I don't want to rub it in, but I warned my readers that there was more to the Joakim recall than met the eye. The Joakim recall was never going to be limited to Joakim, especially if they win on Thurday. Now, the talk of COG and Cape COG Living is a recall of Councilor Tom Rugo in Precinct 2.
The COGers have larger goals that are not being disclosed to the public... It's interesting to see them play out...
To help stop the COGers and their multiple plans, make sure everyone that you know in Precinct 6 shows up to Vote "NO" on the recall. The election is this THURSDAY, October 30, at the Marstons Mills East Horace Mann Charter School. Visit www.sevenvillagesblog.com to support Council President Janet Joakim.
In other news, it seems that Bugsy the Pug still can't get over his election loss from last year. In a recent comment by the former politician, I counted at least three blatant lies that he proposed as legit examples of intimidation and reasons why he lost the race. He seems to enjoy throwing conspiracy theories against the wall to see if anything sticks...
Let's take a stand, let's make sure that this attempted Joakim recall doesn't stick... Vote NO on the recall on Thursday!

Welcome Back P3,
You are so right about there being more then meets the eye in this recall or should I say recalls.
Looks like Tom Rugo will be next on the hit list. This is however a strange change, I had Jim Munafo pegged for the next recall attempt.
I wonder if there will be two recalls simultaneously?
I wish people realized that they don't care what they cost our town, they are going to continue to try & recall people. After this attempt, hopefully people will start to notice that this group of political malcontents will NEVER be happy with any form of government that they cannot dictate.

"CAVE" men have a detrimental effect on local government

Editor,
The upcoming recall vote on Barnstable Town Councilor Janet Joakim is an unfortunate reflection of the disgraceful level of discourse that certain local gadflies have sunk to. While I support the right of all people to question and debate government officials, I am disgusted by the tactics these critics have taken to heart. Their scurrilous internet activities, where they gleefully defame anyone who disagrees with them, have evolved into this recall attempt.
I view these critics as "CAVE" men (Citizens Against Virtually Everything) who are having a detrimental effect on our local government. It seems their philosophy is in line with the famous quote from Vietnam: "We had to destroy the village in order to save it." If their goal is really to reform government, why create a climate where no rational person would run for office and become exposed to such hateful attacks? Or where you ensure that the very officials you need to effect change won't listen to you?
I hope that the voters of Precinct 6 will see through this unsavory recall attempt, and vote No on October 30th.
