Campaign Spring Bottle Drive Fundraiser Deemed Successful:
The first fundraiser for The Sutton for Mayor 11 was held today, June 1st, on the east side of Flint. Kayamone along with staff members and volunteers went door to door to collect cans and bottles to raise money for the campaign. During the fundraiser, many citizens voiced their opinions regarding the current crime rate and economic crisis that Flint has been faced with. Kayamones thoughts and opinions regarding these issues fell upon receptive ears.

The fundraiser also marks the start of an aggressive grassroots campaign to promote the candidate and take notice of the concerns of the community. Further fundraising efforts are currently in motion as well as other efforts to reach out to the community to promote youth community activism, youth voter awareness, and address solutions to the issues affecting our city.

Todays fundraiser was deemed a great success. Campaign staff members are optimistic with the progress to be made in coming months.

Sutton for Mayor 11' Gets the Green Light!!:
Dear Supporters,
This past Monday marked a major milestone for the Sutton for Mayor 11 campaign. After months of organization, and hours upon hours of hard work, planning, and preparation, the paperwork was filed and approved making the Committee to Elect Kayamone Sutton a legal and binding campaign organization. What does this mean? This means that we have the green light to proceed with our push to make Flint SAFER, more BEAUTIFUL, more abundant with JOBS, and provide a better EDUCATION for everyone.

Its time to take back our city! Its time to reprioritize the citys agenda and try new methods, new tactics, and new ideas! Its time to make a difference in our community! Politicians talk about how change needs to come to the city of Flint, yet they fail to make the changes that this city needs. Sutton for Mayor 11 IS that change, and that change starts NOW! Help me declare to those in control in one powerfully unified voice that its no longer about maintaining the status quo, that its no longer about city politicians just working to earn a paycheck to fill their pockets, thats its no longer about throwing away tax payer dollars or creating an unsafe environment for everyone to live in. Its About Us! The time for change is now, and it starts with Sutton for Mayor in 2011!

Sincerely,
Kayamone A. Sutton
Flint Mayoral Candidate
