Earlier today, we received this e-mail from Carlos Manzano:
Hi Lucas,
Today there will be a meeting at the Club, BUT I won't be there.
Jim and I have major differences with two of the candidates running for office. While we have worked together for over 20 years and will continue to do so, this time I will personally support BILL DeBLASIO for NYC Public Advocate ( http://www.billdeblasio.com ) and MELINDA KATZ for NYC Comptroller ( http://www.melindakatzforny.com ).
I urge you to visit their Web sites and support them by signing their petitions, by volunteering, and by voting for them on the DemocraticPrimary on Tuesday, September 15.
I will be taking my call to all communities across New York City. If you're tired of the same bull, this is the time to stop, think, and act by supporting two fantastic candidates for citywide office who will bring about real change. I know you want good people to lead us out of this economic chaos we all face in the city and country, protect our environment, improve education, fight for affordable housing, create jobs, and help the middle and working class stay in New York. And Bill and Melinda are those leaders.
Please let me know via e-mail if you can carry Bill's and Melinda's petitions. I will bring them to your house during a weeknight or over the weekend.
Best regards,
Carlos Manzano
