Resolution 17-xxx
I care not a wit about the political and societal beliefs of the Homer City Council members who are supporting and advancing this proposed Resolution to the Council for adoption.
However, I am very concerned and deeply troubled that members of the Homer City Council who by virtue of their elected positions are responsible to oversee that rules, regulations, ordinances and applicable laws are adhered to,
would incite and abet their constituents in disobeying constitutionally legal Federal, State, Borough
and City laws that they personally do not agree with.
The proposed resolution and those Council members
who support it go way beyond the precepts of civil disobedience as proffered by Thoreau and Gandhi. Additionally the intent and wording of this resolution is at best thinly veiled and reeks of Saul Alinski's "Rule's for Radicals" which
in and of itself dangerously steepens a glide toward anarchy.
As a citizen who firmly believes that laws once adopted should be followed and enforced until such time as legally repealed or amended, I will use my vote, my campaign dollars and my voice to resist any politician or group who
supports illegal activity as a means to an end for their agenda.
Therefore I respectfully request that the City Council and, if required, the Mayor firmly and completely defeat all attempts at adoption of proposed Resolution 17-xxx.
Sincerely,
Dennis Bird
Homer Resident
