H. D w ayne D a v is , AS YOUR AGENT I WILLI Recall Sam Adams Update The Community to Recall Sam Adams opened campaign office headquarters on August 3, almost a month after filing papers with the City Hall Elections Office. Accord ing to chief petitioner and recall spokesman Jasun Wurster, the donated space, an ap proximately 1,000 square-foot office located at 421 N. Broadway, is “indicative of the increased support we are seeing from the business community.” The open house event, at which Wurster and other organizers trained volunteers on how to collect signatures from regis tered Portland voters, came on the heels of Wurster’s July 29 statement to City Council members. During the weekly communica tions period in chambers, Wurster addressed alleged threats of retaliation to those signing or volunteering to collect signatures for the campaign during off-work hours, describing reaction to his remarks as “very telling of how [Commissioner] Randy [Leonard] and Sam [Adams] are reacting to the Recall.” “Randy, please stop being Sam’s mouth piece,” Wurster said, to which a visibly upset Leonard replied, “I am not Sam’s mouth piece. Sam asked me for his forgiveness and I gave it to him.” Adams, for his part, was silent. JUDITH During the public comment period, Wurster also discussed reports he had re ceived of people falsely representing the recall effort in an attempt to prevent sig natures from being validated. “Sadly we are seeing those who do not support our positive recall resort to some pretty underhanded tactics,” Wurster later told Ju st Out. “This includes a volunteer who was physically ac costed by a male who identified himself as a member of the GLBT community at the Farmers Market in the South Park Blocks last Saturday [August 1]. We also have had reports of people falsely representing the recall attempting to take signed petitions from businesses who are collecting.” Some $13,780 in donations and in-kind contributions had been raised as of press time. Wurster said over 350 volunteers had been trained, with upwards of4,500 petitions in the field. “This translates, to the ability to get 45,000 signatures,” Wurster explained, adding that he was training between 10-30 volunteers in person, on the phone and via the internet and email daily. Organizers have 90 days to collect almost 32,200 signatures from registered Portland voters to put the recall on the ballot; the recall campaign is aiming for 50,000.
