Vote for Ben Again! April 8, 2008

The Best Choice for Bonita's Future!

The January 29th election ended with the Nelson campaign collecting an impressive 47% of the total votes, with the second place candidate receiving only 33%. The citizens of Bonita clearly want a change of leadership and their preference is clearly Ben Nelson Jr.

But, because we didn’t get over 50% of the vote, we must have another election on April

8th between Ben Nelson, and the second place candidate. It is an entirely new election with fundraising and planning starting from the beginning. Our goal is to get our supporters back to the poles on April 8th, so your volunteer help is welcome as we get the word out that there is one more vote to cast and that there are three ways to VOTE FOR BEN AGAIN!

1. Vote at your same precinct on April 8th

2. Vote early beginning March 24th at the Elections office at the Coconut Commerce

Center at 24951 Old US 41.

3. Call the Supervisor of Elections at 239-533-8683 and ask for a Vote by Mail ballot.

With your help we can elect the Mayor that is

The Best Choice for Bonita’s Future - Ben Nelson!

Ben Nelson personifies today's Bonita -

a blend of old and new... with unbridled enthusiasm about the future.

If all public servants were as humble

and down to earth as Nelson,

government would have a better name."
