Dear Friends,

I’m emailing you live from our “For The Middle Class, For A Change” Tour. That’s right - I can email you from our bus. Pretty cool, huh?

This is my favorite part of the campaign - we’re sprinting across the state, meeting with voters and talking about the issues that matter to their lives.

But we still need to raise the resources we need to take this fight to the finish line in eight days. And that means I have to spend some of my time on the road making fundraising calls from the bus.

So I’m writing to ask for your help in keeping me off the phone and in front of voters as much as possible. Your contribution of $25, $50, or $100 is one less phone call I need to make to ask for money. And the fewer phone calls I have to make, the more events we can squeeze in all over the state.

PLEASE CLICK HERE TO HELP ME STAY OFF THE PHONE!

It’s not that I mind talking to donors - in fact, I enjoy telling them about all the success we’re having. But until we get public financing of elections, we have to balance my time in these last critical days between direct voter contact and making sure we have the resources we need to keep our unprecedented GOTV operation going strong.

In fact, I have another stack of call sheets to get through right now. With your help, maybe it’ll be the last.

WHILE I MAKE THESE CALLS, CAN YOU CLICK HERE AND MAKE A CONTRIBUTION?

You’ve been fantastic throughout this campaign, and I know I can count on you to help us finish strong.

Thanks again for all you do,

Al

Virginia Beach Mayor Meyera E. Oberndorf spent an informative hour on air with WNIS Talk Show Hosts Tony Macrini and Dave Parker Tuesday. The Mayor addressed her role as Virginia Beach Mayor, leadership, and Vision for her next four years in office.

Virginia Beach Mayor Meyera Oberndorf’s campaign is quick-stepping toward November 4. The campaign continues it’s momentum, receiving it’s single largest contribution to date from Stihl Corporation.

Mayoral challenger Will Sessoms received a Cease and Desist letter from Sherryl Crow Attorney Jay Cooper. He had been using her song, A Change Would Do You Good for months in his campaign video. Unfortunately, he never paid-to-play nor did he receive permission from the artist. To quote Mr. Sessoms’ spokesman from a July 3 Virginian-Pilot article; “Using people’s names without having their permission in an election year isn’t very cool.” So Mr. Sessoms, out of tune with intellectual property laws, made a few changes of his own and, removed the video and song from the site.
