8. How to get a non-binding public opinion onto your town's election ballot
Edited on Sat Mar-11-06 11:10 AM by paineinthearse
A non-binding public opinion advisory question can be placed on a local election ballot in accordance with General Laws chapter 53, section 18A.

http://www.mass.gov/legis/laws/mgl/53-18a.htm

In a nutshell, the question requires just 10 registered voters, but must be submitted at least 35 days before the election

NOW.....let's start apending language that we can draw on in the areas of

IMPEACHMENT OF * / CHENEY

USE OF MASSACHUSETTS NATIONAL GUARD TROOPS IN IRAQ

WITHDRAWAL OF US TROOPS FROM IRAQ (could someone with a star search in the Mass forum the language Arlington used last year?)

other?
