Dear friends in the struggle,
As you may be aware, I am seeking election to the United
States House of Representatives on December 6. I apologize in advance for the
impersonal nature of this letter. I wish I would have had time to call my
friends to discuss the details of this campaign. I'm sending this
message because I need your
help.
Four days after Hurricane Katrina and two days before founding
Common Ground I made this decision to run for Congress. This
decision was made due to the lack of
government response to Katrina. My hope is that never again will any
disaster turn into such a tragedy.
This is a winnable seat; a seat not just for residents of the New
Orleans area but a peoples' seat for all those who stand for
environmental peace and justice. This goal can only be reached with your
support.
I will provide concrete alternatives to the wars being
waged against our communities at home and to the wars continuing
abroad. Our communities deserve no less. I will continue to
advocate for safe,
affordable housing, the establishment of universal healthcare, and
invest in a comprehensive
storm protection system and wetland restoration. I would initiate
repeal of the so-called Patriot
Act , author legislation to remove FEMA from the Department of Homeland
Security, demand an end to the costly
and senseless incarceration of nonviolent offenders, and advocate for full
funding for our schools. Running a
viable campaign requires funding.
Now with less than three weeks away, the campaign has set
a goal of raising an additional $20,000 by Friday November 28. With your help
we can achieve that end. You can
contribute on the campaign website at www.VoteMalik.com
I also urge you to get active with our campaign. Canvass your
neighborhood and tell your
friends and family. If you are out of town, we need additional volunteers on
election day and the week leading up to the election. You can phone
bank remotely from home or
promote the campaign online.
In closing, I want to remind you that I will work
tirelessly for the people of District 2.
But even if you are not in my Congressional District, your cause is in
my heart; you will have not only a committed advocate, but an office to work
out of on the Hill.
In the struggle for environmental peace and justice,
Malik Rahim
