On April 26, 2011 a special election will be held in the District of Columbia to fill at at-Large seat on the D.C. Council. We call on Bryan Weaver, former candidate for D.C. Council, Ward 1 and former ANC Commissioner to declare candidacy for this at-Large seat. We believe Bryan Weaver would provide an important voice for our city, helping us all move forward together. This is a critical time for the District, and this special election is an unprecedented opportunity to elect a new, fresh, and independent member to the D.C. Council.
There is a movement building in this city to engage in real discourse about our future. We must keep this conversation going in 2011. Bryan Weaver can help lead the charge to change how we govern the Nation's Capital. Help be a part of this movement, join us in asking Bryan to enter the race. We must move quickly, we will need to gather at least 3,000 signatures by February 16.
Declare candidacy for D.C. Council At-Large
Greetings,
I am writing to urge you to enter the race for D.C. Council at-large. There is much work to be done in our city, and I believe your voice would add strength to the call for progress. So many in this city have grown weary of the typical local politics, known for insider favors and big money. I recognize that you represent a fresh approach. I believe in your candidacy and will work to help spread the word. Please consider this as a call to duty for your city and your neighbors. Even if you run and do not win, together we can help change the conversation and set the tone for the future.
[Your name]
