You are warmly invited to a house party to support Howie's campaign for Syracuse Common Council on Monday August 19 at 7:30 PM at the home of Ron Ehrenreich and Sondra Roth at 255 Sherbourne Road in Syracuse. Please bring your checkbook -- donations large and small will be accepted to help elect Howie to the Syracuse Common Council.
Here is what Ron and Sondra have to say about Howie and his campaign, and why they are supporting him by hosting this event:
"Friends and comrades, As you may know, we have worked with our friend Howie Hawkins for many years in many struggles. Howie is a knowledgeable, bright, hard working and outspoken activist for social justice. In 2011, Howie won 48% of the vote for this council seat -- this year, we want to help him win. Howie will be an effective advocate for progressive public policy on the Common Council.
Howie is running a grassroots campaign -- he does not accept donations from corporations or anyone who does business with the city. Howie is a supporter of political action outside of the corporate two-party system. He is a long-time eco-socialist. Howie is running on the Green Party line with the campaign theme of “Tax the Rich. Fund our Schools. Create Jobs”. Howie’s campaign for Common Council is supported by the local Green Party of Onondaga County and by the Socialist Party.
We hope you'll come and help elect an intelligent and hardworking visionary to the Syracuse Common Council. RSVP online at: http://www.howiehawkins.org/house_party_for_howie_hawkins_with_ron_and_sondra
