Dear Friends,

My dream to become New York City’s Public Advocate was not realized. Although you and so many other New Yorkers enthusiastically supported me and financially contributed to the campaign, the majority of voters made a more traditional choice. I greatly appreciate your participation and involvement in my effort.

Dear Friends and Supporters,

Today is Election Day, and polls are open until 9PM.

Over the last months, as I campaigned the length and breath of our great city, one question gets asked repeatedly: Why do I seek the office of Public Advocate?

Norman Siegel has been at the forefront of the struggle for the cyclist’s civil rights since August 2004. This video covers the history of Norman’s involvement with the highly publicized battle of the NYPD against cyclists on the streets and inside the courts.

Tomorrow, Tuesday, September 15th is Election Day and polls open citywide at 6AM. Find your polling location here. Remember, It's not too late to tell a friend about Norman. Visit our website to easily send an e-mail about Norman to all your friends.

George Bundy Smith judicial career began in 1975 when he was named to the Civil Court of New York City. He was a Justice of the Supreme Court of the State of New York from 1980 to 1986, and an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, Appellate Division, First Department, from 1987 to 1992. He was appointed to the Court of Appeals, New York's highest court, in 1992 by Governor Mario Cuomo, and served as an Associate Judge until his retirement in September 2006.

“Norman Siegel has been a champion for the underserved all of his life. He will be a strong advocate for all New Yorkers.” - George Bundy Smith

Now more than ever, we need YOU to help get Norman elected Public Advocate. Just as every vote counts, every volunteer counts. We need volunteers in every borough and in every neighborhood. As we enter the final days of our grassroots campaign, we hope you will get involved by participating in our GOTV activities - now and through Election Day, September 15. We're looking for volunteers to phonebank, join our building captain team, be a poll watcher, send "Dear Friend/Neighbor" letters, or handout campaign literature.

Please call Jen Berkley in our office at (212) 481-5423 or e-mail her at JMBnewsgirl@yahoo.com.
