If you have a limited amount of donation funds available this year, consider some of these great reasons that the Goose For Mayor campaign is a worthy cause:

1. Goose's sponsor, Camp Tuolumne Trails, who receives the fundraising bit of the bribes is a wonderful program for kids with special needs and they very much need our help.

2. There is no better candidate from an ongoing marketing option to put Groveland on the map than having a dog for mayor.

3. The other candidates don't really want the job. They won't be doing anything but waving their "we won" flags. Goose plans to work his year as mayor contacting important politicians in Sacramento and DC on behalf of Groveland. The others will simply gloat in their winning, but put no effort into representing Groveland on a local, regional or national scale such as Goose promises to do.

4. Perhaps Victor or Lynn did something special for you, purchasing Goose for Mayor tickets would be a neat way to say thank you. Maybe we picked you up from Yosemite when your car died, perhaps we drove you and your motorcycle to Jamestown Harley Davidson to get parts, maybe we took you to the airport, the hotel, the beach and back again to all those places. Maybe Goose "unofficially" baby sat your children or played with your pets while you enjoyed the evening at the Iron Door Saloon. Oh, perhaps Victor makes your special dish that isn't on our menu every time you come, just...because we like you! Maybe we donated to your own causes...We try very hard not to ask much from our friends, neighbors and guests, but this one we just can't pull off without your help.

Whatever reason touches your heart...Don't delay, please make a donation today!

Goose has a webpage at www.HotelCharlotte.com/goose.html that outlines his campaign and he twitters online at www.Twitter.com/GooseForMayor. Goose offers Paypal for those of you who live far away and can't stop in to support the cause. If you prefer to send a check, make it out to the Yosemite Chamber of Commerce, mailed to:

Goose For Mayor Campaign C/O Hotel Charlotte, PO Box 787, Groveland, CA 95321

With your help, we should be able to take back the lead (rumor has it that we are now lagging the internationally acclaimed Pistol Packing Peggy Sharp by just $1724) If everyone who reads this sends Goose's campaign a few dollars, we stand a chance!
