[Ali Boecker]

Hi folks, 
Trying to come up with a half page informational sheet to pass out at our signature gathering tables. Needs to include: info about this ordinance & contact information.  This is the plain English that was turned in to the county. Would this be a good start? Something else/different? Add on the facebook page...? 

Suggestions, additions, ANYTHING welcomed....

Community Rights- Water- Who Decides? 

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.  

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.
