“Floridians are sleepwalking into the Future” but not if Florida Hometown Democracy has anything to do about it

The developer shills continue to campaign against
the right of the people to vote on land use changes

How to stop the sprawl:
  • "Embrace a sense of urgency
  • Identify what lands and waters must be preserved and do something about it.
  • Build better and differently
  • Foster the magic of dialogue"
  • Continue the petition process and educate the voter
Commissioner Daisy Lynum of Orlando recently came out against Florida Hometown Democracy for all the usual lies such as Florida Hometown Democracy would disenfranchise voters. A Judge in Orlando stated that Daisy misused her power in a recent incident. Eye Witness News there has uncovered documents that show cause for a deeper probe. So much for Daisy.

In an e-mail I received from Joe Florio from northern Florida, he said, “…these guys will build until there isn't anything left to build on, and then they will build on top of everything they have already built... build going straight up. They will never be satisfied with the growth approvals they get every year; it seems they can always think of more reasons to build, even though we don't need more and our quality of life, and our existing home values are going down. They really don't care do they?”

I think this says it all and it’s why we need Florida Hometown Democracy to get on the ballot in 2010 and passed by 60% of the voters.
