Fight for San Francisco

From Newsom '07 Campaign

June 12, 2007

Dear Friends,

It is time to stand up for the City of San Francisco and against short-sighted politics. Supervisor Chris Daly is attempting to cut critical city services from the mayor's budget in order to fund his own political backers. Daly has introduced a motion that would eliminate key city programs without going through the normal budget process.

Please join us tomorrow for a rally on the steps of City Hall at 12PM, on the Dr. Carlton B. Goodlett Place side to show your opposition to Supervisor Daly's plan. Then come testify at the Budget and Finance Committee meeting at 1PM in Room 250.

Supervisor Daly's motion would cut:

$700,000 for the Community Justice Center, which will deal with quality-of-life crimes

$3 million for a vitally needed police academy class

$10.6 million for DPW street repairs and new trees

$1.1 million for a Rec & Park increase in park patrols

$713,000 for the 311 City Call Center

$500,000 for a Small Business Assistance Center

If you believe we need more police to make our city safer -- please join us. If you believe the homeless situation needs a proven solution -- please join us. If you believe we need to make significant investments to repair our streets -- please join us. If you believe it is time to replace our decrepit public housing projects -- please join us.

Here are the details for the rally:

Date: Wednesday June 13

Time: 12:00 PM
Place: City Hall, 1 Dr. Carlton B. Goodlett Place (click here for a map)
RSVP: info@actlocallysf.org or (415) 351-0359 (ask for Aaron if you have questions)

If you can't make the rally and hearing, please call or email your supervisor on the Budget and Finance Committee. Let the supervisors know you want them to restore the mayor’s budget:

Chris Daly -- 554-7970

Bevan Dufty -- 554-6968

Tom Ammiano -- 554-5144

Ross Mirkarimi -- 554-7630

Aaron Peskin -- 554-7450

Please forward this email to five of your friends and ask them to join us at City Hall at noon on Wednesday, June 13th in support of the mayor's budget.

See you at City Hall.

Sincerely,
Brian Purchia
Editor, ActLocallySF.org
