Dear friends,

Sorry if you have already received the similar mail...but I am sure
that you
all would love to help Burning Man as much as I do.  Thanks!

Burning man needs help
5000 signatures needed, less than [2060] for now...

http://www.petitiononline.com/burn42/petition.html

Burning Man (www.burningman.com) needs a bit of help,
and it needs it fast, so please read on. As you may or
may
not have heard, the Washoe County Board of
Commissioners have refused Burning Man a
permit to use property they own near Gerlach, from
which the event is staged. This
staging area is the ranch from which all operations
are run, and where all the gear is
stored. Apparently, if they can't use this land, it
will make it nearly impossible to organize
the event.

BM has requested that as many people as possible show
up at the county meeting on June
10th in Reno to voice their opinions, and that those
who can't make it write letters to the
Reno Gazette voicing their displeasure. I figure that
a petition wouldn't hurt either, so
here's the plan:

We need to get at least 5000 signatures [by June 10!],
so we really need to move on
this. Please go to the petition site at the link below
immediately, sign it, and forward this
email to as many sympathetic people as possible. It
would probably work best to simply
copy andpaste this msg into a new email rather then
forward so as to avoid getting the
text all screwed up, as often happens in forwards.
I'll be informing the BM organizers of the
petition in hope that they also spread the word, and
so that they can bring a printout to
the meeting.

Again... sorry for the spam, but I figured that this
is worth it. The petition is can be signed
here:
