We don't need no stinking voice of the people!
From Insightscoop, a story that has implications for everyone.
This puts it in a nutshell, "After all, if someone's right to gather signatures for a petition is denied because government officials don't agree with the petition's aims, what political voice is left to those who cannot rely on the courts or the legislative bodies? When basic political rights are abrogated, nearly anything goes, that is, if the government approves, allows, supports, enforces, upholds, and defines it, ...."
This is something that should catch everyone's eye, not just conservative Catholics. These tactics can be used against any citizen for the furthering of any agenda, be it gay, straight, white, black, male, feminine, etc. When a totalitarian mindset becomes accepted it knows no political boundaries. For that reason I believe this underreported story could have consequences far beyond the Oregon borders.

Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country.
I havn't trusted pokitical leaders or jundges since high school, and at my age that's a damned long time!
I might be wrong but an inherent distrust of government is what drove our Founding Fathers to include the 2nd Amendment to the Constitution.
ummmm. might wanna change your "about me" section to reflect last sunday dearie
Hey mate...I see ya met Gert over at my place. Yupper...Gerts a piece of work he is. As I'm sure you gathered he's a liberal, although overall, he's not really a bad sort. I've been dealing with Gert for over a year now, and his writing style does seem to get antagonistic from time to time, but I have had some interesting conversations with him. Whe we first met on the internet, he hated my ass (and mine his), but we have since come to know each other a little better....
Don't let him get to ya...he's that way with everyone who ain't a lib....
Hey Cookie,
Yeah, I guess "Gert" didn't like my comment. That's his problem. I'll put on my company manners when I go to someone else's blog and won't get into a pissing contest there. If he wants to roll in the mud he can come over here. I'll oblige him or not, as the mood strikes me.
I just have a hard time understanding how someone can pass themselves off as "rational" when they get bent out of shape about a post someone on another continent makes. A post that doesn't directly address anything about them or anything they may believe in. It isn't like he and I will ever have any real effect on one another. He may want to seek professional help, I hear they can do wonders these days.
Whatever. Thanks for the input though.
Scary. No right to petition??? Whiskey Tango Foxtrot!?!?
This needs WAY more attention than it's gotten...
