Hi Lucas,
First, I'm thrilled to announce that Congressman Anthony Weiner endorsed Bob yesterday! "Bob isn't going to the Council to be a business-as-usual politician," said Weiner, the sixth-term representative who grew up in Park Slope, but represents a sprawling Brooklyn and Queens district in Congress. "Bob will work tirelessly to bring jobs back to Brooklyn by helping small businesses, which are the backbone of our economy. ... And he will advocate for true government accountability and reform." Read the full story in the Brooklyn Paper . (To see a list of Bob's supporters, click here .)
This latest endorsement demonstrates that momentum is with our campaign in these critical five weeks before the primary on September 15. We have an important fundraising deadline with the City tonight at midnight. To those of you who have given so much these last few weeks, thank you! We are almost there. However, to keep our momentum going, we need to raise just $7,000 more to take us from now through the primary.
Two weeks ago, Bob announced the kick-off of our "49 dollars in 49 days" fundraising drive. To contribute your $49 (or more!), please click here .
