Local Action: David Kakashiba for District 2 Council

Dear Friends,

Terry, Lillian, and I support David Kakishiba for District 2 City Council seat. This special election will be a mail-in ballot process, no voting at the polls.

David has proven to be committed to the neighborhoods, while succeeding to create million dollar funds for children and youth services. He has a very good track record as a member of the Oakland Public Schools Board of Education, where his infatigueable efforts resulted in new construction for detriorating schools in Oakland's flatlands.

David is up against candidates who have backing from developers and status-quo leadership. We support David because he works at a grassroots level, relates to his consituencies' needs and issues, and he is looking for avenues towards real change.

We are now collecting donations to his campaign, so that he can get the word out to a district that includes Chinatown, Jack London Square, parts of Grand Lake, Lakeshore, and Oakland Avenue, Park Blvd, Eastlake with Highland Hospital, stretching to 23rd Avenue.

Please send donation of any amount, checks made out to David Kakishiba Campaign,
City Council in the memo section, to 1122 East 21st Street, Oakland, CA 94606.

We want to bundle our donations together and present to David in one lump sum at the end of March early April when we will schedule a reception for him. Our goal is to raise at least $600 to over a 1K, if the generosity is there. If you live or work in District 2, or you have other family or friends throughout Oakland and beyond who could help, please distribute this appeal to all.

In the struggle to create grass roots candidates in the political pipeline that will represent us into the next major elections.

Thanking you in advance for any help you can provide.

* If you donated to David's campaign, let either of the three of us know so that we can track Filipino contributions and will make a point to mention it at the reception to be held in David's honor.
