HOW TO BEEF UP YOUR "No JWA Expansion!" RESUME

Nearly everyone running for election in Newport Beach or Costa Mesa says John Wayne Airport is their city's number one problem - a beach city version of the national campaigners' Iraq.

What is a candidate to do without any proven track record of action on the city's number one issue?

Don't be left out in the political cold.

You need not have
* Supported giving $3.6 million of NPB city money to the Airport Working Group
* Contributed to "No on Measure F" or W". Why waste your money when George Argyros and the city did it all for you?
* Voted for Jim Silva.
*  Used Ontario Airport instead of JWA to help your neighbors.

JUST HIRE US TO AGGRANDIZE YOUR PRO-EL TORO EFFORTS. *

To keep up with the demand, the El Toro Info Site http://www.eltoroairport.org offers these cost effective packages:

1. "JWA No, ET Yes" FIGHTER PACKAGE $1,695 ($1,000 cash and no questions)

Your name will be inserted into a made-up El Toro Info Site article about the growth of South County and why El Toro is needed, including one obviously irrational statement about you by an ETRPA city NIMBY of your choice. Larry Agran $50 additional due to high demand.

We will create one letter to the Editor of the Daily Pilot signed by you and post it to our Early Bird News section along with simulated companion pieces by Shirley Conger and Donald Nyre. 200 words (Note: NIMBY counts as one word the first time only.). Suitable for copying to a campaign piece.
Select theme:
1. Close JWA,
2. Cap JWA against future expansion. "10.8 and lock the gate"
3. Newport Beach should own JWA.

A T-shirt proclaiming "LAX Expansion No, El Toro Yes" gifted to AWG political consultant David Ellis by Mike Stevens (click for picture of the shirt) plus 8x10 glossy photo of you wearing the shirt and shaking hands with Ellis. Not shaking hands $100 extra.

A slightly used "No on the Great Tax - No on W" lawn sign for use at your house during the upcoming city council elections.


2. JWA EXPANSION KILLER PACKAGE $2, 995 (Available for 100,000 frequent flyer miles)

Everything in the "JWA No - ET Yes" Fighter Package plus

Your image will be faked into a photo of a pro-El Toro rally at the County Hall of Administration.  Specify preferred gender, race, ethnicity and T-shirt size.

A "Just the Facts" coffee mug and 2-hour visit to a Costa Mesa Dunkin-Donuts hosted by Gary Simon. For only 1-hour, add $27.95. 15 minutes, add $49.95.

A charter bus ride from Inglewood to Orange County, donated by "some rich guy with an expensive watch." Specify bagel or croissant snack.

A 10-minute light saber duel with Len Kranser ("South County's Darth Vader") and a certificate saying you won.


3. ANTI-JWA LEADER $24,995 - YOU CAN AFFORD IT!

Everything in the JWA Expansion Killer Package plus

One letter of praise from Bruce Nestande, repeating his mantra that "the people in Los Angeles and Riverside should be able to not allow Orange County residents to fly out of their airports,' or should be able to impose a surcharge on Orange County passengers and cargo for using their airports" (LA Times, February 24, 2002).  Nestande's letter will state that you've earned the right to be let through for free.

150- minute picnic lunch with Charles Griffen and Russ Niewiarowski near El Toro for an explanation of the V-Plan with one Polaroid photo. Specify vegetarian or pork.

Your signature faked into one cartoon published by the AWG. Submit your own crude effort or choose from
