[lbo-talk] info query: anti-war referenda in Illinois... and beyond?

[Robert Naiman]

In Illinois there is a provision of law that allows members of the
public to place advisory referenda on the ballot simply by showing up
to an annual township meeting, proposing it, and carrying a majority
of people present. This can be quite easy to do, because it may well
be that the folks who are interested in doing this are the only ones
who show up.

The annual township meeting in Illinois is April 10:

1) I would be interested in hearing from anyone in Illinois who is
involved in or would be willing to be involved in trying to get
anti-war referenda on the ballot through this process.

2) I would be interested in hearing from anyone outside Illinois who
has a similar (easy) process for doing this in their area. We would
post the information and try to facilitate people taking advantage of
it.

Thanks,
