Florida Hometown Democracy …putting people back in charge of the places where they live.

Amendment 4 is a proposed amendment to the Florida Constitution sponsored by Florida Hometown Democracy, a non-partisan, grass-roots group. Over 1,000,000 Florida voters signed the Florida Hometown Democracy petition to qualify this important citizens’ reform for the November 2010 ballot. Amendment 4 will give you, the Florida voter, a vote on growth in your community.

Each of us has a huge stake in growth decisions that can drastically alter our community’s future for generations to come. Each community has adopted its own comprehensive plan: a long-term master plan for sensible growth. Currently, elected city and county commissioners have exclusive power to make changes to the plan. Rising taxes, falling home values, gridlocked roads, dwindling water supplies and Florida’s disappearing beauty are just some of the devastating consequences of Florida politicians’ habit of rubberstamping speculative plan changes.

Hometown Democracy Amendment 4 changes all that by giving voters veto power over these changes to your community’s master plan for growth.

With Amendment 4, your power to vote on growth will enable you to preserve your neighborhood and your community and protect the value of your home.
