Seriously, Ed Lee's No Good

Let's break it down:

1
Ed Lee represents the latest layer of Russian nesting doll politics in San Francisco. Willie Brown was the first doll with eight years in City Hall. Gavin Newsom was the next doll as Brown's heir for (nearly) eight years. Now we are supposed to give Ed Lee—Newsom's hidden surprise—the next four to eight years to run San Francisco. Willie and Gavin ran on promises to fix Muni and end homelessness and make Market Street less of a shithole, yet those issues continue to fester and throb—after supposedly being addressed for 16 years. How many more of these dolls does San Francisco have to burn through before these issues are addressed? Isn't 16 years long enough?

Following the Loma Prieta earthquake, San Francisco's waterfront needed transformation. To his credit, Willie Brown helped bring public access back to the Embarcadero, demolishing the Embarcadero Freeway, which seperated San Francisco from the Bay. But his heirs, Newsom and Lee, have traded in the access we gained in exchange for The America's Cup, Larry Ellison's fancy yacht party for the wealthy. The Embarcadero transformation has been made into a grotesque version of A&E's "Flip This House"—San Francisco's waterfront has been "flipped" for wealthy playboys at the expense of a public that doesn't have the endless amount of pay-to-play dollars that Larry Ellison has. Ed Lee is proud of his support for taking the waterfront away from the San Francisco public.

In violation of campaign laws designed to encourage ethical behavior in San Francisco politics, Ed Lee failed to disclose sixty seven contracts he made with private companies to do business with the city. These filings are required to prevent the city from extending contracts to businesses in exchange for campaign contributions. Mayor Lee supposedly decided at the last minute to run for Mayor yet had been signing contracts with companies for months...and not reporting them...to feather his nest. He had to make up for lost time and make some friends with cash quick if he was going to run for Mayor. How do YOU define the word CORRUPT?

Ed Lee's celebrity endorsements sure are flashy! Celebrities and pro athletes like MC Hammer, will.i.am and Brian Wilson, as well as tech industry insiders Sean Parker, Biz Stone and Marissa Mayer. They are all wealthy and influential and popular and none of them are registered voters in San Francisco. These monkeys all got together to push their candidate—Ed Lee—on San Francisco voters. Why do they care who is mayor of this city when they don't even live here? Why would any San Franciscan be wooed into choosing a mayor by people whose interests in the outcome are selfish and self-serving? Sean Parker never even met Ed Lee nor spoke with anyone from his campaign before contributing $100,000 towards his election—billionaire Ron Conway just told him Ed Lee was 'a good investment.'

Alright, Now What?

We have to beat Ed Lee on his own medium. Using millions in donations from out-of-town millionaires and billionaires, he has gamed social media to spread the deceptive message that he represents San Francisco's best interests.
