This job is to defend the people against the government, and that is exactly what Norman has been doing throughout his life. If everyone asks 10 friends to vote then we have a very strong chance of winning this low turn-out election, because all of our friends votes will REALLY COUNT!!! Check out these videos that show what a powerful peoples advocate Norman Siegel has been. We must take 10 minutes from our day this Tuesday, September 15th, to vote Norman Siegel into office for Public Advocate. This link has videos and info on Norman advocating for us, including our right to congregate. The city tried to impose a law that no more than 50 people, in this case cyclists, could congregate with out getting permission and a parade permit. Norman Siegel fought back for us! Additionally, see more video and info of Norman Siegel advocating for the people on important subjects such as rent regulations, stop and frisk policies, rent laws, Gowanus Canal, Atlantic Yards, etc...see below. Thanks to the organizations supporting Norman in Tuesday's primary, which include; New York Community Council, Park River Independent Democrats, Village Reform Democratic Club, The Grand Council of Guardians, New York Metro Area Postal Union, Audubon Democrats, Three Parks Independent Democrats, Broadway Democrats, Village Independent Democrats, Brooklyn Democrats for Change Club, Democracy for New York City, Central Brooklyn Independent Democrats. Norman has also received the support of newspapers including The New York Amsterdam News and The Brooklyn Papers, who called him "the only bulldog of the bunch." Thank you so much, Christy I have spent the last several months working my heart out so that NYC will have the civil rights attorney Norman Siegel as there next Public Advocate.

After reading this, I think de Blasio went from 3rd to 4th on my list going below Green. I hope one of my top two make the run-off... Thanks for the summary Ben!
