WeDemandAVote.com Announces 34,014 Signatures!

WeDemandAVote.Com, a coalition of 7 Hamilton County Based Groups opposed to the 1/2 cent Sales Tax Increase imposed by Hamilton County Commissioners Todd Portune and David Pepper has announced that their signature total is now 34,014. Approximately 28,750 signatures are required to place the referendum petition on the Sales Tax Increase on the ballot in November.

Campaign Coordinator Daniel Regenold announced that over 8,700 people signed the petitions on July 4, 2007 alone. “Our main goal has been to explain to voters that this is not about the jail, it’s all about Democracy and making your vote count. The voters deserve a chance to take a good look at this $900 million tax increase before it goes into effect.”

Regenold stressed the importance of the group continuing to get many more petition signatures to provide a cushion against signatures that might be thrown out during the checking process. To sign a petition go to www.WeDemandAVote.com and click “Locations” or call us at 513-544-9014. The campaign for signatures ends July 13, 2007.

For media opportunities call Dan Regenold at 513-544-9014.
