Ed runs Hallwatch and is a Good Guy. He's currently suing the city to make it more open and so more accountable to us, its citizens and residents. He needs our help to put pressure on the city.
He expresses this in more detail in his own words below. He deserves our help. -Jeff ----- Forwarded message from Edmund Goppelt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ----- Date: Tue, 4 Feb 2003 12:26:51 -0500 From: Edmund Goppelt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [[EMAIL PROTECTED]: A Request for Your Help] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jeff, can you post this to the UC listservs, if it hasn't been already? I met with the accountant Rosenberg last Friday. Good guy. Thanks for the referral. -- Ed Goppelt http://www.hallwatch.org Date: Sun, 2 Feb 2003 19:06:59 -0500 (EST) From: Ed Goppelt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: A Request for Your Help To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dear Friend: For some time now I have been deeply frustrated by our City's refusal to release public records. There are certain services I'd love to offer on Hallwatch, but can't because the City simply won't release the records I need. For example, I would like people to be able to look up their polling place and verify their registration on Hallwatch. I currently have four law suits pending against the City to secure the release of various public records. Unfortunately, when it comes to open government Philadelphia is a very tough town. Legal action will not be enough to pry open the City's record books: I need your help. Please take five minutes of your time to tell Mayor Street that you want everybody to have the same the same unrestricted access to our Community's public records that City Hall insiders currently enjoy. You can do so at this web page: http://www.hallwatch.org/faxbank/rtka Public information should be just that: public. I'd like to thank the many Hallwatch users who have supported my efforts to make City government more open and accountable to ordinary Philadelphians. With your help, I hope to soon be able to offer many new services on Hallwatch. If you can't write a letter right now, there are other ways you can support Hallwatch's efforts. For more information, go here: http://www.hallwatch.org/helphallwatch Thanks again for your support! Hallwatch would not exist were it not for its users. -- Ed Goppelt Hallwatch Webmaster ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Jeff Jeff Abrahamson <http://www.purple.com/jeff/> GPG fingerprint: 1A1A BA95 D082 A558 A276 63C6 16BF 8C4C 0D1D AE4B ---- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to the list named "UnivCity."
