Tiverton 1st, now with over 100 members in just over a month in existence, is stepping up efforts to inform voters of the clear choice facing them in the local races on November 6. The Tiverton 1st Recommended Candidates (posted above) represent a commitment to preserving the quality of life in Tiverton, to maintaining vital community and school services in a fiscally-responsible way, to fostering cooperation and compromise and community pride. The key to success is informing as many voters as possible about the vision and experience of the Tiverton 1st slate of candidates, as well as the record of words and actions of the other candidates, including those supported by TCC.
While the grassroots efforts of Tiverton 1st members and friends in spreading the word to their family, friends and neighbors is our primary means of getting out the facts, there are over 10,000 registered Tiverton voters we need to reach. Our best hope to reach them is to combine these grassroots efforts with things such as hand-out cards listing our principles and our recommended candidates, newspaper ads, and yard signs. These things require funds, and this is why Tiverton 1st was set up as Political Action Committee. With countless ads, mailed cards, yard signs, and robo-calls, TCC has shown it can and will raise and spend large sums to promote its agenda and candidates. While we don't expect to match their funding, we hope to raise enough funds to reach as many people as possible.
If you are interested in making a contribution to Tiverton 1st to support our efforts to get our recommended candidates elected, please consider doing so this week. We are in the process of making final plans for our election push, and what we can do will be based on the funds available. To make a donation, please submit a personal check payable to "Tiverton 1st" to: Deb Janick, 374 Judson St, Tiverton, RI 02878. Every penny contributed will go directly to efforts to inform voters and support the Tiverton 1st Recommended Candidates.
