If you were a member of the Filipino Baptist Fellowship Church in Long Beach, you would be confronted with the fact that the California Redevelopment Agency wants to condemn your Church... If you are in Yolo County, your county is using police powers to try and seize the 16,300 Conaway Ranch, intending to own and manage the ranch itself... If you are the owner of 16 acres of residential land in Grand Terrace, California, city officials are trying to force a shopping center and a 'big box' store on your land...
These are just a small sampling of abuses that are currently taking place because California property owners are lacking basic protections to preserve their private property rights against over 6,000 governmental jurisdictions in California that have the power to seize your property!
In the next couple of days, over ONE MILLION letters will arrive into the mailboxes of California voters. Inside of them, an urgent appeal from popular State Senator (and GOP Lieutenant Governor nominee) Tom McClintock, asking voters to fill out a petition to help qualify the Protect Our Homes Act in time for the November 2006 election ballot
The mailing is being followed by automated phone calls from the Senator.
The FlashReport wants to give a big 'shout out' to Senator McClintock for signing this letter -- but would also like to acknowledge and recognize the Chairman of the Protect our Homes Coalition, Orange County Assemblywoman Mimi Walters. Walters is leading the effort to pass this measure, and it was her decision, in fact, to feature the popular McClintock in the letter that went out. As a matter of fact, I think it is rather selfless that Walters, who could have signed her own name to that letter, showed some political savvy by instead choosing to feature her popular colleague, McClintock.
According to consultant Kevin Spillane, the measure already has received several hundred thousand signatures, and there is no doubt that the Protect Our Homes Act will qualify for the ballot - but this mailer is intended to ensure that the petition drive results in enough signatures by mid-May, the deadline for making the November election!
While the two primary champions of this measure, Walters and McClintock, are Republicans, Spillane points out that his measure will undoubtedly enjoy wide appeal from Democrats, Independents, Libertarians and others.
Spillane wants to encourage anyone who would like more petitions to call the Coalition office at 916-924-7501. You can also reach the Coalition by clicking through on their advertisement on this website.

PING!
McClintock Ping List.
Please freepmail me if you want on or off this list
Wow....we wish you the best
Do NOT... repeat... Do NOT use the Petition PDF file on this website to get signatures for the initiative.
If you would like copies of the petition call the Coalition office at 916-924-7501. They will mail them to you.
The reason I'm making this request is that we have seen in the past people use downloaded petitions and copied them incorrectly and ended up with all the signatures on that page being thrown out.
...to preserve their private property rights against over 6,000 governmental jurisdictions in California that have the power to seize your property!

And there are liberal morons that would put a Marxist president in the White House...even after what the socialist activists on the SCOTUS have done to the Fifth Amendment. The far-left is loving it -- right out of the Communist Manifesto....

Thanks for that info...will have ten signatures for them as soon as I receive the petition!
I think you need to ask that question of calcowgirl....she posted the article.....I would sign the petion but I am from the Hoosier Heartland.
"The establishment of an American Soviet government will involve the confiscation of large landed estates in town and country, and also, the whole body of forests, mineral deposits, lakes, rivers and so on."- William Z. Foster, National Chairman of the Communist Party,
restating point one of the Communist Manifesto in 1932,
“The abolition of private property.”
lol sorry to point my reply at you, when I was asking calcowgirl. Based on comment above, perhaps it's best not to print it myself, unless she confirms otherwise..
The rules about printing are really, really picky about how it is printed (e.g. margins, etc) and as So Cal Rocket pointed out in post#5 above, the preference is to use petitions that are mailed to you instead of downloading yourself. (A phone number to request petitions is provided in post#5) In the past, they've had to disqualify a lot of signatures due to mistakes which is a darn shame!
BUT... once you have a petition, yes, you can sign and gather signatures yourself, but only within the county you reside and signatures must be only from voters in that same county.
If I understand Fleishman's article, many of us (1 million) should be receiving petitions in the mail. That should make it pretty easy to sign them and send them back.... and to fill the petitons up with signatures from friends, family, neighbors, co-workers, etc.
BTW... no question is dense. I was asking the same questions a few years back. :-)
Any well wishes for California are warmly accepted and appreciated!
We need all the help we can get!
thanks for the guidelines! I'll be requesting a petition for my family.

And glad that you were and are still asking questions to this very day. ;-)
Would this be of interest to you?
LOL. I'm as curious as a cat! Those questions need answers, darn it!
And all the good freepers always seem to know how/where to find the answers!
Hey, EGD!
Wasn't this Hoosier Heartland message refreshing compared to
all those "hope you fall in the ocean" California bashing comments?
I didn't want you to miss it! :-)
