Letter
Dear Jack O'Neil,
The citizens of Barnstead owe you a debt of
gratitude for your outstanding service to our community at the food
pantry and as a selectman throughout the years; we also owe you a
debt of gratitude for your service in Vietnam.
As a citizen who voted for you several times, I
write this out of the greatest respect for you in response to your
letter in last week's Sun.
COBALD is admirable and I agree that our number
one priority should be to protect our water from those who would
pump us dry. We need a common sense ordinance that will stop that
idea cold! I believe in a protected eco-system, managed with
realistic and reasonable mainstream policies, untainted by political
action groups, corporations and special interests.
The Barnstead Water Ordinance was passed in
March. What we needed was a solid ordinance that protected the
water; what we got was politically charged, cleverly crafted
language awarding "civil rights to ecosystems" and other extreme
agenda.
We live in a Republic, not a pure Democracy.
Rhetoric like "We the People" and a "Living Democracy" sounds lofty,
but the "self rule" agenda is a political movement reminiscent of
the 1930's .
Informed citizens should visit
www.celdf.org or:
www.thealliancefordemocracy.org to see the goals of this
radical movement.
We have the opportunity to welcome a "green"
company into Barnstead which will provide employment for many
residents and much needed tax revenue. Many of the framers of the
water ordinance are already attempting to use it to delay this
process. If not a "green" company, then what will these folks
support?
Any approach from an extreme position does not
serve the interests of Barnstead. We to be `corporation' friendly.
Plain and simple, the `self rule' movement is anti-business and
anti-corporation.
