Nearly 10 days ago I posted the message below and no one said they would join us. I am posting my message to you all again. We barely survived quite a scare tonight. Phase 1 and 2 of FANS were successful and we have already planned Phase 3.

Selling out one Kings game will NOT help finance a new downtown arena. Selling out all Kings games will NOT help finance a new downtown arena. Selling out all other events will not do the trick either. The council and the public taxpayers do not care about that. It comes down to dollars and a philosophy of "Bigger Than Basketball" with facts on how the community can benefit from a new downtown arena.

Please let me know if you can make it and how many will be with you. Thanks.

==================================================

We all have one goal in common and that is to build a new downtown arena so our Kings will stay.

But the Kings are just one piece of the puzzle. There are other pieces too including: more jobs, local and regional money, revitalization, concerts and other events, nightlife, two economic engines, the people, investments, opportunities, vision, etc.

When you put the puzzle together the facility is all about and for Sacramento.

Please join us at Sacramento City Hall on Tuesday, February 14th. For those of you who live in or near Sacramento please attend. We cannot get this done as keyboard warriors posting our opinions and comments on here, the Bee, etc. We cannot get this done by posting on Facebook or tweeting about it on Twitter.

Our voices must be heard inside Sacramento City Hall. That is where the battleground is.

Thanks to Mayor Kevin Johnson we won the battle. But the war is not over. We must show our support inside the council chamber and show the council that we are the majority.

Sorry for the repeat of history but we know what we are fighting for but once again I want to remind you how we are having our voices heard.

Let's make history one more time and show our support. Please join us by posting a comment that you can make it. We need to know how many will come with you so you will all get a white FANS T-shirt.

Let's do a white-out at Sacramento City Hall on the most romantic evening of the year, Valentine's Day. If you have a date then spend it at City Hall. Valentine's Day is just a Hallmark holiday. But this meeting will more than likely be the deciding vote to proceed or not and this is our chance to show our support. Thank you.
