Just Ask, by Cynthia Fields

Its crunch time people and we only have a few days before we go to the polls and cast our votes for our choice, Amy Lepine for City Attorney.
Now a lot of us have said that we’d be happy to do anything to help, "just ask." We’ve offered to attend or host fundraisers, we’ve offered to walk the neighborhoods passing out flyers and talking about our candidate, "just ask." Some of us have even said we’d wear a lapel button display a lawn sign, "just ask." Well, as a friend of Amy Lepine, and more importantly, as a resident of San Diego who does not want to see anyone else win this election because I failed to follow through on my offer to help. After the elections don’t be one of those who will undoubtedly say, I would have done something if they had just asked.
Today I am asking you to do something. Pick up a few lawn signs at campaign headquarters, place it in your yard, ask neighbors to place one in their yard. Put your support for Amy to work by doing more than waiting for someone to ask you to do something. There is still time and there is still a lot we can do to show Amy our love and support. Let’s do all we can do to put someone in office that we know has a heart and love for all of the people of San Diego.

I’m asking each of you to get on the phone and ask your friends who they are voting for on June 3rd. You’d be surprised that many of them have not yet decided, and your phone call could be the thing that helps them to decide on Election Day. I am asking you to knock on doors and introduce Amy to your neighbors and ask on her behalf for their vote. We need you and we are asking each one of you to do something. It’s never too late and it’s never too little. My prayers go out to Amy as she runs the final stretch of this campaign and I’d like to thank her for running with class, dignity and style. I hope to run into some of you at campaign headquarters, or on the street as we make that final push for Amy before June 3rd. Remember, you’ve been asked!
