Florida Hometown Democracy - Why it's Necessary

Al Forman, Martin County Defender, says, "I think we are all justified in tarring the present opponents of A4 with the record of those who performed dirty tricks against the FHD petition," speaking about the Supreme Court's favorable decision on Thursday for FHD and against the Florida Chamber, John Thrasher and all their downright lies. They are now exposed. Next, the politicians. We will be able to do just that on November 2 this year.

This is a video from June 2009 when FHD was still asking for signatures on its petition. It is now on the ballot, so signatures are not a concern, but this short video is very informative on Comprehensive Plans and why FHD is necessary. Notice the sprawl--something we want to end unless you just want it.

Your vote will count on how your city will look if a municipality dares change its Comprehensive Plan for a developer. You, as a voting citizen of Florida, will have the right to say "yes" or "no," something not in the developer's play book. We know that politicians just don't want you to have any power or say over your own community. Their favorite line is, "Leave it to us; that's why you voted for us." And look what they have done.
