[Peace] Tuesday, Annual Township Meeting/CHIEF ISSUE MAY BE RAISED

[Jan & Durl Kruse]

ALERT:
Help Needed!
It appears there may be an effort by a "Support the Chief" group to  
place an advisory referendum on the Nov. 4th ballot asking the people  
to call for the University to restore the Chief.  No one is sure how  
organized this effort may be or how many people may show up to  
support it.  BUT, it is clear if the referendum questions being  
proposed by the progressive communities in Urbana and Champaign are  
to succeed we need ALL the support we can muster. It would be a  
travesty to have a restore the chief question on the ballot instead  
of our own questions simply because enough people didn't take an hour  
or two Tuesday night to attend the Town Hall meetings.
Potential progressive referenda include: municipalization of water  
and power, end torture, IRV, local government budget transparency.
Democracy does require "participation" and those who participate in  
the Town Hall meetings dictate the outcome.  Your presence and  
involvement is crucial to a successful Town Hall meeting.
Tuesday, April 8th, 6:00 pm at Urbana City Hall and 6:55 pm at  
Champaign City Hall.  Come at least 15-20 minutes early to complete  
the registration process.   You must be a township resident to  
participate.
See you at the PEOPLE'S ANNUAL TOWN HALL meeting!
