Fair Zoning Initiative - Sign the Petition!

Current city law limits discriminates against singles and renters -- both married and single renters.

The Initiative reads:

"No zoning ordinance may discriminate based on marital status, family status, real property ownership, and educational status."

The people of Provo deserve a chance to vote on this -- it will go on the Nov. 2009 ballot. We didn't receive enough help to make the deadline for the 2007 ballot but we are not giving up. It will still be an issue in this year's city council races!

Please sign the petition & then help us spread the word by
calling Roger @ 356-1032 or Thane @ 368-4441

We need about 3,500 signatures to play it safe (slightly less than 3,100 are required by law [10% of those that voted in Nov. 2004] but we want to collect a few hundred over just since some people might forget to register to vote before we turn in the signatures!)

Read the current laws and what will change!

Who knows better -- 7 city council members or 5 judges or over 41,000 voters in Provo?! The people must decide -- it is our duty to do so. We trust the people of Provo to make a wise decision.

When the legislature fails us, when the courts fail us, it is the right and the duty of the people to decide these matters -- power is derived from the people!
