Friends:
I am deeply honored by your continued outpouring of support for my candidacy. We've made great strides in the past several years, building a progressive grass-roots support structure and dealing with local problems. From the "Desert Deathlink." to Blackwater's proposed training camp, we've had our hands full of projects that may look good on someone's resume, but are lousy ideas for our community. We must make sure these developer dreams do not become reality. We must turn away from the old paradigms and move toward a community that is friendly to the environment and energy self-sufficient.
Never has the need for change at this level been so urgent. As we struggle in Iraq and trade words with Iran, we must realize that the core problem we must face is our addiction to oil. To deal with this addiction, we must make serious changes here at home. We must make conservation central to our strategy and recreate our communities to reduce our climate change footprint and reduce or eliminate our dependence on foreign oil supplies. No longer is this just a matter of dollars and cents. This is a national security issue, and true patriots will take up the challenge.
The 77th Assembly district is the largest geographical district in San Diego County and includes about 425,000 residents. The main cities are La Mesa, El Cajon, Santee, Lakeside, Ramona, Alpine, Jamul, Dulzura, Potrero, Campo, Borrego Springs, and a portion of Tierrasanta, Miramar and University City.
I welcome your support and would be honored by your vote.
Warmest Regards,
Raymond Lutz
