VOTE - VOTE - VOTE

Campaign season is winding down and as I tell jurors in my closing statement before presenting them the case "my job is almost done, but your job is just beginning." East Point, my job as a political candidate is almost over. It has been a life changing adventure! In an effort to get our message out, we have canvassed all Wards on foot meeting our neighbors, participated in political forums, attended neighborhood association meetings, mailed out brochures, talked to reporters and bloggers and contacted citizens by phone. We have done all that we know to do in an effort to facilitate CHANGE in East Point. We have been extremely well received by East Point residents. My heart and spirit have been bolstered by the out poring of love and support from this community. Thank you for your kind words of support, generous donations to our campaign, and willingness to place yard signs on your property. Most importantly, the best advertising is through word of mouth and I thank you for supporting our campaign by telling your family, friends and neighbors that ours is a campaign dedicated to working hard for the people of East Point.

My job as a candidate is almost done, but for us to move East Point forward to be the great city that we know it can be, YOU must now do your job. Please, on November 3rd gather your family, friends and neighbors and support our campaign by casting your vote for K. ERIC MORROW.

Although our campaign end is near, it is far from over. We will continue to be on the streets until the last vote is cast on November 3rd. It is also not too late for you to participate. If you have any time on election day, please consider joining us on the streets in front of polling locations. Also, please consider calling five friends and making sure that they exercise their right to vote. With your help we will be victorious on November 3rd and beyond.

Again, thank you East Point. I am humbled by you generosity and support.
My best,
Eric

COUNTDOWN TO NOV. 3rd ELECTION

We have been extremely busy in these last days of the election getting our message out to as many citizens of the East Point community as possible. We have been on the streets, on the phones, knocking on doors, at neighborhood association meetings, at community events, at public forums...and if we have not visited you yet, please give me a call and allow us to meet you in person. We had a wonderful time at the Jefferson Park Tour of Homes on Sunday October 11th. Thank you Jefferson Park for all of the love and support! On Tuesday, October 13th we attended a Forum held by the Concerned Clergy of East Point, the SCLC and my Fraternity Brothers - the Brothers of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc. We thank Dr. Robert Threatt for the opportunity to participate and allow our message to be heard. On Saturday, October 17th, we attended "Meet the Candidates" held at the East Point Christian Church. Thank you Maxine Davis for the invitation and allowing us mingle with other candidates and meet the wonderful citizens of East Point.

I would like to thank all the supporters of my campaign! If you believe in our campaign, please call 5 people in our neighborhood and spread the word. With your help and continued support, we will be victorious on November 3rd.

I would also like to thank Brian for sending me a the cutest picture of his son Grayson holding an "Elect K. Eric Morrow" balloon at Destination East Point. We appreciate all the support. I feel a special obligation to Grayson to make East Point the best possible city in which to grow up. Look for Grayson's picture on the blog in the near future.

Finally, we NEED VOLUNTEERS to assist us on Monday, November 2nd and election day Tuesday, November 3rd. If you can find any amount of time to stand with us as we campaign on these days it will be greatly appreciated. As always, you can contact me at 404-643-4740.

It has been a wonderful journey and I look forward to working hard for East Point if you give me the pleasure of representing you on our City Council.

My best -
Eric

DESTINATION EAST POINT - A SUCCESSFUL DAY

We had a fantastic day meeting new friends and neighbors on Saturday at the 5th Annual Destination East Point. Parts of Main Street were blocked off for the festival. Festival participants included: churches, schools, bands, artists, businesses, politicians and of course there were great food vendors. It was a beautiful day with the sun bearing down and a gentle breeze blowing. Our day started early as we set up our table and got ready to meet the citizens of East Point and get our message out. A huge thank you to Mayor Macon and Kevin Hudson who saw us sitting in the sun and so generously brought over a tent to help shield us. It made a world of difference. Thank you also to the volunteers who came and helped us pass out campaign materials or who just showed up to show support. Bobby, Christine, Mike, Cory, Stacy, Renata, Lona and Melynee you guys are the greatest! We met and talked with many residents who graciously volunteered to assist with our campaign by placing yard signs at their homes or agreed to walk the streets with us. Our candy bowl and "Elect K. Eric Morrow" balloons were both great hits with the kids! The kids crowded our booth and it was great seeing them walking around the festival with our balloons! Joel, this was a great idea for which you deserve all the credit! I must also compliment the parents of our East Point youth. It was wonderful to see so many families of all types enjoying the day with their very well behaved and well mannered children.

If you missed Destination East Point this year, you must make sure to put it on your calendar for next year. It is a wonderful event which showcases the best of our beautiful city.

The campaign is in full swing. We have less than a month until election day. Campaigning has been one of the most challenging and wonderful experiences of my life. With your help, we will be successful on November 3rd and beyond!
