Florida Hometown Democracy Action Needed

Although we're disappointed that the Florida Hometown Democracy Ammendment won't be on the 2008 ballot, our dedication to getting our petitioning finished up and to be certified to be on the 2010 ballot is unwavering, and still our TOP Priority!

Basically the Federal judge has ruled that the citizens' initiative process is a State right and is not subject to Federal Constitutional guarantees, and so will not compel the State to put us on the 2008 ballot. It is a disappointing ruling, but nothing else has changed.

So, simply put, we must continue our ongoing effort to get certified for 2010 by the State standards, and to do so before the 2008 election. We are very close now, by the State's own numbers, some 5000 short, and with the revocation issue still up on appeal, we are determined to meet the state requirement as is.

LET THE PEOPLE VOTE!
