A new green-leaning group has formed to campaign against both viaduct options on the March ballot. NoAndHellNo.org is a grassroots effort that is running a do-it-yourself campaign with printable signs on its site. Organizers aren't asking for any money.

On March 13, vote NO and NO. Seattle citizens have been offered two unacceptable options for replacing the Viaduct: a hideous elevated structure that will be taller than the existing one and 50% -- 200% wider, or a late-breaking, financially questionable "tunnel lite" option. Seattle can do better, and telling leaders neither on this non-binding advisory ballot makes that point clear. Vote NO and NO.

The Sierra Club, Friends of Seattle, and People's Waterfront Coalition have endorsed the campaign. Lawrence Winnerman, one of the organizers who says he got involved through 36th District Democratic politics, told me:

We're trying to run a scrappy, grassroots campaign on the premise that we know of so many people dissatisfied with both options, who all needed a unifying campaign. Our most basic message is: it's OK to vote no on Measures 1 & 2.
