 Vanderburgh County Tea Party Patriots Support CCO Editorial

Dear Patriots:

Take a look at this editorial in the City-County Observer, concerning our Evansville City Council… I encourage all to read and post a comment.

EDITORIAL: CITY COUNTY OBSERVER SOUNDS THE ALARM ABOUT THE RAMIFICATION G-2016-21.

The so-called “employees” of We the People mentioned in this piece are overreaching in their role as representatives of the citizenry of Evansville and their power within that role, according to information in this City-County Observer editorial.

Monday night, July 11, 2016 is the next Evansville City Council meeting in Room 301 of the Evansville City Center. The meeting usually begins at 5:30 p.m. and the committees meet at 5:00 p.m. or slightly later.

Please plan to attend and voice your concerns about this possible infringement of your rights as a citizen and resident of this city. Muzzling your First Amendment rights to free speech and unreasonably limiting citizen participation in local government is reminiscent of Dusseldorf circa 1938. Take a look at Ordinance G-2016-21 and voice your concerns about the plans for LESS transparency and accountability, particularly Section 6 of the Ordinance!

In Liberty,

Jim Bratten
Director, Hoosier Patriots

  1. Great idea, but if too many remonstrators show up they might trot their ordinance out, pre-passing, for a test run.

  2. No real downside to letting the people be heard. The council can, and will, vote as they’ve decided to anyway. The optics of something like this are probably worse than the reality. I guess the little satraps just want to show they can do it, that they have ‘the power’.

  3. My wish is that some lawyer or group of lawyers fills a law suit on this and gets a court (judge) to throw out this ordinance as being unconstitutional on the basis of the right to free speech. Mosby and her follows won’t be able to stop the Judge from doing such a thing. That would put her in her place faster than anything. Maybe he can order her to stop wearing that Hideous yellow jacket at city council meetings. Having spoken to the City Council a time or two I know what it’s like to get cut off by a nasty City Councilman. They can be rude and ignorant at the same time. People should really protest this ordinance as what it’s trying to do. And the people who support this ordinance on the city council should be thrown out of office by the voters. If they don’t have the patience to listen to the citizens of this city during their meetings then they have no BUSINESS being on city council. They think that they are too good for us? I call BS on that. They work for the people of Evansville (The TAXPAYERS) who fund their salary and benefits. If they did that in a private business they would be fired in a heart beat. Imagine Missy telling a Client that they can’t talk to her about the house they want to buy unless it’s between the hours of 6 pm and 6:30 PM on Monday night and the conversation can only last 3 minutes.

  4. The purpose of a public meeting of a legislative body is to allow the public to observe, not necessarily to participate. Paul Ryan doesn’t open the floor of the House for public comment in a nod to free speech, and the city council doesn’t have to either. I am not condoning the behavior of the council, and I tend to agree that the optics on this subject are horrible. The chair has the option to open a meeting for public comment, and can place limitations on said comments on a case by case basis without the adoption of an ordinance. I think the ordinance is a foolish waste of time, and I think Mosby is pushing it for strictly vindictive reasons.
