Happy birthday to our favorite Patch-er. <3 B&B

Whereas, the partying-hearty Democratic machine which owns this town has brought us four years of:

1. unreformed taxes on small business owners;
2. thousands upon thousands of un-reclaimed blighted buildings and vacant lots;
3. unfair valuations yet higher taxes on our homes;
4. a public school system under financial siege and not yet returned to our local control;
5. unmitigated gun and street violence;
6. puff about being the greenest tree-filled city in the country yet unable to pick up the fall leaves;
7. unlimited terms for City Council incumbents;
8. DROP;
9. forcing us to take the City to court to keep it from permanently closing 11 public libraries;
10. complicity in the Democratic national agenda of bailing out big banks, waging costly illegal wars, and whose largest employment plan is for youth by service in the armed forces,

And, whereas 1100 voters (mostly Democrats) voted for me as the Green Party candidate for Philadelphia 8th District City Council in the 2007 election, despite overwhelming odds against my being elected,

I hereby throw my shoe at the Democratic machine by declaring my candidacy as a write-in for the 2011 November general election for 8th District Council.

It’s time the Arab Spring arrived in Philadelphia.

Your laptop with its huge Patch sign is a giveaway. It was great surprise to bump into you this afternoon in Wired Beans. Hope my spouse didn't bother you too much. It's not often we get to see a local superstar !

The first time I came across Mt Airy Patch I spent over 2 hours reading its content. If you consider that I have quite a short attention span, this gives you an idea how good I think your content is. Wonderful work.

Thanks for this, Zach! A refreshing alternative to the traditional community news approach!

Hey Zach-- Thanks! Making and eating food are pretty much two of my favorite activities. :)

ZZZach !!!

The Patch is fantastic! Thanks for all of the information about Mt. Airy.

Zach... you are everywhere! I have Mt. Airy Patch bookmarked on my work computer so I can see your stories everyday. Good job keeping me in touch with the Mt. Airy community.

Zach! Love the site. I will pass it on to our tech-savy members. Look forward to getting to know you :-)

Pleasure to have met you. This looks like a strong contribution to the neighborhood.

Congratulations on your second Patch site, Zach!
