OK, HERE'S THE DEAL:
This is IT. Circuit of the Americas needs every one of you who supports this project to help by showing your support for MotoGP & F1!
There is still one more hurdle to clear. We need to win a vote in the Austin City Council in order to gain its endorsement. It seems like the Austin City Council will vote our way, but they want to know they have popular support, even from around the world. The opposition is trying their best this time to match our efforts, and you never know how much effect a very vocal, relentless, and utterly dishonest minority can have in this town...so even though we had a fantastic results in the last meeting (emails to the Council, online petition signatures, and an overwhelming majority at the Council Chambers), we need to absolutely overwhelm EVERYONE with a MASSIVE show of support by this Wednesday at 10am US Central Time.
If you're in the Austin area, go on down to City Hall to show your support during the Council Special Session at 10am on Wednesday. Get there early, too, because (1) Circuit of the Americas Gear to identify us will be passed out until it's gone, (2) it takes some time getting through the line to register your support, and it's IMPORTANT to do that. Also, the Fire Marshal cut off admittance last week once the chambers were full. If you have F1/CoTA hats/gear, wear em. If you have something to say, sign up to speak (or you can donate time to other speakers if you like).
If you can't be there, go sign up in favor anyway before the session. I believe you may be able to do that on Tuesday as well. Bring everyone you can. Spread the word.
We know you fans outside of Austin may not make it to the meeting, but you really can help...probably a lot more than you think you can!
What we need:
- Direct emails of support sent to council members...beginning tonight. Don't be shy. Send more than one if you like, & it can be short & sweet. We need quantity. That's what the council looks for. Title your email so that it shows your support.
( [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] )
- Petition signatures. Every time the petition is signed, an email of support is sent to the council. Sign the petition here: http://www.change.org/petitions/tell-the-austin-city-council-to-vote-yes-on-formula-1 .
- Call your friends, family, coworkers or anyone else who supports MotoGP, F1, and/or the Circuit of the Americas and what they will bring to the City. Get them to help in any or all of the above ways!!
Please, take the time to show your support and get others to do so with you. This is your last opportunity to show the Austin City Council that you want this project! Ever feel like you never have a voice in today's crazy politics? Here's your chance to make a meaningful difference on something that really matters!
Thank you all SO MUCH for your help and support!
