Undo gerrymandering

Public Forum Letter
The Salt Lake Tribune
April 12, 2010

Redistricting happens only once every 10 years. In Utah, the process allows politicians to draw their own voting district boundaries, creating a conflict of interest where they can choose the voters who will re-elect them.

It's the voters who should choose their politicians!

The Fair Boundaries initiative is an issue of good government. It will create an independent process to keep communities intact, set anti-gerrymandering standards, and create an open and transparent process for redistricting in Utah.

Fair Boundaries volunteers have been working hard to get the choice to create the Utah Redistricting Standards Commission on the ballot this November. Take a moment and sign the petition today (go to www.fairboundaries.org). The deadline for signatures is April 15.

Undo gerrymandering in Utah. Sign the petition today!
