Do we want to be water renters, or water owners?
Water is essential to our lives, as well as our local economy. Yet for decades we have paid to rent our most precious resource. Meanwhile our limited water sources have been wasted and damaged by mismanagement. We have waited years for Cal Am management to come up with new water solutions, while paying rate hikes for every failed attempt.
Public water NOW is the solution. With Measure O on the June Ballot, it is within our power to replace the profit-driven corporate board room with community representatives who we can hold accountable. The real risk our community cannot afford is betting on a private company having any concern for our interests.
Vote Yes on Measure O to take charge of our water, and join our grassroots effort by advocating for Measure O in your community.
We are a newly formed organization with big plans. But we need your help if there is any chance at reaching our goal which is to pass an initiative on the June 2014 ballot calling for the public purchase of the water system by the MPWMD. So please consider joining us.
We strongly believe our community should own the water system. But why? Check out our reasons to buy out Cal-Am now before it's too late. We are sure you will be convinced like we are that now is the time. For our Public vs. Private arguments click here.
Our plans are ambitious, but our resources are not. Please help us fund our activities. Getting 6,000 signatures for the initiative and mounting a successful election campaign is going to cost money even with our army of volunteers. So contribute now.
