  1. What the heck! How stupid can people get. So because they can't pay their utilities they decide to go ahead and strip people's rights and then make them more or less pay for them back. I say fire the entire council and strip away all of their rights and see how they like it.

  2. I was thinking that a recall election would be in order....It would only take a petition, right? And in a town of around 800, it shouldn't be to hard to get the signatures needed.

  3. They must be doing something illegal and they don't want anyone to know. That is the first thought that went through my mind. Plus, they are tossing out the entire 1st amendment. Not legal in the slightest.

  4. Get used to it. Legal is what the gov says it is now. Expect this kind of thing to grow rampantly from here out. You have no rights anymore, have not for many years. Soon, they will give up even lip service to you having rights.

  5. Sounds to me that this story runs a lot deeper than it appears on the surface!

    It would be interesting to see what happens!

  7. This is exactly where the midset of government depenency leads. To the governement as your parent, and grantor or revoker of privileges. That all rights are granted by your government or the paper that founds it not that they are inate.

    Mommy needs to know what you are talking about so make sure you ask mommy who you can bring over. Hey, she's paying the bills like you asked her to.

  8. Let us, for a moment, forgo the US Constitution and look to a more immediate Constitution. The Constitution of the State of Arkansas, Article 2, sections quoted:

    4. Right of assembly and of petition.
    The right of the people peaceably to assemble, to consult for the common good; and to petition,
    by address or remonstrance, the government, or any department thereof, shall never be abridged.

    Next:

    6. Liberty of the press and of speech - Libel.
    The liberty of the press shall forever remain inviolate. The free communication of thoughts and opinions, is one of the invaluable rights of man; and all persons may freely write and publish their sentiments on all subjects, being responsible for the abuse of such right. In all criminal prosecutions for libel, the truth may be given in evidence to the jury; and, if it shall appear to the jury that the matter charged as libelous is true, and was published with good motives and for justifiable ends, the party charged shall be acquitted.

    And finally:

    12. Suspension of laws.
    No power of suspending or setting aside the law or laws of the State, shall ever be exercised, except by the General Assembly.

    So this little township council is in direct violation of the State Constitutional laws, and the smart Mayor sues the garbanzo beans out of them in State Court, especially if there are any arrests in support of this "Law" passed by this "Council".

  9. This is terrible. It is time for the people to get their rights back, this is suppose to be a govenment by the people and for the people.

  13. This is close to what is happening here in Quartzsite, Arizona. Only in Quartzsite, after the citizens were arrested for speaking in public, the City Council held a private meeting and voted to put the town into Martial Law.

    Now the Major, who was the highest ranking ELECTED official, is powerless to the Chief of Police...who, of course, is "in bed" with the City Council.

    This is spreading across the country. Quartzsite has shown that the local people alone can't stop it...only expose it. It will be up to the Courts to stop it.

    Unfortunately, I have lost faith in the Courts. My focus now is small arms accumulation.
