BBR How You Can Help - Promote YES on Measure DD in November 2008 !

"There are no such things as limits to growth, because there are no limits on the human capacity for intelligence, imagination and wonder."
- Ronald Reagan

"Initiative and Referendum (I&R) is a critical tool for taxpayers in the fight against unaccountable government and it has been the single most important factor behind the rise of constitutional limits on state and local taxes. I&R enables citizens to make a real difference in how they are governed and thus can reverse the twin problems of rising cynicism and declining participation."

- John Berthoud, President of the National Taxpayers Union

"There are risks and costs to a program of action, but they are far less than the long-range risks and costs of comfortable inaction”
- John F. Kennedy

Want to help behind the scenes?
We need financial assistance for legal fees and administrative fees such as printing and the website. Our opposition, Measure EE has a large budget for their public relations battle. As we move into the next phase of the Vote Campaign, we need to be prepared.

You can use the Paypal link on the home page or send a check made out to Building a Better Redondo to: BBR HQ, 602B S Broadway, Redondo Beach, CA 90277. Send whatever you can, but we are asking each supporter to provide at least a $5 donation. BBR Membership is $20. Every little bit counts.

If you donate $100 or more, we will need your name, address, occupation and phone number as required by the state. Thank you!!

Starting a Land Use Initiative in your City?
It takes a group of dedicated citizens but you can do it.
- You'll need a fearless leader who understands the facts and how to communicate them.
- You'll need to talk to a Land Use Attorney to learn more.
- You'll need funding for printing, legal fees, etc.
- You will need to have an excellent volunteer coordinator and signature gatherers who will all put their lives on hold while the Initiative is happening.
- You need a website.
- You need to be extra certain every signature is from a registered voter in your city and that they properly write their name and full address and city name
