[CRNMC] spoke with Ben at CELDF

[karinajoy]

After much back and forth with Ben and Shannon myself last week,  I do not believe what you wrote, Doug, is correct. The single issue is a Community Bill of Rights.  Ben wrote" "... the single subject of empowering local governments to assert the people's right to community self-government in protection of their fundamental rights."

On 8/12 Shannon wrote:

>> "Measure S contains one subject – a Bill of Rights. The prohibitions on fracking activities enforce those rights; and the limitations on corporations and state government protect the enforcement of the Measure."

Oh boy, this is a confusing issue and we must get it right. Let Ben clarify it directly to the group. I will look back at what he and Shannon said, but to the best of my current understanding,  "The right of our community to clean water"  is one of the fundamental rights we are asserting with the Community Bill of Rights - it is not the single subject.
