Unity Zoning Vote

[Dave Ridley]

Jim are you sure it won't backfire , you being at a local vote poll when you're from Nashua?  I'm thinking we may usually want to limit ourselves to subservient logistial and creative support when operating as outsiders on something. 

[Dave Ridley]

The other sign suggestion was

ZONING KILLS OWNING
VOTE NO MARCH 8

[Dave Ridley]

Another idea might be

Stop zoning fees
vote no march 8

Hi all, Unity is my old hood. I grew up in the area. I'd totally love to go and I'll get in touch with as many folkses as I can!!!

I am hoping on going with Mary Gere, door to door, she is a Town Selectman in Unity. STill waiting for more details. Current and former residents of Unity very strongly encouraged to come help. *winks at Rodinia*

42 Mac Ave. representin. My street didn't even have a name until I was in highschool!! I can recall many a night as a naughty teen sneaking out of the house and walking down Unity Road jumping in the bushes every time a car drove past!!!

What do you think, Rodinia?? Unity is still pretty small, no?? Does everybody still recognize everybody else in town?

During campaign season, I am planning to fetch coffee for local activists, start up conversations in restaurants and businesses, hold signs, put bumper stickers on my car, inquire about buying a local woodlot, etc., but then I am from a lot further away than Nashua....

Oh, yeah -- AND delivering fliers with those nifty newspaper-lance-delivery thingies.

Unity to me seemed to be an area more than a town. There isn't a downtown or anything. If you lived in Unity, chances are you owned your own home and a nice size parcel of land. Unity residents depending on where they lived went to school in different towns. Its very rural. People certainly did know their neighbors though.

BlueLu, I am racking my brain to think but I really don't remember there being restaurants in Unity. Maybe a few auto repairs, maybe a hairdresser or two.....I'll look and see what I can find.

Lloyd, I'm totally clueless about what you meant in your last post.....could you elaborate for a gal please?  ??? 

[AlanM]

Lloyd has that effect on people sometimes.  But we love him.

Oh, well, I was talking in general terms -- about wherever I end up helping out.? That may not be in Unity, but it might be, so ignore parts that do not apply to a particular town.

I also really do not mean to rain on JP's approach.? Being a selectman's door-to-door assistant could be a very good strategy: playing on the principle that if 1 person tells you what (s)he believes, (s)he may be a lone nut, but if 2 people tell you, they are a school of thought.? I was hoping you would have an opinion on that, given the way people are and the way they interact in a place like Unity.

When you make the signs-are they just posterboard or cardboard?  It seems that wouldn't hold up much under the weather.  Is there someplace we can buy more weather durable sing materials.  (I am new at this!)

Here are the sign suggestions so far:

SAVE YOUR
PROPERTY RIGHTS
VOTE NO
ON MARCH 8TH

DON'T BE FINED
VOTE NO TO FEES
MARCH 8TH

DO YOU NEED
PERMISSION
TO USE YOUR LAND?
VOTE "NO" MARCH 8TH

Write in                                       
Robin Booth                                 
Planning Board                           

Write in
Donna Sweetser
Zoning Board of Adjustment

Good point. If someone has a screen printer, we can use the reverse of my old yard signs...
