 EXETER, RI - We the People of Exeter is announcing the grassroots effort to seek redress of our concerns has been successful. 
 The Exeter Board of Canvassers has certified the recall of four town councilors initiated by the hard working Exeter citizens, 
 who were ignored and dismissed, by those councilors while trying to protect their constitutional rights. 
 “If these four councilors had spent as much time talking to the citizens of Exeter as they have spent talking to the press the past few weeks, 
 we would not be here”, said petitioner Joseph St. Lawrence.
 While firearms licensing was the subject of the underlying debate, this is not, as some members of the council falsely claim, 
 merely a firearms issue. First, they refused to listen to constructive criticism regarding the rights of the citizens by limiting comment and 
 frustrating Exeter residents who were unable to speak on the issue. Now, they dismiss petitions from 600 citizens as petty. 
 This is just the arrogant and unresponsive attitude that galvanized this recall. 
 We are Exeter residents engaged in a time consuming grassroots effort while trying to juggle work, family and life in general. 
 We did not make the decision to sacrifice our valuable family time over a bygone ‘gun issue’, but we viewed the actions of the town council resolution 
 as taking away the rights of Exeter citizens and surrendering our local powers to the state. When the council dismissed, disrespected, and ignored us, 
 we became united. Our only recourse to redress such urgent concerns was through the recall provisions of the Exeter Town Charter which was adopted by 
 the electorate of the town 16 years ago.  We did not choose the process or set the recall rules, but are working within the town charter to hold the town council accountable. 
 This is democracy at work. At the upcoming election, we urge the voters of Exeter to make your voices heard and vote in favor of recall.

Overview of the Exeter Town Countil Recall Petition
Four members of the Exeter Town Council voted en bloc to deny you due process under Rhode Island law; they are William Monahan, Calvin Ellis, Robert Johnson and Arlene Hicks. Under Rhode Island law: 11-47-11, cities and towns are mandated to provide qualified law abiding citizens the right to apply for a concealed carry pistol permit. This issue is not a debate about gun rights but rather the Exeter town council's unilateral actions based upon a personal bias and their defiance and suppression of the will of Exeter voters.
Background
The four council members attempted to exempt the Town of Exeter of its statutory mandate. They did this by drafting a resolution to have the General Assembly change current Rhode Island law to have Exeter opt out of its obligation to its citizens. The Town Council has repeatedly defended their actions and stated the Clerk can not do background checks on applicants and therefore Exeter should not issue pistol permits. However, the permitting policy that the Town Council approved requires the applicant to obtain a background check from the Rhode Island Bureau of Criminal Investigation as well as the Federal Bureau of Investigation and submit it as part of the application. Representative Valencia sponsored two House bills at the request of the Exeter Council. If successful, this would deny citizens the right to due process by the Town of Exeter. The excuse was the Exeter town clerk is not qualified to handle the issuance of the permits. This is a false statement; it is a deliberate attempt to advance a political agenda against the Exeter citizens' Constitutional rights. Hundreds of your fellow Exeter citizens adamantly opposed this resolution. They called, wrote and attended town meetings to testify against it. Despite our overwhelming objections, the town council passed the resolution ignoring the voices of the voters and those of a fellow council member. Chronology of Events
Due to a large public interest at the town hall March 4th meeting the room capacity was exceeded. The Council moved for a change of venue. A special meeting was held at the Metcalf School on March 11th where attendance by concerned citizens exceeded the 300 capacity limit, again the room filled beyond capacity. Despite every speaker in opposition but one, the Council passed the resolution 4 to 1 to deny Exeter citizens their Constitutional rights to due process. Regardless, the abusive behavior of the four council members is a gross violation of our representative system of government and as citizens we have a duty to remove them.
