Campaign for Atlanta

To:  The Citizens of Atlanta

Dear Neighbors:
Many of us who live in the City of Atlanta have become increasing concerned about the financial solvency of the city that has led to the furloughs of our police officers and fire fighters. Criminals can hear the news, too, and in recent weeks crime appears to have gotten worse around our homes as police presence in our neighborhoods declines. If that isn’t bad enough, basic city services are not being delivered to us in an efficient and competent manner. We have serious challenges facing our city today, especially in the areas of solvency and safety. Who we elect as the next Mayor will be the person who has to be committed to solving these challenges. As a result of our concerns, a group of leaders and former leaders of neighborhood associations has formed an organization called Campaign for Atlanta. This is a campaign for the city of Atlanta, not for an individual.

CFA wants to do three things:
1. Raise the level of discussion among the Mayoral candidates
2. Ask the Candidates to support CFA’s program which lists the three major challenges facing Atlanta and ways to fix them
3. Build bridges among the neighborhood leaders in as many of the 225 neighborhoods in Atlanta that we can reach CFA is not an organization who wants to endorse a candidate.

The focus of CFA is to hold forums which will require candidates to come and have an in-depth discussion with us about the major challenges facing our city. We are not interested in campaign slogans. We want the candidates to tell us what they plan to do as Mayor, and we want to judge them on their commitment to that plan.

If you have the same concerns as we do, please consider signing this Petition to show your support. Together we can change Atlanta. We need you, please come join us.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
