NOT a Newsletter
Rather, a personal political outreach ...
This is not my usual letter. It is, in fact, a political outreach on my part. The great majority of my readers do not live in SoCal and even fewer within the boundaries of the City of LA. Regardless, Marissa Roy’s run for City Attorney of LA matters to all of us. I taught her for three years in high school. My wife taught her in middle school. She was an unforgettable presence those many years ago and we all knew that she would be a force to be reckoned with. She has not let us down. She has already spearheaded several key lawsuits directed at the Trump administration. The City Attorney’s office acts as a legal watchdog for the city and is a very potent weapon for justice in the right hands. Its present occupant seems to be very happy with the status quo. The current City Attorney has been on the record that she won't sue the Trump administration. My wife Jeannie, Martha Brown and I chose to step-up to help Marissa not only because of our faith in her but to fight back. Marissa is a fighter with a moral compass and that is just what we need during this perilous time.
For those of you in town, you are welcome to join us for a meet Marissa event at our house on Sunday, June 8th from 3:00 to 5:00. The address will be provided with a RSVP. For the rest of you, you are, of course, welcome to contribute. All the information that you might need to know is provided below. Please know that I appreciate the simple fact that you read this letter. Also, please be assured that your email address has not been shared in any way whatsoever.
Thank you … back to books …
