We love having Gary Silbiger on the Culver City Council. He is progressive, liberal and anti-war. He led the City Council to a 3 to 2 vote against the war in Iraq. He listens to the people, is honest and he cares about empowering others to be part of the process. Gary has made a big difference here in Culver City. I recommend supporting Gary for another 4 years, even if you don't live in Culver City.

I'm helping organize a garden party/fundraiser this Sunday for a friend who's doing great work and merits broad support. The party itself should be a blast, with Jackie Goldberg MC'ing, Michelle Shocked and Sheila Nichols providing first class entertainment, and lots of good people supporting Gary Silbiger's run for a 2nd term on the Culver City Council. Personal note: Gary is one of the founders of People's College of Law, from which Antonio Villaraigosa graduated and myself being the first fundraiser and propagandist, in my own fashion. I organized a tour, with Phil Ochs, Holly Near and Mimi Farina and went up and down the coast touting the first, free law school dedicated to providing legal service founder served (read poor and colored) communities by getting their kids through law school. Needless to say, Antonio supports Gary, as does Karen Bass, another friend, now the Assembly Rep of the area. Here's something on the issues: Culver City is an ethnically diverse community with a progressive voting base but has had conservative/moderate Council members focused primarily on the needs of the business community since who knows when. In April 2002, Gary Silbiger - the first and only progressive Culver City Councilmember in generations - was elected to a 4-year term, which also includes serving on the Redevelopment Agency. He is currently the Vice Mayor and probably will be selected as Mayor in April 2006, when re-elected to the Council. Gary's election in 2002 has empowered the community whose voice is now heard. He's also effective - Leading a 3 to 2 majority opposing the invasion of Iraq which brought out hundreds of persons to the City Council meeting; Having the diverse residents of Culver City participate in its first City celebration of Martin Luther King's birthday, recognizing Cesar Chavez's accomplishments on his day of celebration, and participating in the Week of Racial Equality; Meeting the needs of the whole community by leading the way in 2004 for funding of service providers for the homeless population, and is working to provide assistance for victims of domestic abuse; Being the main advocate of youth including increasing after school programs and approving funding for the High School's Peace Concert; and lots more. We need to maintain that voice on the Culver City Council. Hope y'all join me. Ed
