[Durham INC] Fw: [DFO] thank Hagan for her vote; important Jordan Lake issue; tickets to the Jefferson-Jackson dinner

[Melissa Rooney]

Scroll down to see DFO's request for people to stand up for Jordan Lake -- our democratic process/rules, and the need for a truly independent survey.

I hope you all can make the April 13th BOCC meeting (200 East Main, 7 PM). We need as many supporters of an Independent Survey as possible. And we need to show that this is not just an issue with South Durham citizens. We also need to show diversity on this issue, both in geographical location and in ethnicity and background.

If you haven't signed the petition, please do so now. We'd sure like to hit 2000 signatures by the April 13 meeting...

And if you absolutely cannot make the April 13th meeting, please email your county commissioners and tell them of your stance/concerns: commissioners at durhamcountync.gov

Thanks!
Melissa (Rooney)

Hello, Durham for Obama!

THANK SENATOR KAY HAGAN
Good news:  Kay Hagan broke with some of the conservative Democrats she has
been associating with--Senator Bayh from Indiana and Senator Nelson from
Nebraska--to vote in favor of the President's budget proposal.  Surely, our
grassroots phone calls and emails to her office helped!  Now, it would be a
great idea to call or email her office and thank her for her vote.  This
lets her know that we appreciate her vote and also that we are watching
closely what she does.  There will be more votes and discussion on the
budget, and we need her to know that we are watching.

Her contact information:

Email:  senator_hagan at hagan,senate.gov
Call her, toll-free, at: 1-877-852-9462
or in her Raleigh office at: 919-856-4630.

<http://hagan.senate.gov/contact/contact.cfm>write to her at:
B40A Dirksen Senate Office Building
Washington, DC 20510


CALL TO ACTION ON JORDAN LAKE
Durham for Obama's Environment Working Group urges DFO members to take
action on an important issue affecting Jordan Lake.  On April 13, the Durham
County Board of Commissioners will listen to comments from the public then
vote on an issue of tremendous importance.  At stake is not only the quality
of water in the Jordan Lake reservoir, but also the integrity of the process
by which land use decisions are made in Durham.

The issue is explained at length on this page:
http://durhamforobama.org/environment/jordan_lake.php


DFO's Environment Working Group urges you to contact Commissioners Michael
Page (699-3299 mpage at durhamcountync.gov) and Brenda Howerton
(544-4160bhowerton at durhamcountync.gov)
before April 13 to express opposition to adoption of the change based on
Hunter’s survey, and support for
an independent survey of the lake margin.

Also, please come to the April 13 meeting (starting at 7:00 pm at the Durham
County Government Administrative Complex, 2nd floor, Commissioners' Meeting
Room, 200 East Main Street), if you can.  Let your public officials know
that you want land use decisions to be based on accurate information, not on
political expediency.

Questions?  Please contact Kathi at: kathi at durhamforobama.org
