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 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. 

We know you folks down under can't 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. 

( Lee.Leffingwell@ci.austin.tx.us; Chris.Riley@ci.austin.tx.us; Mike.Martinez@ci.austin.tx.us; Laura.Morrison@ci.austin.tx.us; Bill.Spelman@ci.austin.tx.us; Sheryl.Cole@ci.austin.tx.us; Kathie.Tovo@ci.austin.tx.us )

- 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 F1 and/or Circuit of the Americas and what it 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 of your help and support!

Indeed you DID help! Emails from the other side of the world have a HUGE impact.

It was a long day today at Council Chambers, but it was definitely exciting and very much worth it to get to hear the mayor announce the final vote.

I want to thank everyone who helped in any way...and I think I can speak as well for Circuit of the Americas when I say that they thank you as well!



See you all in Austin!!
