VOTE YES TO RECALL JANET JOAKIM!

Controversial Town Council President Janet Joakim has caused many more problems than she has attempted to solve. She has fostered a culture of arrogance and reptilian attitudes towards the taxpayers of Barnstable for many years, but especially since she took the position of Town Council President. While Joakim has had months to re-affirm her commitment to her constituents and address the charges of the recall, she has chosen instead to attack the recall organizers on deeply personal levels.

Joakim's modus operandi of intimidation and retaliation against those who criticize her views or actions on the council are infamous in the Town of Barnstable. After years of trying to establish effective communication between the taxpayers and the town council, citizen activists had no choice but to exercise their rights according to the town charter and recall this abusive councilor.

While her abuse of power has hurt residents all over the Town of Barnstable, Massachusetts, only voters (about 2500) in Joakim's precinct in the Centerville Heights area of Barnstable may act to recall her. All residents of Precinct SIX are encouraged to vote YES to recall abusive and out of control Barnstable Councilor Janet Joakim.
