Asking/Begging/Pleading for all of our The Barry Stops Here! readers to support this young man and donate and donate quickly.

In order to be rid of Marion Barry once and for all we are going to have to support this young man. He has been doing very well but he needs more support.

From the Congress Heights on the Rise post:

With the primary only 11 days away we are teetering on the cusp of a NEW day for Ward 8. In order to do that we need to rally as a community behind one candidate...our BEST candidate, CHARLES WILSON.CHARLES WILSON (http://www.wesetthetone.com/) needs YOU.

He needs your financial support and your time! Volunteers of all ages are needed at the voting polls on Tuesday, Sept 9th. I am reaching out to ALL my wonderful readers and I am imploring my brother and sister blogs to please get involved and encourage their readers to donate to the Charles Wilson campaign ASAP. Let's raise AT LEAST a $1,000 this week! A donation of even $25 will go a LONG way in driving the campaign! There is $500 donation max PER person. Please dig deep and give what you can spare. This is for the good of the ENTIRE ward. Please make your donation ASAP - time is running out! We can not afford another 4 years with Marion Barry!

The campaign could also use business support. If you work for or own a printing company, a catering company, a transportation company, etc you could provide a VALUABLE service. Please contact the Charles Wilson campaign at ward8forcharleswilson@gmail.com

WE CAN DO IT WARD 8!!! WE SET THE TONE!!!

What exactly is Marion Barry doing for you?

WARD 8
Marion BarryIn: $87,850 ($196,395 total); Out: $119,269 ($194,192 total); Debts/Loans: $0; Cash on Hand: $2,203

The Skinny: A Marion Barry council campaign, if nothing else, is an opportunity to give back for all those opportunities given in the past. Consider the many thousands donated by concerns that got very rich during the Barry mayoralties: for example, the accounting firm Thompson, Cobb, Bazilio & Associates, or Chartered Health Plan, both associated with Barry acolyte Jeffrey Thompson and both benefiting from millions in city contracts. Or take R. Donahue Peebles, who’s become a millionaire many times over as a hotel developer thanks to Barry. Now based in Florida, he donated $2,000 though various Florida-based business concerns. Some other fun names: Former Ward 1 Councilmember Frank Smith ($100), PR consultant and former Barry aide Raymone Bain ($500), schools construction czar Allen Y. Lew ($200), lobbyist and council candidate Michael A. Brown ($100), and megalawyer Donald Temple ($250).

Who’s benefitting from all this largesse? Paid consultants Hakim Sutton, Sandy Allen, Joe Ruffin, and Andre Johnson, as well as a favored cause of the Barry campaign: the Marion Barry Scholarship Fund, which won a contribution of $5,000. (Notably absent from the list: son Christopher Barry, who had been paid last reporting period and has been listed as treasurer on campaign materials.)
