Time is Drawing Closer to the Inaugural Election of Our New City Council

Critical items to complete this coming week.

The time is drawing closer to the inaugural election of our new Peachtree Corners City Council.  The next few weeks will be very busy as we approach the March 6th election.  I want to thank you for your support to-date, and ask for your help with three specific things this week:

  1. Register to Vote — The February 6th deadline to register to vote in the March 6th election is fast approaching. If you are not registered to vote, please do so now. It is a simple process; follow the link here, complete the online application, print and mail.  Please forward this to your friends and neighbors.  Please make your voice heard in this important inaugural election for Peactree Corners.
  2. Yard Signs — Thank you to everyone who has placed a sign in your yard already.  We currently have over 100 signs visible, and we want to continue to increase those numbers.  If you do not have a sign and would like one, please let me know and we will get one delivered to you.  Please ask your friends and neighbors if they would be willing to display a sign.  Visibility is key.
  3. Attend the UPCCA Candidate Forums — We are very fortunate to have a group of 19 dedicated citizens offering their service to our community.  It is important that you get to know the candidates and make an informed
    decision on whom you elect.

The UPCCA hosted two forum this past week and will be hosting the third forum on Monday, February 6, 2012.  The forum will be held at Christ the King Lutheran Church, 5575 Peachtree Parkway, in the Fellowship Hall, from 7:30 to 9:00 pm.

I urge residents of Ward 3 to attend Monday's Forum and hope you will encourage your friends and neighbors to come.  If you missed the forum for your Ward, I encourage you to come Monday to meet all of the At-Large Candidates.  I will have a table set up.  Please come by to pick up valuable information.
