On November 4, 2008, despite a $400,000 misleading ad bombing campaign fueled by one of the world’s largest corporations and a who’s who of Austin’s growth industry, 123,209 Austin voters (48%) voted for Proposition 2 to stop the Domain luxury mall subsidies. People had different reasons for voting for Prop 2 but the common refrain was:  “We want our city back!”

On May 9 Austin voters will have an opportunity to elect 5 out of 7 new council members, including the Mayor, who will more honestly represent Austin’s voters and small businesses.

Last November Prop 2 garnered three times the number of votes needed to win the upcoming May election by a landslide.  Austin needs a new direction.  Let’s make it happen!
