Repeal the "Urgency Ordinance"!
Repeal the "Urgency Ordinance". It is unnecessary and unwanted. We don't need restrictions on our First Amendment Rights. What is urgent is to respectfully address Occupy Eureka and the homeless and mental health issues as a community. Repeal the "Urgency Ordinance", do not pass a county-wide ordinance, and work with the community to solve these growing problems.
Why is this important?
Our First Amendment Rights are most important to our freedom and democracy. The Humboldt County Board of Supervisors on March 27, 2012 passed an "Urgency Ordinance" that limits our freedom of speech. This over-reaction was caused by their unwillingness to deal respectfully with Occupy Eureka and the homeless and mental health issues at the courthouse. On June 19, 2012, they could decide on a new ordinance that applies to all County properties. Please sign this petition.
