I am asking respectfully and humbly for your assistance in getting my name included in the list of debate participants, moving forward. As you know there is a groundswell of people in this city, including journalists, writers, city officials, and citizens who have heard me speak, who have read my articles and press releases and who have recognized that I have some very valuable and progressive points to make. They, and I believe that my candidacy serves the city by bringing forth the issues that the front-runners refuse to touch.
My actions and words have proven that I am not a “fringe†candidate or an individual with a single pet project. People now refer to me as the “longshot candidate.†I am proud to have earned that title, and I see it as a growing sign of respect from those who care about the issues of this city.
I ask for your help in ensuring a balanced an intelligent electoral race, by involving me in your election coverage, and by assisting me in getting invited to participate in the remaining debates.
