<FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>I am happy to work with folks on their LTEs. I have cc’d Prajna, as they developed a schedule of topics week to week so that there were many angles, and each letter was asked to write to that week’s topic. Could be from a farmer’s perpective, someone with a well they are worried about, something from the paper the week before, etc. Just a thought. <BR>

</SPAN></FONT><BLOCKQUOTE><FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>The only thing that is important to me to stress is that this ordinance is ONE subject - <B>protecting our water by banning fracking</B>. We are basing our right to ban fracking on our inalienable right to protect ourselves, our communities, our water. Our rights are not a separate issue, but what we are basing our ordinance upon. <BR>
<BR>
This is a crucial point, as if it is deemed to contain multiple subjects, it could be thrown off the ballot. We should all come on board with this, even tho you may think the real main issue is "community rights." The one subject is "protecting our water by banning fracking." Can we all agree to this?<BR>

We are all adults and all have a right to write letters to the editor. But if you want your letter to be edited or vetted, pass it around a bit to get feedback. Maybe some people can get together to make a list of possible thoughts/ideas/issues to include in a letter, from which you can choose what to focus on. Simple is good, too.<BR>
<BR>
We are all needed for this phase. <BR>

Ideally, one of us should write on every week until November. I don't think we need to vet each LTE; I think each person writing should say it in their own words even if their view is not precisely right. <BR>
<BR>
Or else we can compose a template to be modified by each writer. What do you think? <BR>
