My first time...and last if I get killed in the Primary on Aug 24th. Smile

My campaign website is here...you can read up all you like. LOL!

Well this town needs HELP!

As most of you know Titusville is home to Kennedy Space Center.

The Shuttle program is winding down and Obama killed the follow on
Constellation program so it looks like up to 8K people will lose their jobs
locally and then the domino effect will more than likely hammer another
25K people and their jobs.

It ain't looking good here folks...unemployment is over 11% here now.

In case you haven't noticed I've been rather absent from the board as of
late...I've been teaching at a college here and working in the community
to try and mitigate the impact of the "coming doom".

Anyway, I was approached by ALOT of people and encouraged to run for
a seat on the City Council so I threw my hat into the race.

And so I need your help...financially of course. I'd like to ask the board
members to make small contributions to my campaign so I can defray
mailing and postage costs that are coming up shortly.

Yeah I know...it's tight EVERYWHERE with EVERYBODY including for me...
but just imagine...a Rockman Head in Office!!!!

ROFLMAO!

I'm in a 3 way primary next month so I could use your help.

ANY donation is most appreciated....I don't care if its $5! Smile

If its easy for you to make a donation over the net you can do it thru a
Paypal Cart on the "Your Support" page.

OR

you can send a check to:

Patrick Pearce Campaign Account (Make your check out to this as well)
5909 Cheshire Dr
Titusville, FL 32780

Thanks for your support folks!

Regards,

Patrick

That's great! It means you care about your home!

So what's your platform?

"Lower ebay fees?"

"Free rockman guitar aces?"

"Free Boston concert for voters?"

Thanks folks!

BTW, I attached an article that was in Florida Today just recently... most cool. Smile

My platform?

"A Rockman Headcase In Every Home!" cheers

I really could use your support both emotionally and financially.

I'm up against two guys who will probably spend alot of $ but I'm walking
door to door with my literature and asking people for their votes. I'm
actually surprised at how people are so positively reacting to doing just
that. I guess they figure this is someone who really wants the job and is
committed (or SHOULD be). Smile

It costs $.28 just to mail a damn post card out these days and I need to
do a mailing by end of next week...2,500...so I need to pull together
$725!

I expect my campaign postcards to arrive tomorrow...I'll post images later.

My goal is to just survive the Primary and then I'll have until Nov. to pull
a good solid campaign together. Hell, I may even get lucky and get 50%
+ 1 vote, knock both those guys out and the whole thing will be over right
then and there. thumleft

Patrick

PS...A MAJOR THANK YOU to Bill "The Low One" for the first Campaign Contribution...you 'da man! Smile

Yeah, to me not only does it show dedication, but there's a purity and a personal touch by talking face to face and just shaking someone's hand. Anyone can send Email, and anyone with money can buy TV/radio time.

Best of luck Patrick! too bad I don't live in Florida. As for the shuttle program, according to Popular Science the Air Force is taking over flights to service satellites and Space Station. I hope they get NASA back on track though, so if you make it and introduce a bill to get things back up and running I pester the hell out of Congressmen for you!
Peace,
Gremlin
