Illegal City Council meeting in Quartzsite, Arizona
Gary Hunt,
Outpost of Freedom
July 11, 2011
[Note: There have been many rumors flying around about the request for
Mayor Ed Foster's attendance at an illegal City Council meeting, on
Sunday, July 10, 2011. To assure that what is occurring in Quartzsite,
Arizona, doesn't get blown out of proportion with rumors, speculation
and falsehood, I contacted Mayer Foster, this afternoon, to make sure
that the truth does come out, and unfounded rumors return to whence they
came.. GH]
Mayor Ed Foster, of Quartzsite, Arizona, was invited to a meeting. He
chose to go to that meeting and felt that there was no duress involved
in making him attend.
When he arrived at the City Council chambers, he was standing just
inside of the doorway when he heard the door shut and the lock click. A
photographer who had wanted to attend the meeting was barred by that
action.
Dozens of City residents held their ears to the door in an effort to
hear what was transpiring in this meeting that the Mayor described as an
illegal meeting, meeting only the quorum criteria, under state law, for
a meeting. No prior notice; closed meeting; no agenda -- all of the
normal requisites for openness in government have been dispensed with.
The results of the meeting, under the watchful eye of the City Manager
and Chief of Police, was that those two appointed entities have
superseded the elected officials (people's choice), and placed the Chief
of Police in charge of the town, as an emergency measure.
The nature of the emergency is said to be fear, based upon threats
received by various members of the Council, City employees and
officials. When asked if any of the threats came from Quartzsite
citizens, the answer was that the threats were coming from all over the
country, and from other countries. There were, apparently, no threats at
all received from any locals people.
Why, then, does the emergency warrant a change in City government from
elected officials to appointed, and, presumably, unable to be recalled,
only fired. But, then, if they are in charge, who can fire them?
The attention that the recent incident involving the 'arrest" of
Jennifer Jones has become viral. It appears that the politicians in the
capitol, Phoenix, in both the Governor's and the State attorney's
offices are beginning to listen to what they had refused to acknowledge,
in the past. This mat also by true of the La Paz County Sheriff, who has
sent officers to Quartzsite, with instructions to not get involved.
Now, if we are, truly, a nation of self-governed people, then it
behooves the rest of us to understand that if it can happen in
Quartzsite, it can happen where you are -- just as those in Virginia
realized that what was happening in Massachusetts could also happen to
them, 236 years ago.
So, in light of the Founder's willingness to participate in support of
others who found themselves under the yoke of despotic government, lend
what you can by calling, or, at least, emailing, those involved in this
charade of government tyranny.
