ACTION ALERT: Common Cause Ethics and Campaign Reform Kick-Off

From Common Cause NM:
As November approaches, Common Cause New Mexico plans to use the election season to ask that every candidate pledge his or her support for ethics and campaign reforms. Every aspiring elected official should commit to supporting good government, and we intend to make sure that they do.

We're launching this campaign on Wednesday, June 21, with a kickoff event at the home of Common Cause board member Eric Griego in Albuquerque!

Please join us!  Reserve your spot online for this great event:

The event will be hosted by Eric Griego, Michele Rizek, State Senator Jerry Ortiz y Pino, former State Senator Richard Romero, former Albuquerque City Councilor Hess Yntema, Bernalillo County Commissioner Deanna Archuleta-Loeser, Albuquerque City Council President Martin Heinrich, State Senator Dede Feldman, former U.S. Senator Fred Harris, Albuquerque City Councilor Isaac Benton, Albuquerque City Councilor Debbie O'Malley, State Senator Cisco McSorley, Public Regulation Commissioner Jason Marks and Albuquerque City Councilor Michael Cadigan.

When: Wednesday, June 21, 2006, 6:00 - 8:00 PM

Where: The home of Michele Rizek and Eric Griego: 1421 Marble NW (three blocks from Tiguex Park, near Old Town).  Go here for a map.

Suggested donation: $50 per person to Common Cause New Mexico (please note that Common Cause does not accept donations from active candidate committees).

Getting elected officials and candidates for public office to commit to ethics and campaign reform is critical.  Please join me at this important event to learn more about how Common Cause will work for much needed reform during the summer and fall, and how you can get involved in our efforts.

Thank you, and I look forward to seeing you at Eric and Michele's on June 21!

Sincerely,
Matt Brix, Executive Director
