On January 12th, we began distribution of our hard-copy petition to get a ban consumer fireworks initiative considered by the Bellingham City Council and/or on the General Election ballot in November, 2012. Many folks who endorsed our on-line petition are taking copies of our hard-copy petition and beginning to gather signatures. More signature gatherers are needed! If you would like to help, please post us at cfw_in_bellingham@juno.com or freedomfromfireworksbham@gmail.com. THANKS!
BTW, you can view a "text-only" copy by clicking on "Hard-Copy Petition" on the right.

New Year's Barrage
On the South Side last evening, the marking of the New Year once again lit up the skies and shook the earth. The existing Bellingham ordinance (BMC 10.24.130) prohibits overhead consumer fireworks as well as percussive devices. Although so-called "safe and sane" consumer fireworks were OK between 6:00PM yesterday evening until 1:00AM this morning, the lit up skies and shaking earth indicated that little or no "safe and sane" activity took place. Very soon the registered voters in our City will have an opportunity to put an initiative forth to ban all consumer fireworks in Bellingham. Let's work together to curtail these twice a year barrages of consumer fireworks.
