| Dear friends, While there are now only six weeks before Early Voting begins, we still have 100% of the campaign left to go. I want to thank those of you who have invested so much of your time, energy, creativity and hard-earned funds into my campaign for Austin City Council, Place 1. Together, we have built an amazing campaign full of diverse supporters. I am so very proud to share with you that just this week, I have gained the endorsements of five additional leading Austin organizations: the Black Austin Democrats, Capital Area Progressive Democrats, South Austin Democrats, Stonewall Democrats and the Texas Environmental Democrats. These endorsements, combined with those of the Austin Firefighters and the Central Labor Council (which represents 23 individual groups), have brought significant momentum from 29 endorsing organizations towards a victory for all of us on May 9th. Come help me celebrate and meet other supporters tonight, March 12th, at the Belmont from 5:30-7:30 at the Belmont (305 W 6th St). All are welcome! Throughout my campaign for City Council, I have been focused on the ways we can position Austin to come out of this economic downturn as a strong economic leader. And, with my background working on economic issues through the Texas Association of Community Development Corporations and at the State Legislature, I know we can achieve this goal. As part of how we achieve long-term economic strength, we must look at ways to dig deep and make investments even in tough economic times. That is what I will do when I am on City Council, and that is what I am doing on my campaign. As we are all taking a hard look at our budgets right now, I hope you will consider investing in our City's future over seeing one movie ($10), eating out one night ($25), or going out for one Friday night on the town ($50). You can invest in my campaign - and our future - tonight at the Belmont. If you can not make it tonight, you can always donate securely online here. You can learn more about my platform, sign up to volunteer, or donate to my campaign by visiting my website, www.VotePerla.com. Thank you again for all of your support. Best regards,  Perla Ps. We'll be celebrating tonight with the heaters on, so I hope you'll join me for a warm reception tonight, Thursday, March 12th, from 5:30-7:30pm at the Belmont (305 W 6th St). Pol. Adv. paid for by the Perla Cavazos Campaign, Jan Soifer, Treasurer. P.O. Box 11530, Austin, TX 78711.
