Community Rights Ordinance gives us the legal authority to say, "No".</span></p> </div><div><div> <br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div></div><div><p class=""><span style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif""> Here is an archive of Ordinance: <a href="http://celdf.org/ordinance-archive?preview=1&cache=0" target="_blank">http://celdf.org/ordinance-archive?preview=1&cache=0</a></span></p> </div><div><div><span style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif""> </span><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div></div><div><p class=""><span style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">This link <a href="http://celdf.org/-1-27" target="_blank">http://celdf.org/-1-27</a> takes you to FAQ's regarding the Rights of Nature.</span></p> </div><div><div><span style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif""> </span><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div></div><div><p class=""><span style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">Here is the link to Community Rights TV:</span></p> </div><div><p class=""><span style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif""><a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/100firesvideos" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/user/100firesvideos</a></span></p> </div><div><p class=""><span style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">I suggest clicking the subscribe text button.
