The group is soliciting signatures for the “Austin Police Oversight Act.” Equity Action already collected signatures for a petition under the same name. That initiative is on the May 2023 ballot.
Villarreal said he was too ill for a phone call Friday but said via text, "When VOPA was created, the APA was asked to give support and we have. Included in that support was allowing VOPA to use a website that we had previously created and used to cut down on time and cost. A web vendor left some incorrect information on it when it was first used by VOPA which is why it was taken down, fixed and re-published." On Nov. 2 the PAC was registered with the City of Austin.
As our team approached him he asked a woman to sign his petition. She said "No thanks, that’s already on the ballot." When asked about the interaction, Don denied that is what the woman said. . He went to great lengths to provide little information by way of contacts - at one point stating he was recruited by "just some guy."
He said canvassers have been given direction by a man named "John." He said he does not know John’s last name. Nasica Tactical’s site states "We maintain a full-time recruitment staff with a database of over 1,500 political operatives nationwide."
