Hope you'll join us and help us reclaim our democracy, beginning right here in Shoreline, Washington.

“Although I am...Comment by "Cascadienne"<br /><br />“Although I am not a Shoreline resident, I am in the 32nd LD. What a travesty and a tragedy — to limit the right of citizens to speak publicly to their elected representatives on the Shoreline City Council! In the 32nd LD, we have just launched a series of ten (1) sessions devoted to increasing our knowledge of democracy. The curriculum was prepared mostly by the Women's International League for Peace & Freedom. We're calling our program "Kitchen Table Democracy" and invite all who are concerned about our broken democracy to join us. If interested, please call 425-774-6546 and leave a message. We'll call you back with information.”Janet Wayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16963938962898188967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4002316433701252522.post-78725468283160323542010-04-27T21:16:56.506-07:002010-04-27T21:16:56.506-07:00Janet

To me that is what democracy is about. As I understand it, this move removes that all important reason for respect. <br /><br />Cumbersome as the process is, there is no substitute for open public forum before genuinely interested council members. If efficiencies arise from such limitations, we must ask, "Toward, what end?"<br />Saskia Davis for Kathy Davis,<br />Fircrest ResidentSaskia Davishttps://www.ddexchange.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
