Dear Friend, In eight short days, you have the chance to put my friend, Chaka Fattah, on the path to becoming Philadelphia's next Mayor. But to make it happen, Chaka needs your financial support - today. Please click here to send your contribution of $500, $100, <http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?t=75irs4bab.0.gxpxf4bab.9xemi8bab.6804&ts=S0239&p =http%3A%2F%2Fwww.phillyforfattah.com%2Fcontributions> $50, or $25 right away, so Chaka can get his message to voters in this crucial final week before the May 15th election. All his life, Chaka has been a true champion for Philadelphia's neighborhoods. When blood stained the streets of his community in the 1960s and 1970s, Chaka shared his home with neighborhood teens that his family had convinced to reject gangs and turn around their lives. In 25 years of public service on the local and national levels, Chaka has never forgotten his early life lesson: the key to breaking the grip of violence in our most hard-pressed communities is to replace desperation with hope. It's why Chaka's focused his campaign on ending the poverty that plagues one in four Philadelphians. And it's why he's offered a detailed plan on seizing illegal guns, opening more after-school programs, and giving every Philadelphian the opportunity to get a quality education and a good job. I know something about the big challenges facing America's inner cities. I began my career as a community organizer, working for three years in some of Chicago's poorest, most crime-ridden neighborhoods. Chaka understands that the key to transforming Philadelphia begins with addressing the lack of opportunity that so many families face. To win this election, Chaka doesn't need to match the other candidates dollar-for-dollar, but he does need a strong push this week. Your contribution can make the difference. In my campaign for the U.S. Senate, I faced a wealthy opponent who financed his own election. Early on, the pundits said our campaign didn't stand a chance against his deep pockets and barrage of television advertising. By organizing a first-rate field operation and getting our supporters to the polls, we turned that conventional wisdom on its head. With your help, Chaka can do the same thing on May 15th. Please send the most generous contribution you can, and do it today. Click here to contribute $500, $100, $50, or $25 right now <http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?t=75irs4bab.0.gxpxf4bab.9xemi8bab.6804&ts=S0239&p =http%3A%2F%2Fwww.phillyforfattah.com%2Fcontributions> . With your support, Chaka Fattah will continue his lifetime of advocating for the vulnerable, and bring hope to every neighborhood in Philadelphia. Thank you so much.
