<div dir="ltr">Hi all,<div><br></div><div>I read the suggestions people posted about the other 1/2 page flyer and made this one. I haven't read our ordinance yet (I'd love to see a copy) but I changed some wording that I hope is alright. I also added the 'Gaslands 2' link about fracking FAQs, I think it's a good site but by all means change anything on here. The attachment has better formatting than what is here in the email.</div>

<span style="font-family:Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial;font-size:13px">The Mendocino County Community Bill of Rights Ordinance proposes to assert the right of residents of the County to local self-government, to clean water, air and soil, and freedom from chemical trespass. It would establish rights for natural communities and ecosystems, and empower community members and the County government with legal standing to enforce those rights. </span><br style="font-family:Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial;font-size:13px">
<br style="font-family:Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial;font-size:13px"><span style="font-family:Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial;font-size:13px">To secure these rights, fracking and related activities would be prohibited within the County, with the exception of wells already established and in operation at the time of adoption of this Ordinance. In addition, corporations engaged in the unconventional extraction of hydrocarbons, or intending to do so in the County, could not avail themselves of certain legal rights and powers which would enable them to nullify the rights and prohibitions secured by this Ordinance.</span><br style="font-family:Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial;font-size:13px">
