Action Item: Write the County Council

ACTION TIME!

Bag People, listen up ... the County Council will be taking up the plastic bag ban & tax issue one more time in the next few weeks (exact date TBA). Now is the time to write the Councilors and ask them to:

1 - Take no action on the bag ban and tax, in other words kill it, in accordance with public wishes and the recommendation of the ESB (who voted TWICE to take no action on this).

2 - Not to waste any more public money and time on this issue. The ESB recommended a public education campaign paid for with your tax dollars. We don't need this, as we are intelligent enough to make our own decisions without government coercion. 
 
3 - Finally, kindly remind the Council that the community is overwhelmingly opposed to this measure by an 4 to 1 margin, that's 80% to 20%. It might also be good to mention that you will not be voting for them in the next time their seat comes up for re-election if they vote for a bag ban and tax, and that you, along with the members of this group, will be actively working to unseat them as well if they vote for a ban and/or tax.

Their email is: countycouncil@lacnm.us. Write them today, don't delay!

Thank you, let's win this fight, we're almost there! Join us on Facebook for more updates and share our blog with your friends!
