Friends of Transit: The Tipping the Balance Edition
The Tipping the Balance Edition
Posted from "Friends of Transit: Getting There Together Weekly" Blog
Folks,
We’re now about twenty hours from the polls opening.
Last chance to send out the word–VOTE YES on the Silver Line Millage!
Please call, e-mail or visit your neighbors! The election will be put in the balance tomorrow and we need your help to weigh down the Silver Line side of the scales!
Speaking of balance, there was a balanced article in the Grand Rapids Press on Sunday about the election. However, their balance focused on the pros and cons of the Silver Line. They failed to mention that the Friends of Transit website lists over 400 hundred endorsing organizations and individuals compared to the one person’s name (yes, there’s only one person listed) on the so-called “opponent’s” website.
We know there are hundreds of people who have said they will support the Silver Line. We know that tens of thousands have received mailings and phone calls and e-mails educating them and encouraging a YES VOTE.
But we need your help in these final hours to do all you can to tip the balance in favor of the Silver Line! All of these efforts are for naught if we do not get the YES VOTE out tomorrow.
Of course, remember to vote tomorrow if you live in East Grand Rapids, Grand Rapids, Grandville, Kentwood, Walker or Wyoming!
All for today.
Dave
