Florida Hometown Democracy
Action Needed
Sierra Florida has endorsed the proposed Florida Hometown
Democracy (FHD) amendment to the state constitution. The
amendment would add an extra step to amending local government
Comprehensive Plans -- the citizens would be allowed to vote
on the changes. For a brief explanation of FHD, visit www.floridahometowndemocracy.com
Before this amendment can be put on the ballot, more petitions
need to be collected. Will YOU collect 5 more petitions in
YOUR neighborhood? Please DO!
Petition gathering continues, for maybe two more weeks and
that's it! PLEASE download the petition and get at least
4 or 5 more petitions signed in YOUR neighborhood. If
we all do this, we'll put on the November ballot the chance for
voters to SAVE THEIR COMMUNITIES FROM MORE SPRAWL.
Only a couple thousand to go, and
we've been asked to help get it done. Let's do it!
