Oh look what Tom Mackaman is sending out from the Democratic Party.

   I'm writing to ask for your support.  As you may know, the Democratic 
Party, in attempt to keep Socialist Equality Party candidate Joe 
Parnarauskis off the ballot, has attempted to qualify the signatures of 
over a thousand legally-registered voters from our nominating petitions.

   Among those signatures is yours.

   This is an attack not just on our democratic right to appear on the 
ballot.  It is also an attack on the rights of those who signed our 
petitions, such as you, and an attack on the rights of everyone in this 
district to have a choice on the ballot.

   I was hoping that you would be willing to make a statement protesting 
the attempt to disqualify your signature, which does in fact match 
corresponding information from voter registration rolls.

   Also, if you would be available, we're going to have a press 
conference on Monday, and we'd love it if you could come.

   Please let me know.


   Best,
   Tom
