Dear Friends,

It's that time again! The election cycle is swinging into (higher) gear.

This Sunday afternoon, join fellow activists and quite a few elected
officials at the home of Diana and Bill Conway for a casual but critical
fund raiser for Montgomery County Council Member Marc Elrich.

Marc brings to public office a rare blend of intelligence, integrity,
commitment, compassion and common sense. I've witnessed Marc's good work
for more than a decade -- as a community advocate, a Takoma Park City
Council Member and now as a County Council Member -- on a wide range of
environmental, social and economic issues.

He digs into the issues, does his homework and bucks political head
winds on tough issues. The stakes in this election are, as always, high.

The County Council is Montgomery County's pre-eminent transportation and
land use authority. It selects the members of the county Planning Board,
and through policies, laws and budget decisions sets the county's
priorities on education, public health, public safety, housing, economic
development, global warming, energy, air quality, habitat conservation,
farmland preservation, watershed protection, and many other issues.

Marc takes no contributions from developers, and he has been one of too
few elected officials who has been willing to speak out consistently and
forcefully against wasteful, destructive projects like the Intercounty
Connector.

This is no mean feat given that Marc serves in a county-wide, at-large
seat on the County Council, in a county where developers, road builders
and their friends have in recent elections all but swamped our elections
with special-interest campaign cash.

Marc's successful 2006 campaign was powered by grassroots energy and
contributions, and with our help, he can win again in 2010 running the
same kind of focused, issues-driven campaign.

Join us this Sunday!

Bill and Diana have generously opened their home for this event, and
we're all hoping for a great turnout and a significant boost to Marc's
campaign for re-election.

There will be plenty of catered food & drink (including local cider,
wines & cheeses), and many elected officials on hand including County
Executive Ike Legget, State Comptroller Peter Franchot, State Attorney
General Doug Gansler, some of Marc's fellow council members, and many
state delegates and senators from across the county.

So lots of elected arms to twist on your favorite topic.

If you cannot join us Sunday....

Please consider sending a contribution to support Marc's important work
on behalf of us all.

Contributions should be sent to: Friends of Marc Elrich

Best,

Greg Smith
