Proposition is appealing

Sun., Oct. 30, 2011

Read Proposition 1. It’s reasonable. It’s time.

We propose – developers come to the neighborhoods before pursuing a zone change so that the people already living here have a say in how our neighborhoods change and grow.

We propose – polluters and potentially hazardous projects can be called out by any citizen to protect our river and aquifer.

We propose – that human workers retain our constitutional rights in the workplace; and that corporations are not persons who may claim the very rights they deny we, the people.

We propose – community rights, not corporate rights. Vote yes on Prop 1 – it’s time.
