BIG NEWS!
https://scontent-b-sjc.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn2/1463483_396649343770738_1021852802_n.jpgMove to Amend Sonoma County (https://www.facebook.com/MoveToAmendSonomaCounty) just voted to put a resolution in support of We the People Amendment (https://movetoamend.org/wethepeopleamendment) on the 2014 Sonoma County ballot. We will be using the citizen initiative process that will require us to gather nearly 25,000 signatures this Spring.
To succeed we need 100 to 120 more enthusiastic, team-oriented volunteers to work constructively and harmoniously together on this exciting endeavor. We invite you and your friends to join us!
What is your passion?
The ballot initiative committees already forming include Outreach, Resolution Language and Timeline. These committees are starting work immediately, so that we can hit the ground running in January. Committees that will take shape soon include Fundraising, Endorsements, Signature Gathering and Events.
Why a Ballot Initiative?
Move to Amend's We the People Amendment (https://movetoamend.org/wethepeopleamendment) (House Joint Resolution 29) was introduced into the U.S. Congress in February 2013, but we know that Congress will not pass this amendment on its own. They are too reliant on campaign contributions from corporations and the super-rich to risk rocking the boat. Move to Amend is placing resolutions in support of the We the People Amendment (https://movetoamend.org/wethepeopleamendment) on local ballots throughout the U.S. to build massive grassroots pressure for passage of this important Constitutional Amendment.
Can this really work?
Such resolutions have already won in every case in the numerous cities, counties and states where they have been on the ballot, regardless of whether the jurisdiction was a predominantly Democratic or Republican area. In California, Mendocino County has already approved such a ballot resolution, and similar initiatives are already being planned for 2014 in Santa Clara, Santa Cruz and Humboldt Counties. When the people lead, the leaders will follow!
