been head of the NY Civil Liberties Union, defending the rights of NYC protestors against the 2004 Republican Convention, defending the rights of Critical Mass bicyclists, fighting destruction of Harlem neighborhoods, etc.

You can read more about my impressions of Norman Siegel here.

And you can attend this big, big fundraiser and meet the man himself:

You are cordially invited to join State Senator Eric Adams, Sally Regenhard, Council Member Hiram Monserrate, Carmela Pickney and Ira Glaser in celebration of the 2009 candidacy of Norman Siegel for Public Advocate.

The 2008 Kick Off Fundraiser for Norman will be at Cafe Deville, located 103 Third Avenue (at 13th Street). Tickets range in price: $50 (Suggested Minimum), Advocate $100, Supporters $150, Sponsors $250, Patrons $500, Benefactors $1000, Angels $4950.

Words to live by

[P]overty in the world is an artificial creation. It doesn't belong to human civilization, and we can change that, we can make people come out of poverty and have the real state of affairs. So the only thing we have to do is to redesign our institutions and policies, and there will be no people who will be suffering from poverty. So I would hope that this award will make this message heard many times, and in a kind of forceful way, so that people start believing that we can create a poverty-free world. That's what I would like to do.
