An alternative Direct Legislation Petition is currently being circulated in Evansville for placement on the ballot in the April 4, 2006 election.
It reads:
"Shall the following resolution be a proclamation of the majority will of the people of the City of Evansville, Wisconsin, USA ?"
"We, the citizens of Evansville, Wisconsin USA, while not necessarily fans of war, nor supporting or understanding every decision of this war, do desire to express by public referendum our strong support for our honorable President's leadership, and to express to our honorable men and women in uniform our great esteem and appreciation for their dangerous sacrifices on our behalf, as they labor without rest to protect our freedoms, and our way of life against the unfathomable wickedness of the forces of terror, and we desire our President and troops to not quit this fight until unquestioned victory is clearly won."
If you wish to sign this petition, you can contact Ron Gay at 882-5576 or Tony Ryerson at 882-0753.
If you do sign the petition, you might also want to change the date of the election that the petition wishes to be listed on since it is currently listed as April 4, 2000.
So, Wisconsin provides for the right of direct legislation under provisions of W.9.20.
What are your thoughts on the petition? You make the call.

Any comments from the people that were up in arms about the other one? I disagree with this referendum so I will note vote for it. However, I wholehearted support the right to bring it to the voting booth if you get the required amount of signatures.
ReplyDeleteI strongly urge those who are circulating the petition to make certain that all of the printed materials are correct.
ReplyDeleteAfter seeing the trouble the group in Monona had with an impropoer petition, I don't want this one to miss the ballot on a technicality.
I have one other question for MR Gay, Mr Ryerson and the others who support this question. With US troops mired in the middle of an Iraqi Civil War, what could possibly constitute unquestioned victory?
Don't offer words of support to our men and women in Iraq and then commit them to a cause that was lost before it began.

ReplyDeleteWhat did I say before, as I agree with the language of the resolution, why waste time??? Unless these guys are doing this just to piss particular people off then they are my heros. Here we go, next is a petition on the skatepark.
