Ray Nagin’s Mission Impossible?

I came home today to see a picture of Sugar Ray Nagin’s bald head sticking out of my letterbox. He was in a suit and had a pair of aviator shades on. Written next to him in an appropriate font were the words “Mission Impossible.” It was addressed to me and was from a group called the City Council Integrity Committee.

On the back side of the pamphlet was written:

Only your vote against Cynthia Willard-Lewis will make Nagin’s mission impossible.

When you investigate Cynthia Willard-Lewis’ record:

– OPPOSED Inspector General for Council

– OPPOSED dropping the residency requirement for NOPD

– OPPOSED funding economic development inititiatives until developers would “come and see her”

– PROPOSED Nagin’s $30 million trash debacle

– RECEEIVED over $30,000 in Campaign contributions from waste management companies after she pretended to be opposed to the N.O. East landfill.

The group cites as a source the Web site,

Then I popped the seal on the paper and opened it up to see a photo of Cynthia with the words:

Nagin’s Political Mission: To use Cynthia Willard-Lewis for control of the City Council.
Say ‘No to Nagin.’
If they succeed in electing her At-Large, they will elect her replacement next!

Then there is a line and the words “Stop Cynthia Willard-Lewis and her not-so-secret agents.” Beneath that are pictures of Oliver Thomas, Sherman Coplin, Greg Meffert, Nagin and William Jefferson.

I wonder how I got on such a mailing list?
