[CRNMC] suggestion/request for website

[Sandra Marshall]

Hello all of you,



I’ve been watching the input and am in agreement that we need a web site
and would like to suggest the following:



Clear simple informative site including the following:



Outline/paraphrase of ordinance:



            This ordinance, first and foremost is intended to return power
from the Federal, state and corporate level, and return it to the citizenry
of Mendocino County*.  This ordinance makes it illegal in Mendocino County
for any entity to engage in fracking*.  The ordinance begins a process, to
give citizens control over their community, water quality, power, food, and
local resources.  As each community passes community ordinances, one by one
we gain power to decide, yes or no, when a corporation proposes devastating
tatics, ie fracking.

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.

Ordinance is with county attorney and due out this week, to go to printing,
hence possibly collecting signatures soon.



Do you know of someone who can create this site?  If it is simple AND
informative it won’t need much supervising.



Thank you to all of you, those who are actively reading, researching,
moving and commenting AND those who are quietly reading the comments,
sending support and observing that the process is, and it is moving.



Lets roll,

Sandy
