After years of irresponsible overspending, the City reached a state of financial emergency in 2010. Phil decided that the Mayor and the City Council had become a danger to the lives and financial freedoms of voters and that they had to be removed for safety reasons. Phil formed Recall City Hall. Org along with several other political activists. Contacts and connections have been made in the community in order to enact the plan to remove the elected city officials from office.

240,000 valid signatures are needed on recall petitions in order to remove the top three elected City officials : Mayor, City Attorney, and City Controller. Less than 25,000 signatures are needed in every City Council District in order to remove individual Council Members from power. It's a serious undertaking. A project this large has never been successful before. It's never even been tried before.

But Phil Jennerjahn doesn't think small. He doesn't believe in failure.

This website will soon have the petition signatures listed in .pdf format so that individual citizens can download the recall petitions on their personal computers, print them out, sign them, and mail them back into the Recall headquarters. Voters can now choose to remove every elected City official for the cost of a stamp, envelope and a few pieces of paper.

Over 100 businesses have agreed to operate as signature gathering control centers. Financial donations arrive daily. Media attention is beginning to grow. Community leaders are coming on board.

Phil plans to speak at over 100 community functions in the next few months. A Facebook page has been started to keep community members involved and informed about the progress of the recall.
