Looks like the folks that aren't for the county's Critical Area Ordinance have a website. Also looks like the progressives caught on and "freeped" their poll.

I just got a most curious piece of mail. Seems that the Developers and Realtors have teamed up to cook up a grassroots organization to stop the County's Critical Areas Ordinances. They are calling themselves "People for Responsible Environmental Policies". Looks like they are throwing some money into it and hoping to add fundraising to it. See for yourself: http://www.preptc.com/. You can even vote for "Who is impacted the most by Thurston County's proposed CAO's?". I voted for "Developers". They are currently winning by 55%.

Since the website is built on geeklog, anyone can sign up for an account. I did on a lark, but they haven't opened up persmissions yet to allow anyone to post content.
