March 16, 2011

Civic groups in Wenatchee, Washington are circulating a petition on behalf of a ballot measure forbidding the city government to install or use so-red light cameras without prior, express approval by voters and a two-thirds vote by the city council.

A few years ago, the municipal government of Wenatchee, like the governments afflicting many other cities nation-wide, signed a contract with the American Traffic Solutions, the corrupt corporatist entity that runs much of the immensely lucrative red light camera scam. That contract is set to expire in 2014.

Wenatchee residents understandably want to abolish the pestilence of red light cameras as quickly as possible. The tax-fattened elite ruling the city, however, is filing a lawsuit intended to stop citizens from circulating their petition, saying that this exercise of a basic civic right somehow intrudes on the supposed legislative authority of the municipal government.

At every level, our rulers ? and their corporate cronies -- assume that we and our wealth exist to serve their appetites.

Let us take back the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free.
