Take a Stand for Kent
And Defeat the Recall!
Please join us in defeating the recall of Kent City Council members Jack Amrhein, Michael DeLeone, Rick Hawksley, Heidi Shaffer, and Tracy Wallach. The recall is not warranted. It sends a negative message about our City. The taxpayers have to foot the bill. And the recall could jeopardize important city projects and neighborhood improvements. Let's keep Kent moving forward!
The Recall Election is held Tuesday, January 13, 2009. The Recall is a ballot issue. As such, contributions ARE permitted from corporations, LLC's, LPA's, LLP's, sole proprietorships, partnerships, political action committees, candidate campaign committees, and of course, individuals. There are no contribution limits. Voters will be asked if each council member should be permitted to finish his or her elected term. VOTE YES!
