If you want:
- A
concerned citizen who really cares about this city...

who wants to be the Mayor for ALL the people of this city...

A concerned citizen who will listen to the
people of this city and will take this city in the direction the people want it
to go...
Then vote for me!

- You can quote me
-
I
may just be a grassroots guy...
but
what I can offer is to be the open conduit for the people, the citizens of
Colorado Springs.
The people need to be heard and their words must not fall on deaf ears. Each and
every citizen of this community has the right to express an opinion and the
right to ask their community leaders to consider that opinion. Two way
communication is a must. I will not let our citizen's words drop to the floor to
be swept away. I will work to ensure each and every Council person and all those
under the direction of the City Manager hear the words of our citizens. This I
can promise... this and the many ideas I have to improve our community is what I
offer this community. All I ask is for your vote on election day.
Thanks!
Mike
Coletta
I only have one campaign sign and that one is
mounted on top of my car.
I do not like billboards and I refuse to use yard
signs since they pollute and clutter neighborhoods.

I have
been a civil servant for 27 years and
a facilitator for many of those years.
A
Mayor is both!
You may remember first meeting me when I was known
as the "Moose man". I took a month off work to photograph the Springs Moose each
day as he grazed in Monument Valley Park. A number of news stories were done on
me and the moose during that month and a half while he was here. |
