Once again I am tired.  I am tired of seeing shady and corrupt public officials in government.  I have Weir on my mind.

John McCain seems to think that it is okay to limit how much can be given to a political candidate.  I see this as an affront to freedom of speech (which must include freedom of expression).  I do, however, believe that every cent given to a public official, must be viewable to the general public.

This is so important for the people to have access to.  We must see who gives to an official in order to better understand our official's political motives.  I say, let whoever give as much as they want to a candidate.  And in return, let the people see who is giving the money and how much money they gave.

Do you see why this is important?

Ken Weir seems to keep quiet.  He didn't want to fully complete his form 700 last year.  I don't know why.  But it seems like there might have been some conflicts of interest.  He was finally forced to provide the information.  Now, he doesn't offer a credible explanation for wanting to oust Johnson.  The reason he gives is a difference of views, but I see consistency.  Is it that they see different on one particular issue?

This dilemma has led me to support any recall, or resignation, of Ken Weir.  I expect my public officials to be glad to provide information to the public.  Any less shows me dishonesty and disregard for the people.

Have you ever noticed the FEAR of citizens?  I don't know what they fear, but it seems like people sure have a problem with voicing their opinion and getting involved in politics.  I sit here online occasionally and see what people have to say about politics.  I read today about the great injustice of councilmember Weir and his Abernathy connections.  And, I've heard all of this uproar before.  But the picture that bothers me is that this uproar never seems to carry out into the public eye of the newspaper and city streets.

People are more than willing to rip into something here in the blogosphere, but they never make the time to get signs and people together to go and protest.  Have you ever noticed?  I have only lived here in Bako for about 2 years, and the only protesters I ever see are those hired ones "Shame on" so and so.

I often wonder why this is, and I guess it's because people are afraid.  This is the only explanation.  If it was really important to you, than why aren't you out in the streets!  Make your voice known!!!  You talk on here about how some of our councilmembers don't represent us.  Then DO something.  And typing behind a fake online name is a joke.  I'll believe you when I see you in the streets.
