We finally sent out the press release regarding the office and staff.
our go to guy on petitioning is Sean, but he wishes to be known as:
The Honorable Sean Herman III, Esq. and would like us to avert our eyes when addressing him.
Officially, Sean is our Petition Coordinator.
in other news, California's top court just opened that way for legalizing gay marriage in that state, so hopefully we won't be too far away. Go Cali!

Stopping Shelly!
Hello readers, I think some introductions are in order, since you are reading this blog about me and what I'm doing. My name is Alex, I'm currently working for Paul Newell, Democrat for Assembly, as his deputy campaign manager. I'm keeping this blog to UNOFFICIALLY document our journey through this election process. It'll feature my comments and take on this whole election and maybe some daily tidbits that may or may not be newsworthy/interesting. Alternatively I was hoping this blog could provide you the world wide readers, and possible voters with a different look at local campaign that takes place in a world class city, NYC.
A little bit about my candidate, Paul Newell is a 32 year old community organizer, he's running against Speaker Sheldon Silver in the 64th district that covers the Lower Manhattan. Paul Newell is the first serious challenger Silver has faced in 22 years. We're hoping that by taking down the man who perpetuates the dysfunctional and broken system of "three man in the room", we can take back our government and make it work for the people again. http://newellnyc.org/
It is my second day at campaign HQ, and what a wonderful two days(for us political junkies). It might sound completely boring to some of you that I got ridiculously excited at the prospect of picking up voter registration forms(in Chinese and Spanish, you have to cover everyone!), but you have to realize that the more people we sign up, regardless of who they vote for, more democracy never hurts anybody. We're getting together lists, mailers, and whatever it takes to run a successful campaign, and I'm again ridiculously excited, so stay tuned people, because we're a sleepless campaign in a sleepless city. (b/c we just got a shipment of coffee, so that's keeping everyone up 24/7 esp. Evan, our campaign manager, the man answers his emails all the time! crazy...).
p.s. we're hosting our first public fundraiser at Pianos next Thursday the 22nd. it's Paul's birthday give or take a few hours, so we're all going to celebrate that along with all the other stuff. if you wanna drop by you can get tickets here : http://www.actblue.com/page/pianos
p.p.s. on a personal note, i just returned some book to the New York Public Library (i just got charge 28 dollars for overdue books, blahh), but i can't help feel that maybe Chinatown and Lower East Side could use more libraries, it was so crowded there!
