Come meet, greet, and support Norman Siegel for Public Advocate.

Marjorie Gersten, Joy Romanski (Corresponding Secretary for Central Brooklyn Independent Democrats), and I will be hosting a fundraiser for former executive director of the New York Civil Liberties Union (1985-2000), Norman Siegel, who is running for NYC Public Advocate. I can think of no one better suited to be our Public Advocate than Norm Siegel.

Essentially, Norm has already been New York's unelected Public Advocate for years, standing up for the protesters against the Republican Convention and standing up for the rights of all New Yorkers when no one else seems willing. Norm Siegel's credentials go WAY back. He even spearheaded the NY State campaign for to impeach Richard Nixon!

We will host a fundraiser for Norm on Sunday, January 6th, 4:00 to 6:00pm at Marjorie's house, 50 Willow St, in Brooklyn Heights. For those who don't know her, Marjorie is a nationally recognized advocate for verified voting and a long-time grassroots advocate. Suggested Contribution: $25, though again, the main point is to have a chance to meet Norm. Drinks & Refreshments will be served. Please RSVP to Theresa at 212-448-6271 or NYCNormanSie_at_aol.com
