1. PARENTAL NOTIFICATION INITIATIVE.
We told you the people directing the Parents Right to Know initiative were not deterred by the loss on the November ballot.
The Initiative has been refiled and signature gathering will soon begin.
DEADLINE: May 15 is a deadline for signatures to be turned in to the PRK headquarters. 500,000 plus valid signatures are required to get the initiative approved.
BALLOT DATE: November 7, 2006, is the target ballot.
INFORMATION: The same two web sites are once again in operation. For information, church bulletin notices, initiative petitions (when prepared) and to sign up to help promote the petition: www.yeson73.net and www.parentsright2know.org.
Right now your help is urgently sought to make contact with Catholic Church Deanery Presidents, Protestant church Pastors and social groups to request their assistance in distributing petitions.
The more volunteers coming forward to collect signatures means the fewer paid signature gatherers and the more money available to go into the advertising campaign.
If you wish to read the initiative now it can be viewed on the Legislative Analysts online - www.lao.ca.gov.
PLEASE: CONTACT US AT CALLIFEADVOCATES@SBCGLOBAL.NET OR THE PARENTS RIGHT TO KNOW INITIATIVE HEADQUARTERS, BUT PLEASE DO NOT DELAY.
