Our latest efforts to give teeth to the Ordinance is critically important. To that end, I offer a little tweak to the wording:<div><br></div><div><blockquote style="margin: 0 0 0 40px; border: none; padding: 0px;"><div><p style="margin: 0px 0px 18px; font-family: Arial;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px">This ordinance, first and foremost, is intended to return power from the federal, state and corporate level to the Citizenry of Mendocino County. </span><span style="text-decoration: underline ; letter-spacing: 0.0px">This ordinance <i>makes it illegal</i> in Mendocino County for any entity to engage in fracking and <i>contains within it serious enforcement penalties</i></span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px">. This ordinance begins the crucial process of giving citizens control over their community’s essentials: water quality, power, food, and local resources. As each community passes these community ordinances, one by one, we the People, gain power to decide, yes or no, when a corporation proposes devastating tactics like fracking.</span></p></div></blockquote><div><br></div>Lanny Cotler<br><blockquote style="margin: 0 0 0 40px; border: none; padding: 0px;"><div><br></div></blockquote><div><div>On Apr 27, 2014, at 12:46 PM, karinajoy <<a href="mailto:karinacotler@gmail.com">karinacotler@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div style="font-family: GillSans; font-size: 18px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;">I love this! made a few minor changes (we the People) (tactics like fracking).<div><br></div><div>This could be our opening paragraph.

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></p><div><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Helvetica; color: green;"> </span><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Helvetica; color: green;">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></p><div><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Helvetica; color: green;"> </span><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Helvetica; color: green;">To learn more about community rights visit: You Tube Community Rights TV & CELDF (<a href="http://www.celdf.org/" target="_blank"><span style="color: green;">http://www.celdf.org/</span></a>) (Community Environmental Legal</span></p><div><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Helvetica; color: green;"> </span><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Helvetica; color: green;"><facebook page contact here></span></p><div><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Helvetica; color: green;"> </span><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Helvetica; color: rgb(80, 0, 80);"> </span><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 8.5pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(80, 0, 80);">__________________________________________</span></p><p class="MsoNormal">Cienfuegos 5 minute concise video: <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(112, 0, 0);"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQ9J2JlFysk" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQ9J2JlFysk</a></span><span style="font-family: Arial;"></span></p><div> <br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><p class="MsoNormal">Ordinance is with county attorney and due out this week, to go to printing, hence possibly collecting signatures soon.</p><div> <br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><p class="MsoNormal">Do you know of someone who can create this site?
