[CRNMC] Arguments For Measure S

[Tim Rice]

Using Shannon's and Thomas's words, adding a few of my own, here
is a possible starting point.
...............................................

In a free society, the people tell their government what it can and
can not do.
In a free society, all people have the same rights and privliges.

In an opressive society, government tells the people what they can
and can not do.
In an opressive society, favored groups are granted sepcial privliges at
the expense of others.

In our country today, corporations (property) have been granted more
rights than the people of this country.

The people that wrote the Declaration of Independence understood
that governments derive their just powers from the consend of the
governed and when a government becomes destructive the people
have the right to alter or abolish it.

Measure S will establish a Community Bill of Rights for the people and
natural environment of Mendocino County  new civil, political, and
environmental rights. All built on the right of local, community
self-government These include the right to live in a healthy and safe
ecosystem and the right to protect local water from danger. In order to
uphold and protect those rights, the initiative bans all fracking related
activities within the County including the transportation of fracking
fluids, and the use of local water for fracking. 

Measure S elevates the rights of the people of Mendocino back where they
belong, above the claimed "rights" of corporations and state agencies
that enable fracking corporations to profit from the destruction of
local ecosystems and to harm residents and communities.

This measure is about putting the freedom back in "the land of the free".
