Councilwoman Michele Martinez cancels fundraiser tomorrow night due to Laker game

Maybe the Lakers could use Councilwoman Michele Martinez’ help tonight?

Santa Ana Councilwoman Michele Martinez knows better than to hold a fundraiser tomorrow night – not with the Los Angeles Lakers scheduled to play Game 7 against the hated Boston Celtics, in a contest that will determine this year’s NBA Champion.

So Martinez has announced that she is canceling tonight’s scheduled fundraiser.  Instead, she is asking her supporters to send campaign contributions through the mail.  Click here to download her donation form.

Here is Martinez’ message to her supporters regarding the cancellation of her fundraiser:

Dear Supporters:

I would like to inform you that I have to cancel my upcoming Fundraiser scheduled for June 17, 2010. I would like to encourage you to please send in a contribution to support my re-election campaign. A contribution of $25, $50, $100, $250, $500 or $1,000 to Michele Martinez for City Council 2010, will be critical in helping me wage a successful campaign. I urge you to please respond today to help us continue the journey. Please know I am truly greatful for all your support.

Truly yours,
Michele Martinez
Council Member
City of Santa Ana
