We Need Your Help! |

COUNT!, a grassroots citizens group in Boulder, Colorado, needs your help.
We have successfully petitioned to put a measure on
the November 2000 ballot prohibiting two
kinds of traffic devices on Boulder's public streets: vertical
obstacles like speed bumps and raised intersections,
and traffic circles too small to be
negotiated quickly by emergency vehicles. Now we need support for our
election campaign.
This ballot measure is the first we know of anywhere in the world to ban construction of these obstacles and require those already built to be removed. It offers uniform protection to residents throughout the city, eliminating political pressures that corrupt decisions surrounding traffic mitigation. And it targets only devices that delay emergency response. Other methods of speed enforcement will be unaffected. Please help us with a contribution to our educational efforts. Our success will empower opponents of traffic mitigation everywhere. A contribution of $25 or $50 will go a long way. If you can spare $100, even better. Boulder's campaign finance disclosure laws require that we report contributions. But, contributions can be made anonymously. Make checks payable to SECONDS COUNT, P. O. BOX 19972, BOULDER, CO 80308-9972. If you have questions, please call us at 303-541-0151, or contact us by e-mail at warhul99@aol.com , ddwagner@aol.com , or erinard@uswest.net. Thank you very much for your support, and please feel free to forward this request to anyone you know who may be interested. Warren Hultquist, Chair
A copy of our report is filed with the City Clerk of the City of Boulder, Colorado.
