Mark Whitaker, speaking at a rally to about 120 people at New Bethel Baptist Church, said the "real motive" is to increase guns in the community when "our children are dying all over this country." "It's not about Holley," Ebel Sportwave Steel Ladies Watch 1215043 Whitaker said. "It's about guns." Whitaker was referring to Robert Marcus, the owner of Bob's Gun Shop in Norfolk and a main organizer behind the recall petition. He said Holley is a member of a national mayors group that advocates for gun control and threatens the revenue of gun dealers. Marcus, a Portsmouth native and resident, has dismissed before the suggestion that his work on the recall is related to his occupation.

He points to wholesale lingerie the fact that the other council members asked Holley to retire last year and offered to get him counseling after an aide said he was verbally abusive and had her do many of his personal tasks. Marcus attended the rally and sat in the back of the church while Whitaker referred to him by name. "People who know me know better," Marcus said later. He started a political action committee with his own money to bolster the recall effort. Another volunteer was already circulating petitions. The recall election is July 13.
