Freedom of Speech

Susan,
I do not believe that item 1 is effective as it will cause us to loose many.
I do not believe they will steal our meetings, rather enhance it.
Signs are part of our first ammendment rights, Freedom of Speech.

I would rather have these people with us. It is because of these people and their well earned council bashing is the truth that the council has set up and taken notice.
It is the feeling of a lot of the people that attended the meeting, we must keep this faction as these are part of our group. When people stood up and spoke about the council, it is reality. The council got what they deserved. It is after all, what got the attention of the council members.

What better way to quell the Split the County/Better Government than to have the people that have real and valid complaints be quieted and split off.
Think carefully~

Aloha Rickie,
I found when the newspapers wrote up the meeting; The thunder was stolen by the signs and alternate groups. This process is going to be designed so that you can speak your peace but don’t take away from the meeting’s goals. Bashing the people is not productive, but addressing the issues is.
The roar of the crowd must now be turned toward productivity and the anger will change to ownership in the process and system changes.
Freedom of Speech can be achieved without anger signs.
If people can not get beyond that then it is their choice. I have to go with the professional approach in order to maintain structure and integrity of this group.
Thank you for your comments.
Aloha, Susan
