What Else Can I Do?
1. Pass on this email with the web site www.cityworthfightingfor.com to everyone on your email list and ask them to VOTE YES on 2C.
2. Put up a yard sign to show your support and get five of your friends to do the same. You can sign up at the web site.
3. Be a voice! Write a letter to the editor about the importance of 2C and why city services matter to you; reply to blogs and comments online and on Facebook. Diverse voices in visible places are important to show the widespread support we have for 2C. You can use the toolkit (download it from the web site) to support your letters and posts with facts.
Citizens Project's Endorsement of Measure 2C
For Citizens Project, the city's budget crisis goes beyond what many of us think of as a quality of life issue. The projected reductions in city services threaten to literally cut some citizens off from their jobs, their family, and our community. For many low income, senior, and disabled residents, bus service and community centers are not mere amenities for entertainment or convenience that make life a little nicer. They are lifelines, making it possible for them to participate as full citizens in our community. These services are basic underpinnings of the equality and democracy that are necessary to guarantee a minimum standard of humanity. Whether or not you believe there is wasteful spending in the city budget, or that our elected representatives should be more responsive and accountable, these are not excuses for allowing the total de-funding all community centers, all city funded bus service, and vital police and fire emergency services. Citizens Project urges you to make your voice heard in support of 2C. Get the facts and tell you friends, family and co-workers that this time we all need to support a modest tax increase to ensure the minimum in equal opportunity for all in our community.
