Happy New Year

Out with the Old --- In with the NEW!!

Never has the phrase "out with the old, in with the new" carried so much meaning. The year of 2009 will be the year that people will stand up and demand more from our government. Whether it is removing corruption from Springfield, ending pay-to-play politics or demanding honesty, transparency and accountability here in Aurora; we all need to act!

We need to work together towards creating a NEW way of thinking, one that embraces President Abraham Lincoln's vision of a government that is "of the people, by the people, for the people" and not "of the wealthy contributors, by the special interests and for developers".

To make this happen, I NEED YOUR HELP!

Weds, January 7th is a fundraiser to help support my campaign. Please make some time in your evening to stop by and show your support for our campaign (even if it is just for a 1/2 an hour after work) between 6 and 9 p.m. at Gaslite Manor on Church Road. I am also asking you to bring a few neighbors and friends too, the more the better. Food and entertainment will be provided.

Even if you cannot attend on January 7th, please send a donation to Friends of Stephanie Kifowit, PO Box 1414, Aurora, IL 60507 or make a donation online at www.Kifowit4Mayor.com . The fundraiser is to help support our vision of a more honest, transparent and accountable City; and with your help we can make it. I'm only asking for a modest donation of $30 to help with the campaign.

Thank you so much for your help in the past, and I appreciate all the help for the future!

Again, Happy New Year!
