Ok, in my own defense, I realized later that the "Representatives of District 2" were called Aldermen. Oh well.February 10, 2004
To: Fayetteville City Council
CC: Arkansas Traveler, Northwest Arkansas Times, Morning News
To the residents, business owners, and Council Members of District 2:
First, I would like to commend the efforts of Free Choice Fayetteville and their struggle against tyranny in the name of “feel good lawmaking†in our good town. I wish I could have participated more and helped prevent this dark day for liberty and property rights.
I am incensed by how Smoke Free Fayetteville and its supporters welcome oppressive laws in the name of “health.†I cannot possibly fathom how anyone would openly support the growth of a “Nanny State†where the government dictates what is good for you without your say. I am ashamed to be a resident of this town today, even more than I was after the spawning of that Tree Law.
I write to all of you today to offer my condolences to the businesses of Fayetteville, as they will no longer receive one red cent of my money. I will buy all of my goods in surrounding towns. I will not give any money to my City Oppressors, and may even move out if I can. The abominable string of events that led to this flogging of the principles that this country was founded upon shall not go unanswered by this liberty-minded individual’s wallet.
As for the Council Members representing District 2: You will never get my vote. I don’t care if you repeal this tomorrow. NEVER.
Disgustedly yours,
{moparmike}
Lifelong Resident of Fayetteville
BTW, this passed with only 400 votes, and had the biggest voter turn out in some time. Over 11,000 voted out of 50,000.
