To:    

From:  Matt Wolfe  

All of our work was geared towards Election Day, this Tuesday, May 20.
I need your help.  

Election Day is upon us.  I need one last push from everyone.  

I need every Philadelphia voter to march to the polls and vote.  It will be a low turnout election that we can win.  

Please contact everyone you know in Philadelphia and tell them to vote.  Call them.  Knock on their doors.  Email them.  Facebook Message them.  Text them.  However you can communicate with them, do so.  Redundancy is a good thing, because they may not listen the same way you do.  There are Facebook people and Twitter people.

Tell them about me.  Direct them to my website, www.Wolfe.org, which tells people about me and my campaign.  I have gotten great media coverage.  The best was the endorsement of the Philadelphia Inquirer.  Send them the link AND reproduce the endorsement itself, which is reprinted below.  The link is:

Remind them that ANYONE can vote in the special election of City Council.  Democrats, Republicans and independents.  Remind them that it is button # 201 and placed on the top right-hand side of the voting machine.

And remind them to vote NO on Question #2.  Keep the "Resign to Run" provision in the city charter. City Council members should not be able to collect their full six-figure salary while they don't do the job you elected them to do because they are spending their full time running for the job they'd rather have.

 
Regardless of outcome, I think you for your support and friendship.
 
Sincerely,

 
Matt Wolfe

Best choice for city is Matt Wolfe

 

Bill Green's decision to leave City Council for the School Reform Commission left a void. His emphasis on fiscal issues as an at-large councilman put the interests of the whole city first.

 

Fortunately for voters, one candidate in Tuesday's special election to finish Green's term is well-prepared to fill that void immediately: MATT WOLFE, an attorney with experience in city and state government who can do more than talk about cutting taxes and bringing back jobs.

 

Wolfe is no political naif. But the ward leader and chairman of the University City Republican Committee would let ideas rather than partisan politics dictate his priorities in trying to make Philadelphia a better city.

 

The same could not be said for his principal opponent, Ed Neilson, who as a state legislator has accomplished little other than to carry water for the city's Democratic machine. After telling the Inquirer Editorial Board how important public education is to him, Neilson could not recall how he voted on an important sales-tax extension for schools.

 

Also running is Libertarian candidate Nikki Alan Poe, a stand-up comedian who would like to legalize marijuana and abolish the Parking Authority.

 

Voters should choose Wolfe to improve city government.
