When: August 8th
Where: Levy County Courthouse steps
Time: 9:00 am
By a Unanimous vote at the LCREC on 7/27/09 will host a rally in support of Abraham Blitch! Come show your support for the only Republican candidate that qualified and won 49% of the vote in Levy County. Abraham Blitch previously qualified, spent the money and ran the race but lost by only a few votes. Had the indictment of Tony Parker come the day before the election instead of the day after, Abraham would already be in office. The Governor's office has yet to make an appointment for the Vacancy left in our Levy County Commission for the District 1 Commission seat. It has been nine months. Abraham Blitch is the man for the job, come out and show your support. We need your help! Sign the petition online or come to the courthouse on Saturday August 8th and sign the petition. We want to get at least 1000 signatures! http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/levyrepublicans
Why 1000 signatures?...to put a constitutional amendment on the ballot it takes 8% of the general voter population in the last Presidential election and of that number 13 of 25 congressional districts must sign. That is 52% of the districts. The official results from the Levy County Supervisor of Elections shows of the 24,098 voters registered in 2008 only 9965 cards were cast or 41.35% of the population, 8% of that population would be 797 signatures (pg 4 of the Unofficial Voting Results for Levy County). http://www.votelevy.com/images/electionnight/PPP%20PRECINCT%20BY%20PRECINCT.pdf .
Levy County currently has 26,028 voters as of 7/27/09 and two federal congressional districts. 41.35% of the population of registered voters is 10758 and 8% of that would be 861 voters, but 1000 would send the message to Tallahassee that we know the candidate we want in the position of District 1 Commission Seat (we voted for him last election)!
