<br>
<br>
Let the Charter Commission meet with the Mendocino Public, listen to their goals for their lives in Mendocino County,<br>
and put the proposed Charter before the voters, all at no expense to the County.<br>
All we have to do is vote for 15 Charter Commissioners on June 7.<br>
<br>
Why not allow the people express their opinions of how we can change Mendocino County for the better?<br>
Are those who oppose W also opposed to the First Amendment? Are they opposed to Free Speech?<br>
<br>
We listen to our President give the State of the Union message, and the Governor the State of the State,<br>
but what do we hear from our County Supervisors?<br>
<br>
Maybe it’s time WE THE PEOPLE started speaking up for OUR future!<br>
<br>
A Charter, like a Constitution, describes a future. Rather than continuing of the status quo of a General Law county,<br>
a Charter sets the direction for future goals and policies for the Board of Supervisors and other elected officials.<br>
<br>
The Charter Commission, with public participation, can propose future objectives of governance,<br>
public finance, environmental sustainability, social service levels, housing and<br>
economic development customized to the needs of Mendocino County.<br>
<br>
What WE the PEOPLE want is a government of the people, by the people, for the people".<br>
Not a government of the establishment, by the corporations, and for the powerful.<br>
Our elected supervisors will implement the government (Charter) that WE vote for.<br>
<br>
WHY would anyone be opposed to Measure W at this time?<br>
Only those who are pleased with the status quo and currently have the power to influence<br>
policy outcome would be opposed to a county constitution that works for everyone.<br>
<br>
IF you support the First Amendment you support free speech. Let it happen here.<br>
<br>
Vote YES on W.<br>
