5 Things YOU can do to stop the Rezoning of Port Westward from Prime Agricultural to Rural Industrial!
Even if you do ONE thing you will have done a lot.
1. TALK! Talk to your friends and neighbors! Make them aware of the issue and that there are two sides to this story. You don't have to argue if they don't agree...just make them aware.
2. CONTACT! Write a letter or call your Senators and Representatives! Let them know you do not want fossil fuels shipped by rail dividing your communities and damaging your quality of life! Write a letter to the opinion section of your local paper. Elected officials read these sections to gauge public sentiment!
3. SIGN! Sign our petition! Start one of your own directed to elected officials making decisions about our communities that you disagree with!
4. TESTIFY! Attend hearings and Commission meetings open to the public. Speak your mind whenever you get the opportunity! We need to make our voices heard or the decision makers will follow the money. It takes a lot of small public voices to overcome the lure of Fortune 500 donations!
5. ENCOURAGE! Spread the word and encourage others to act! Communication is critical. Join discussion groups. Keep yourself well-informed so that you can be a conduit for updates!
