Don't Make Me Use The Bat
jeffjcalweb said:that's the problem brick - you have to live in sacramento city limits to vote in the elections. the population base of sacto city vs sacto county is unequal. i believe sac city population is around 450K whereas the rest of the 1+ mil are sac county (ie Roseville, Rocklin, El Dorado Hills). we can't participate, yet the city council controls the kings fate as long as any deal involving an arena is within city limits.
You don't win elections by voting yourself. I have a plan here. And if it works we may be in position to do a lot more than just wring our hands. And we will have people from inside those districts involved. And people from outside the diistricts driving in to put boots on the ground.
If anybody knows, I would like to know how/where those council members up for election stnad -- beyond Cohn, who I already know about. If their "base" in their own districts is 4000 people, I just about guarantee you that number can be matched if need be. There are 4000 people in those districts who would vote against them if properly motivated. The Kings are that motivation. The key is having a plan on how to reach/motivate those people. Or in elicting promises from the politicians at hand in exchange for not interfering in their back yards.
