Their position of “we want nothing” and the heck with anyone else that doesn’t see it my way, does not represent me. I would think a Councilman who cares about our community, quality of life and your views would look at all sides of an issue, and then make the best decision on a matter for the “whole” town, not just a few.

Their behavior reminds me of a Union Campaign a few years ago at my employer.
Union Organizers will distribute all kinds of flyers around full of twisted "facts" and half truths to sway the "swayable" they are being taken advantage of by those in power. Just like the mailings last year, and MOM's leaflets Tuesday night.
They will also create false reports to agencies such as OSHA, Labor Dept, etc, to keep the management tied up doing damage control, while they continue their "swaying" campaign. Just like BS did with Mark Brown & the false "abuse of authority" charge, that our tax dollars paid an attorney to declare a bunch of bunk.
BS has probably got her next 4 false accusation strategies planned (Dena, Bob, Carolyn, Mike get ready) , it will be important for the Summerfield people to be vigilant as these ridiculous strategies are played out, and support those that get falsely accused while their names get cleared.
Fortunately, the accused will have more integrity than the accuser

100% correct. And more credibility.

Unfortunately Waytago, I believe you are right on target!

Indecision is in fact, a form of decision. (By choice I might add).
Inaction is in fact, an action. (Again, by choice I might add).
Simply not liking or disapproving of the behaviours of what a political opponent is doing or has done, is not a pro-active choice, nor a prudent course of response as a political decision or political action.
There is an old saying that sausage and legislation should never been seen in the making.
The question is, for those who don't like what they are seeing: What decisions and/or what actions must or should be taken as a pro-active response by both individuals and/or groups?
Like managerial decisions, all political decisions fall under one of only two categories: management (decisions and actions) by reaction or management (decisions and actions) by objective.
The choices are yours. Use them wisely.

But of course.
Of course, it will be much more meaningful if the answer comes from within you (the Summerfieldians) rather than from me (the outsider).
As a 'clue' to what I am suggesting, please remember that two of the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People are:
Always start with an end in mind.
To be understood, one must first seek to understand.

Actually Macca, when anyone/whomever gets it RIGHT, the Summerfield voters WILL GIVE YOU the SIGNAL (in the elections to come).
(Which, BTW, is a heckuva lot more important than any signal I could ever give).

| Speaking strictly from an outsider's view, it seems that folks have kind of sat back and taken junk from these folks all these months and are beginning to decide now that they aren't going to do that any more.... Which should result in some positive changes for Summerfield!!! Congratulations! Of course, I'm sure it's still going to take a lot of work to make sure that enough people stand up to them to make a difference. The way they were able to get elected was that everyone took for granted that they did not have enough support to get elected. The important thing in the next election will be to make sure that is so...♥♥♥

Memo to Macca: (SIGNAL) You GOT IT!

Macca now think about this for a minute. You know what we are like over here. There are many things that we could do to LOWER ourselves, but that is just not us. You know that!! We will always rise above and never stoop to their levels. We may be tired of their junk, but we will never fight dirty. It is just not in us.
And besides all that haven't you heard that we are not as smart as them?
I do agree with the rest of what you are saying tho
I have invited you for a flying lesson on maan.

| Oh, Lacka! I didn't mean that folks should fight dirty! In fact, I think part of what has happened is that people have been too NICE to them but are now deciding that you can't really do that, because they play dirty.... So you just have to work to educate more and more people to their tactics so it becomes clear to everyone what they are really doing. You know, like in the Wizard of Oz, when the wizard is exposed to be just a man... He says, "Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain....." Still hoping to keep his power. I have every confidence in my Summerfield friends that you will prevail, and in a way that maintains the dignity and honor of your beloved hometown! ♥♥♥

Power is in education. By sharing what we know about our town's issues past, present and future is something we all can do. Talk to your friends and neighbors. Spark an interest. Encourage conversation and give resourses.. NWO paper, the forum, town meetings, etc. More importantly talk about the importance of getting to the poll and voting. I bet many don't even think that they have the power to make a difference by casting their one little vote. BUT they CAN make a difference. Our last election was so close, just a few could have made a change in today's Council.
Jim you are absolutely correct... look at where we need go, set goals and head that way. Every little bit helps. We certainly can do this with honesty and with class.
