Was this in Knoxville, IA ?
Local, State and National leaders across the country have proven to be unresponsive to the expressed desire of voters.
The backlash is building and it is long past time.
Next thing on their list will be to remove all the crosses at Arlington cemetery. What a bunch of morons.
Way to go People!!!
It’s way over the time for us to take back our government, be it city, county, State or Federal...
Next time your re-elected politician comes around and promises you the moon and stars and everything beyond, vote for the new person on the ballot...tell these people “We’re not going to take it anymore” and let them find out how hard it is to live in the real world....
Another sign of grass-roots push-back.
===============================================
BACKSTORY The 1980 Georgia General Assembly was concerned about the increasing sophistication of various criminal elements on the public payroll (and those in elective and appointive office). The GA Assembly then adopted the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO), patterned after a similar federal law.
(RICO is routinely used to try to prove that a legal business was being used for illegal means, and, in at its inception, RICO was used to prosecute drug traffickers or organized crime members).
In recent years prosecutors have applied RICO to crooked government officials: (1) those accused of using their public offices for personal gain, and, (2) tax-paid officials of govt agencies using public monies to flout the law.
To bring a case under Georgias RICO law, there must be at least two underlying felonies — such as fraud, bribery, witness tampering (among other felonies).
RICO allows prosecutors to include multiple defendants charged with various crimes in the blanket indictment, and to charge that govt employees, publicy-funded and publicly-sanctioned entities were allegedly part of an ongoing criminal enterprise.
EXAMPLE A govt official commits two felonies by (1) accepting, and, (2) filing falsified documents.
==============================================
HERE'S THE PATHWAY TO LAUNCH---Texas took the lead w/ 26 state AG's, successfully arguing that Obama's beatified DACA/DAPA's were made more desirable employees than US citizens.
==============================================
Any public official using tax dollars to flout that law is a lawbreaker: in cases where govt officials on the public payroll not giving public notice is a violation at the federal level of the 1946 Administrative Procedure Act, which requires notice in the Federal Register. Laws demand that taxpayers have the opportunity to submit views in writing.
===============================================
NOTE If proof is established that RICO'ed criminal public officials impaired the commercial and economic activity of the region, that could also be prosecutable under the Hobbs Act.
PRIME RICO TARGETS Boehner and his Congrssional buddies are complicit in the massive fraud, waste, and criminal use of tax dollars......and the flagrant abuse of taxpayers. They could have reeled in arrogant govt agencies conducting criminal activities (EPA, IRS, BLM, HUD, DOE and DOL). They could have defunded the criminal enterprise called "Obamacare" and the Planned Parenthood parasites living the high life w/ our tax-dollars....but to taxpayers' eternal disgust....they didn't.
The separation of church and state which liberals tout and claim it comes from the Founding Fathers which they despise, does not mean there can’t be an exercise of religion on public property. The Founders didn’t want a state-run, taxpayer funded religion shoved down their throats. It’s obvious in all these cases that liberals are grossly misinterpreting this principle. The Founders wanted the freedom to worship as they chose instead of having to embrace a religious monopoly.
BTTT
The city needs to counter sue with a class action suit for attempted civil rights violations based on the 1st amendments free exercise clause and the 10th amendments reservation clause. They need to demand one dollar for each legal citizen and 10 dollars for each illegal alien (since our government and media consider them to be worth more)
Great story. BUMP
So in Coos or Curry county, they put an initiative on their local ballot instructing the Sheriff not to enforce these new laws if they violate the constitution. It also instructed the Sheriff, that if the state legislature passes other gun laws, he must line them up with the Constitution and if they violate our 2nd a amendment rights, he is to NOT enforce them.
