Here is a copy of our flyer (or it is close, we made a few changes right before they went to print).



THE COMMITTEE FOR COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT

D*****/W***** stickers are attached for your convenience to use on the ballot or you can simply write in their names.

DEAR CONCERNED CITIZEN,



These are exciting times in ***** ****. We would like to thank all those that filled out our citizen's survey that The Committee for Community Involvement (CCI) circulated in April.

We also would like to thank all of you who signed the 3 petitions to get the special questions on June 8th ballot. The following results are to the questions from the survey that deal with this election and the 3 special questions that will be on the ballot..



99% of respondents believe they should have the right to hire anyone they choose to work on their property.



96% of respondents do not believe that they should have to get a permit from the city to work on their own property.



97% of respondents do not believe that the City Commission had the best interest of the citizens of ****** **** when they unanimously voted in the new codes, fees and permit requirements.



99% of the respondents do not believe that the new permits, licenses, fees and regulations would make ****** **** a better place to live.



91% of the respondents favor a repeal of the new building permits, licenses and fees and rely on the State building codes.



96% of the respondents believe that the city should have done their own survey before enacting the new permit, licenses, fees and regulations.



CCI also asked the citizens who they would like to see run for City Commission in the June 8th city election. B** D**** and J** W****** were the top two names that were suggested.



(CCI) is hopeful that you will join us to make ****** **** the best it can be for our families to enjoy and a community of which we can be proud. We ask that you join us in our efforts to put some common sense and communication back into city government. We understand that they have a very difficult job and we want to help them and make their job easier.



Committee for Community Involvement urges you to vote YES on the 3 Special City Initiated Questions dealing with licenses, permits and fees. A Yes vote protects your rights as a home- owner. A No vote means you need pay the city and get permission from the city to maintain your home. We also offer you a real choice, WRITE IN B** D***** AND J** W****** for City Commission.



For more information or to be put on CCI mailing list, e-mail us at ************cci@yahoo.com

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Our bumper stickers came in today "STAND UP AND BE HEARD" OR "SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP" with CCI and our address and e-mail address on the bottom. For the new comers here, the mayor of our fine city told a citizen at our town meeting back in March to "SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP, I DON'T WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU" when he stood up to ask a question in an open forum.



Tuesday is getting closer......tick-tick-tick
