hey  ppl
U plan to head to the Playa, take 1 minute and 12 seconds to sign ... forwading message ...
5000 signatures needed, less than 400 for now...
http://www.petitiononline.com/burn42/petition.html
Burning Man needs a bit of help, and it needs it fast, so please read
on. As you may or may
not have heard, the Washoe County Board of Commissioners have refused
Burning Man a
permit to use property they own near Gerlach, from which the event is
staged. This
staging area is the ranch from which all operations are run, and where
all the gear is
stored. Apparently, if they can't use this land, it will make it nearly
impossible to organize
the event.
BM has requested that as many people as possible show up at the county
meeting on June
10th in Reno to voice their opinions, and that those who can't make it
write letters to the
Reno Gazette voicing their displeasure. I figure that a petition
wouldn't hurt either, so
here's the plan:
We need to get at least 5000 signatures in the next 4 days, so we
really need to move on
this. Please go to the petition site at the link below immediately,
sign it, and forward this
email to as many sympathetic people as possible. It would probably work
best to simply
copy andpaste this msg into a new email rather then forward so as to
avoid getting the
text all screwed up, as often happens in forwards. I'll be informing
the BM organizers of the
petition in hope that they also spread the word, and so that they can
bring a printout to
the meeting.
