Dear PaulThe night of 5/6 May, 2011 was one of the most difficult of my life. Just after midnight, I learned that I had lost out on being your councillor for another four years. I missed out by just 10 votes.That result came at the end of the bitterest fight Brentwood has ever seen. The Tories stooped to new lows in their leaflets. They were so bad that they had to publish an apology for what they had said.I really don’t want to repeat that night. I’m back again, determined to replace that memory with a win on 3rd May, 2012.People are pleased that I am fighting to stop the Tory-led council allowing excess building in the area. They are also shocked that the council has, yet again, published its accounts late and cost residents thousands as a result. But there is a problem.My agent, Ian Gale, has costed my campaign, and tells me we are “a little short” of the funds we need to pay for the campaign we have already planned. So I need your help - now.With your support, we can make sure the Tories don’t buy the result here in Brentwood. They regularly spend twice as much as we do locally.I’m asking you to give £25 — or more if you can. Otherwise, their is a real danger that we will have to cut back our plans on May 3rd.Remember: I was just 10 votes short, last year. A tiny swing will win us the election. Every pound you give — or leaflet you deliver — could make the difference.Thanks, again, for supporting me. We can get the result we want, here,on 3rd May.With Best WishesKaren Chilvers,Brentwood West Liberal Democrat Candidate.
