LSOCK NEWS Alert!
Hello everyone,
I am forwarding an important message from John Axtell of the local Campaign For Liberty to you at his request. He and others are protesting crony capitalism by city government here in Wichita. Please read John's message and support this effort.
Thank you.
For Liberty,
Steven A. Rosile
Editor, LSOCK NEWS

From John Axtell of Campaign For Liberty
Friends,

Our city council members have, more than once, voted to award no-bid contracts and high-bid contracts to their own campaign contributors, costing voters millions of dollars extra on these contracts.  In addition to this huge cost to voters, this practice pollutes the business environment in Wichita as it leaves honest businesspeople wondering if they will get fair access to building permits, to new roads and infrastructure near their property, to police and fire protection, or to liquor licenses for their new restaurant. 

Please consider attending next Tuesday’s meeting of the Wichita City Council (as described below), to help put an end to this public/private cronyism.  At this meeting, Brent Davis and John Axtell are on the Public Agenda to propose reforms to city campaign finance laws, reforms that would end this practice of council members awarding special contracts and favors to their campaign contributors.

Wichita City Council Meeting
Tuesday, December 11, 2012, 9 am (sharp)
Wichita City Hall , 455 N. Main, Wichita , KS

If you can, please attend, and if you represent a civic organization and are willing to stand and be counted in support of this campaign reform, please reply to this invitation with your name and the organization you represent.  If you are not able to attend, but would like to go on record in support of this reform, please also reply with your name and who you represent.  For more information, please feel free to call John Axtell at the phone number below.

Thank you for your support of honest local government.  Honest government demands eternal vigilance on the part of honest and informed citizens.

John Axtell
