For those with signs, Code Enforcement for the City of Fort Lauderdale has advised all candidates that they will be removing campaign signs that are placed in a swale (typically the area between the street and the sidewalk). If you have a sign in a swale, please move it into your yard. While we know in some cases this may reduce visibility of the sign, it is better to have a sign somewhere in your yard then none at all. While we have our sign team working hard to move our signs off the swale areas, if you see one in the swale and have a moment to move it into someone’s yard, your help would be greatly appreciated.

For those without signs… As always if you need a sign just drop us an email and we will get one out to you right away. We have already gone through our first order of 1200 signs and more than half way through our second order of 1200. Currently John P. Jack Seiler Campaign signs are selling on Ebay for .02 Cents (.04 cents autographed) after the election who knows where the price will go.

MOST IMPORTANT WORDS TO REMEMBER

While it is great show of support (and builds name recognition) to have our signs all over Fort Lauderdale, always remember, signs don’t vote, people vote.

Election Day, February 10, 2009, is most likely going to be a low turnout election based on the statistics from past City of Fort Lauderdale elections. We know that not all of our supporters are always available to volunteer due to work or family commitments.

The two most important things our supporters can do for Jack is simply
1) VOTE yourself and
2) Get your family and friends in Fort Lauderdale to vote for Jack.

Because this is expected to be a low turnout election, this race could be decided by a small amount of votes. A concern is that some people my forego voting, thinking because of Jack’s popularity, media coverage and community support that Jack may not need their single vote. We need everyone’s vote, all votes are crucial.

ABSENTEE BALLOTS

There will not be Early Voting for the February 10, 2009  election but if you or someone you know wants to vote ahead of time one can always vote via absentee ballot. The link to request an absentee ballot is here;

ADDITIONAL NEWS:
Due to the overwhelming requests for campaign signs we have exhausted our initial order of 1200 signs. By tomorrow we will have a shipment of signs delivered. Currently we are getting 10-15 requests a day and doing the best we can to get the signs up. So if you asked me recently for a sign and its not there yet, please know we will get it up ASAP. Additionally, we have ordered large signs for business so if anyone has any location on major rodaways we can put up a large sign, please let us know.

The voters of Fort Lauderdale can meet all the candidates running in the upcoming city elections at two forums that will be held in City Hall.

The Council of Fort Lauderdale Civic Associations will host the forums. The first is on Jan. 29, just before the Feb. 10 primary election. The candidates will be interviewed at this forum by the Council of Civic Associations.

The second forum is Feb. 26, in advance of the March 10 general election.

Both sessions will begin at 7 p.m. in City Hall, 100 N. Andrews Ave, with Christopher Pollock, former president of the Greater Fort Lauderdale Chamber of Commerce, moderating.
