As of 8/15/09, Fair Districts Florida reports they have about 1,500,000 of the petitions needed to get redistricting standards on the 2010 ballot. The required amount is approximately 1,600,000. We're almost there! However, the state of Florida charges 10 cents to process each petition so on 9/9/09, FairDistrictsFlorida.org aims to host the biggest online fundraiser in Florida history. Please go to FairDistrictsFlorida for more information.
The LWV of Tallahassee gives you an opportunity to help with this effort any Saturday morning at the Downtown Market where we have a table staffed with volunteers.
PLEASE call Peggy Ramsey at 386-7589 or ramsey020@comcast.net for information and to lend a hand. The Market is open from 9 am to 3 pm, but you may stay only as long as you have time.
How do we stop legislators from rigging their districts?
FairDistrictsFlorida.org aims to bring fairness to redistricting and give voters a real voice in choosing their representatives.
We can amend the Florida Constitution to make the legislature follow fairness standards in redistricting.
We need over 1.6 million voters to sign petitions.
Get active! Sign the petitions! Get others to sign! Volunteer and Contribute!
