Who Will Attend Today?

While I do appreciate what you are saying, I ask you not to be too quick to judge.  As you may have noticed from this entire fiasco, our City Hall can be very vindictive.  Many of the posters here are have businesses.  The largest employers in town are "cozy" with city hall. 

 

Time after time, as I talk with other citizens I hear words such as "If the city found out who I am, they would find reasons to shut me down or ruin my business." or "My boss is buddy-buddy with _________ at the city.  If I go public, I would get fired."

 

Especially in these times, we must try to understand that the well-being and even the very existence of many folks' families are, at least in their eyes, at stake.  In America, the government is supposed to fear the people.  In Middletown, the people fear the government.  It is up to those of us who feel that we are in a position to do so, to step up...no matter how few we may be.  Perhaps if, by doing so, we can show others that we CAN begin to make a difference, we will encourage others to stand with us.  Perhaps just a few at a time at first, hopefully in droves later.  But someone must take a first step forward. 

 

I am old and half feeble.  I will be honored to have you, and anyone else who feels that they can, stand with me.

 

I do hope to see you there tomorrow.

 

Either way...

 

Best regards, Sir,

Mike
