Hey Philly - VOTE TUESDAY MAY 17!

Found this bike light rubber banded to my handlebars last night from Civilized Bikers. I met the Civilized Biker dude who asked me to vote Jeff Hornstein for City Council District 1 on Tuesday. I checked this dude out and his Facebook is legit.

Candidate #2, Vern Anastasio has a site with ideas that sound awful out of context. I’m talking about “Create an ‘Emerald Necklace’ of Parks along the Waterfront” and “Establish Operation Shovel & Broom”. This dude clearly doesn’t have his messaging together. Does anyone have good things to say about this guy?

The other Democratic candidate is Joe Grace, the Inquirer’s pick with a Pledge to the LGBT Community. Grace is talking about no more SEPTA gender stickers, right to choose and genuine equal rights for all. His language is no BS and he has a good track record with the LGBT community here in Philly. Does this mean he likes bikes too? Probably. Are gay rights and abortion rights more important than bike rights? Uh, yeah!

Committee of Seventy is the place to check out the business for elections tomorrow. They also have a utility to find your polling place. No matter what your views are, you should vote. I’m going to take some time and think about it, because a lot of us here live in Philadelphia. Are you voting tomorrow?
