[Peace] Urbana IRV Referendum Challenged!

[Jan & Durl Kruse]

Supporters of Instant Runoff Voting, Your Presence is Needed to Make  
a Difference!

What?

     * Municipal Election Board Hearing.

A challenge to the IRV (Instant Run-off voting) for Urbana petitions  
will be heard by the Municipal Election Board consisting of Mayor  
Prussing, City Clerk Phyllis Clark, and Councilman Dennis Roberts.   
An attempt is being made to STOP a grassroots effort to place a  
binding referendum on the 02/05/08 ballot that would give local  
Urbana voters the opportunity to change our local election  
process......... to IRV.............. a process that allows citizens  
a greater voice and participation in their elections.

When?

* This Tuesday December 4, 2007 1:30 pm Courtroom H, Champaign County  
Courthouse,  Downtown Urbana!

Who?

* Both local Democrats and Republicans have a role to play in this  
possible denial of grassroots democracy!

How is this possible?

* Al Klein (First Vice-Chair of the Champaign County Democratic  
Party) has filed an objection to the IRV petitions to be placed on  
the February 5, 2008 Primary.

* Incompetent advice and faulty information from local Republican  
County Clerk [Mark Shelden] regarding the number of signatures required.

What you can do!

* If you are free come and support this local effort!

Help spread the word and invite others.

Your presence could help make a difference!

Both Urbana and Champaign residents are asked to attend.

    We need a large turn out!  Please HELP!
