WALDO FLORIDA CITY
ATTORNEY THREATENS CHAMBER OF COMMERCE UNDER USA PATRIOT ACT

“…under
the
USA
Patriots act, we’re looking at subversive groups within the community and
we will be turning them in to appropriate authorities under ‘HOMELAND
SECURITY’ “- Samuel Mutch, Waldo Florida city Attorney
Subversive
groups my behind. There are exactly 3 groups of people in the 800 citizen
city of
Waldo. The elementary School kids, the senior
citizens from the community center and the Waldo Area Chamber of Commerce.
Who do you think Mutch is referring to?
Now
comes before us the real danger of the Bush Administrations assault on the
U.S. Constitution and our civil
rights. The “USA Patriots Act” was never meant to be an anti
terrorist tool, but a tool to undermine the rights and liberties of the
American People. It is a tool for harassment, snooping and crushing dissent
and frightening off criticism of government activities, originally adopted
by our National Government and the current administration, but now even
small corrupt communities can take advantage of the Bush assault. Before
it’s over the administration and governments big and small will find more
and more creative uses for the Nazi Manifesto known as the USA PATRIOTS ACT.
Its
approval by the United States Congress was accomplished by Bush threatening
“exposure” to the people of anyone refusing to sign the Act into Law.
Lawmakers were told “don’t read it, just sign it.” Given only a few
hours to digest hundreds of pages, complicated legalese the compliant
frightened Congress gave Bush his “ACT” and forever changed
America
.
In
Waldo Florida, the Nations biggest “speed trap” a group of citizens has
been working to change the corrupt town into a city that would welcome
tourists, visitors and new business. They have fought bogus law enforcement,
neglect of the city’s children recreation needs, punitive and unfair
ordinances designed to harass Waldo citizens. Recognizing that there needed
to be changes in leadership to break the ‘grasp’ that the small clique
of lifetime politicians had on the city, these citizens put up and supported
two candidates this past election one of which won and the other losing by
only two votes. Now some things that were suspected, that city funds were
missing and the budget was bloated and unrealistic, yearly mandated
accounting proved the citizens concerns.
Life
ceased to be FUN for the officials of Waldo. Several quit or took leave of
absences. The rest are up against the ropes trying to fend off attacks and
bad publicity which is a regular occurrence and the city council is
backtracking and attempting to fix those things they messed up.
But
the citizens, Chamber of Commerce and other outside interested parties
won’t back off until the city becomes friendly to the outside and calls
off the rogue police force which supplies 25%-30% of the entire city’s
income.
ENTER
THE
USA
PATRIOT ACT:
Frustrated
and backed against the wall, the newly appointed Mutch is operating under a
directive from the corrupt Mayor Louis Davis and some of the old guard city
council to intimidate and frighten the Waldo Area Chamber of Commerce and
it’s supporters in the hopes that the ‘bad people’ will somehow go
away and restore the fun of city government in the shadows, a highly
lucrative and entertaining exercise enjoyed by Waldo’s lifetime
politicians over the last quarter century.
Guess
what folks? Won’t work! The people who would demand change to the highly
destructive “business in Waldo as usual” will NOT go away anytime soon.
The group has already retained council and wish to warn anyone seeking to
use fraudulent charges to disrupt the citizens group in their lawful
exercise of their rights to free speech and to monitor government in the
sunshine would be guilty of filing a knowingly false report under the
Patriots act and would be subject to imprisonment for not more than five
years or a fine of $50,000 or both.
We
WILL be hearing plenty more from governments big and small who will seek to
crush dissent through this unconstitutional tool. Also the threat of this
bogus “Act” will be used to intimidate and frighten Citizens of the
United States
from their duty to keep government within
the framework of their charter and within the Constitution itself, the very
document the USAPA seeks to circumvent.
