Tucson Citizen –
“Power poles, trees and debris littered the streets of Tucson after a thunderstorm Friday produced two microbursts, sudden, huge gusts of wind. The more dramatic power pole toppling occurred just north of downtown along North 11th Avenue, from Sixth Street to Speedway Boulevard, Tucson Electric Power Co. spokesman Joe Salkowski said. …”

Hello,

I have the greatest friends anyone could have! On a night with storms, threats of more storms, lightening, and power outages we raised $500. Most importantly, we all had a good time. We had plenty of food and drink.

It never stormed at our TGIF Party! Not a drop.

Here is the reality check. I am in danger of not qualifying for City of Tucson Matching Funds. This would really be a shame. My opponent has raised $15,000 and with the matching funds she will have $30,000 to advertise her campaign. I have raised and spent $4,016. My campaign is debt free, but I have nothing to spend on Yard Signs, etc.

If I am going to run with the Big Dogs, I need you to send me a check now to:

Dan Spahr 2007
6990 East 22nd. St.
P O Box 160
Tucson, Az. 85710

Four months ago I stopped my business to become your candidate full time. I will continue to work 24/7 on this campaign until the election, Nov. 6th. I am making a significant sacrifice in personal income and I need your help to compete in this election. I am asking you to become my ambassador to your friends & family.

If our goal is to be successful and win this election it will take a lot of people doing what they can with support. Send something now before it is too late. I would rather be honest with you today, than making excuses in December. Dan

Hello Friends,

It is Saturday morning (7/21) and Bradley and I have returned from our long morning walk through Civano. Below you will find a short note I sent late last night to my kids back east. The kids are never very far from my thoughts.

Yesterday the ‘Kromko Initiative’ tossed a major monkey wrench into this campaign.

This time next week I will have had my first big fundraiser and I will better understand my chances for qualifying for matching funds. I’m convinced I will be your next Ward 4 councilman. You are a very important key to my success. Please have a look at the ‘new’ web site: www.DanSpahr2007.com. Ask your friends to look at the ‘new’ web site. There you will find an invitation (& map) to next Friday’s fundraising event. Please attend this TGIF and bring friends! Together we will be successful. Dan

PS: nq rttc = never quit, rise to the challenge

Are you interested in what my days are like?

Today I stood outside a grocery store and gave away bumper stickers from 11 to 3:30pm. Fortunately I was in the shade and today it wasn’t to hot. Other times I have been there is has been triple digits. I probably gave away 80 to 100, ‘Support Our Troops’ paid for by DanSpahr2007.com bumper stickers. To date I have given away almost 2,000 at community events etc. Yesterday I stopped at a traffic light across town and saw a car with one of my stickers. What a hoot. Tonight I went on a ‘ride along’ with a police officer who works on my side of town. This was my second trip with them and probably my last. Been there done that. The ride along is something we need to do. Tomorrow is a lunch BBQ for Republicans and tomorrow night one of my Civitan friends is hosting a pot luck dinner party. Sunday after church we are gong to lunch with the pastor, his wife and another couple. Later Sunday afternoon our small group is meeting for dinner. Next Friday night some other Civitan friends are having a fundraising party for me. I really appreciate their efforts on my behalf. I need to raise a lot of money, this is not easy. Actually none of this campaign stuff is easy.

Have you looked at my campaign web site lately? I wish you would and tell me what you think. It has recently been overhauled.

I am enjoying all this activity. It is a wonderful learning experience.

Have a great weekend, Dad nq rttc

Yesterday was a very good day!

First) Mary Ann Cleveland (Rita Ranch) invited me for lunch in her home with her husband, Bob and 3 close girlfriends. When I left at 3pm they were full speed ahead offering to help me any way they could. They immediately started making telephone calls to others enlisting their help. Wow We; that is major!

Second) My web designer came through big time and I have a totally new web site. Please check it out, all criticism welcomed, this way I can keep making the site better.

Thanks for all your support. I am working very hard 24/7 to become your new Tucson City Council member.

Reply to Linda,

Family Values and Community Standards are very near to my heart. This includes neighborhoods where moms and dads want to raise their families in peace. I do appreciate your comments and hope to hear more from you. Also, how could it hurt to have a community function where everybody is invited to meet the ‘neighbor who happens to be a candidate’? I really need help with this. Dan

GOOD NEWS, “The Arizona Bioscience Park will encompass over 65 acres of building and open space located ten minutes south of downtown Tucson. Sponsored by the UA , the Arizona Bioscience Park will provide an important link in the development strategy of the Tucson and Pima County region,” UA publication, January 2007.

I have met with University officials and been told discussions are being held with TUSD to include a (potentially co-operative) high school at the Bioscience Park to encourage students to participate in the sciences.

When elected to Tucson City Council on November 6th. I will make ‘investment in education’ a priority. This is the only way we can increase wages in Tucson.

Interesting. You know Jim Click is a Republican. Why is he supporting Shirley? You should contact him.

Thanks for your contact,

Actually I am very disappointed in Mr. Click. We talked several months ago. I asked for an appointment to visit with him. He told me anyone would be better than Shirley. He told me he doesn’t support individual candidates but he does support the Pima Co Rep Party. This is just after he got back from having dinner with the Queen of England at the White House. Yes, I am very disappointed in Mr. Click. When I called his office yesterday the secretary told me he would be out of town all summer.
