We have a petition! It took a bit because we wanted to make sure we were going about it the right way. We have an online petition and a paper petition. Please sign only one, but send people to sign one of them. They don't have to want chickens themselves, just be supportive of the idea. If someone likes fresh eggs, sustainable living, and the right to choose what reasonable pets a person can keep, they could be willing to sign the petition.
It asks for your address. We will not be tracking or bugging you, we just need to verify that you are an Aurora resident. We need all petitions signed by September 16th, 2013.
The link to the online petition is: http://www.change.org/petitions/aurora-colorado-city-council-to-allow-homeowners-to-keep-chickens
The paper petition, which you can print out and share with your neighbors, is here: http://www.scribd.com/doc/160359637/Petition.
Sally Mounier has a Town Hall Meeting on Tuesday, Sept 10, to which chicken supporters are invited. These meetings will give us a chance to be heard, but also to determine who on council might be supportive, on the fence, or opposed to the changed chicken ordinance. Please join us at MLK library at 6 pm.
Finally, besides signing the petition, people can still call their city council representative. Most people don't know what ward they are in. To find out go here: http://apps.auroragov.org/Apps/Portal/Pages/government.cfm. Contact your ward representative and the At Large members, who represent the whole city.
