Community
Campaign Hart (CCH)
Charter
The CCH is an
association formed out of members of the general public
with the purpose of empowering the community to effectively represent
itself on issues of significant local concern. The group believes that
in order to ensure that the statute authorities make fair,
representative and just decisions the deliberation process can not
exclude the local community.
The CCH exists
to combine the vastly varied skill sets of it's members
to analyse, publicize, question and challenge the assumptions,
assertions, data and legislation being used to determine issues of
significant local importance.
The CCH is
an inclusive body which will give help to the less 'media' enabled
members of our society, ensuring that they are able to effectively
express their view. The CCH will also strive to ensure that where
appropriate the most sophisticated techniques of communication and use
of media shall be deployed to ensure that the community is not ignored.
The CCH aims to
represent the community as a whole and has no political
affiliation. However to combat disenfranchisement brought about through
any blatant discounting of universal public opinion by our elected
representatives, the CCH reserve the right to field our own
(independent) candidates in selected seats at future district and
county elections.
