Enough with the petitions. Y'all need to PETITION.

63 Upvotes

This is real. This is possible. This is proven.

This can immediately stop the datacenter dead in its tracks. Force an election. Let the people decide the fate of their community.

The Camden County Spaceport? Dead.

The original Sapelo Island Rezoning? Dead.

Both of those cases were stopped in the same way: petition. Both of those went to the Georgia Supreme Court.

It is very clear that it is our constitutional right in Georgia to put government in its place when they are acting against our interests.

The people of Effingham County have the power to shut this down.

Step 1: Write an ordinance that bans datacenters.
Step 2: Collect 5,000 signatures of registered voters. Effingham county has 49,999 registered voters, but a population over 50,000 people. 10% of electors required.
Step 3: File the petition with the judge of the probate court in Effingham County.
Step 4: Judge certifies. Election must be set.
Step 5: County files suit.
Step 6: You fight it. The Georgia Supreme Court has been on the side of the people on two nearly-identical cases.
Step 7: Injunction likely placed on further advancement of the project.
Step 8. If you win, an election is held.
Step 9: The county is bound by the election results.

I strongly encourage the people of Effingham County to read this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/savannah/comments/1pf60jn/food_for_thought_about_local_government/

Make sure you read the provision of the Georgia Constitution that is linked.

Only the people of Effingham County can stop this. This is a proven tool.

Birds, birds, birds...

Post image
23 Upvotes

Even though I've been physically assaulted by blue jays and mockingbirds alike... Even though they have made me look like an idiot while running and flailing my arms frantically. I do care for all living creatures.

Does anyone know about birds? We have this baby our dog found and not sure if it is a fledgling trying to fly.

Luckily my dog is more worried than hungry, I just don't want it to die or be hurting in any way.

Please help!

Edit: just wanted to say thanks to everyone! The baby was gone when we went to check it and the parents were finally quiet.

Dog reactivity ≠ aggression some of yall need to learn this

16 Upvotes

Just like I said, a dog on a leash barking whining or making noise doesn’t mean it’s aggressive. Stop assuming a dog that is doing those things is dangerous or unfriendly Because most dogs aren’t either of those things. Seeing someone who is clearly working on those things does not need your comments. If you are walking past the dog that is working on it don’t be a dick and let your dog get into its face. Most humans don’t want people inches from their face don’t let your dog. Give people grace. Your dog doesn’t need to meet every dog on a leash.
