To: discussion at lists.mcn.org


WHY NOT VOTE YES on W?


Let the Charter Commission meet with the Mendocino Public, listen to their
goals for their lives in Mendocino County,
and put the proposed Charter before the voters, all at no expense to the
County.
All we have to do is vote for 15 Charter Commissioners on June 7.

Why not allow the people express their opinions of how we can change
Mendocino County for the better?
Are those who oppose W also opposed to the First Amendment?  Are they
opposed to Free Speech?

We listen to our President give the State of the Union message, and the
Governor the State of the State,
but what do we hear from our County Supervisors?

Maybe it’s time WE THE PEOPLE started speaking up for OUR future!

A Charter, like a Constitution, describes a future. Rather than continuing
of the status quo of a General Law county,
a Charter sets the direction for future goals and policies for the Board of
Supervisors and other elected officials.

The Charter Commission, with public participation, can propose future
objectives of governance,
public finance, environmental sustainability, social service levels,
housing and
economic development customized to the needs of Mendocino County.

What WE the PEOPLE want is a government of the people, by the people, for
the people".
Not a government of the establishment, by the corporations, and for the
powerful.
Our elected supervisors will implement the government (Charter) that WE
vote for.

WHY would anyone be opposed to Measure W at this time?
Only those who are pleased with the status quo and currently have the power
to influence
policy outcome would be opposed to a county constitution that works for
everyone.

IF you support the First Amendment you support free speech.  Let it happen
here.

Vote YES on W.
