:usflag:Red letter day at the Board of Supervisors this Tuesday, 9/17/13!
After 10 years of asking for them to uphold their oath to support and defend the Constitution; and work to rescind PL-107-243, which enables strike-first undeclared wars of choice; something is finally delivered.
It's just a proclamation, not a binding resolution. Whether it's throwing us a bone, or extending an olive branch; it's still better than nothing.
Hope you can bring your voice and ideas at 8:30 AM for agenda item #3.
BTW Somewhere in the agenda documents I thought I spied the response to Grand Jury report on fluoride. This is still an important issue to speak out on too; here and with all the cities in Sonoma & Marin counties.
