Lawyers say Gould ordinances violate Constitution

One ordinance forbids groups to meet without city council approval and although it's aimed at one citizens' group in particular, lawyers say it encompasses anyone mentioning the city in a conversation.

These people are oviously Fascist and they have no respect for their fellow man or their Country. America needs to wake up, get out from in front of their T.V.'s and out of their Churchs and start attending these meetings and let their Voices be heard before it is to late. It is our own faults that we lose more and more Constituitioal and Civil Rights every day. While we are all out working and entertaining our selves, the evil people are busy having meeting and writing laws that make us all criminals. The next thing we will lose is our gun rights which are slowly being removed behind our backs. Then everyone will end up in all these new Prisons (FEMA Camp's) that the Government is building in every little Town in the U.S.. This is all a plan and on New Years Eve while you we partying big time, Obama was signing away all your rights under a new law that allows the Government to declare any American Citizen a Terrorist and put us in prison without the right to a trial. The exact same thing that is happening in Arkansaw is also happening in all small town America. Google Quartzsite, Az., Mesquite and Pahrump, Nv., and other and the stories just repeat themselves even to the extent that they are arresting people for speaking out when being told to shut up. Once these people are elected they turn into control freaks and turn coats every where. They join and attend brain washing seminars orgastraighted by a group called the League of Cities and Counties that are paid for by your tax dollars. They go to classes to get their egos pumped up and are trained on how to handle all of us malcontents in the audience by ignoring our suggestions and insulting our intelligents when we not to agree with their big wasteful spending schemes and scams that 99% of them come up with. It is all part of a much larger plan called New World Order. True that most of their kind only make it one term but they can line their pockets and do vast irreversible damage during that time.

seattlpatriot- After watching all this and reading what we are allowed [via USA Pravda news] I'm inclined to think you may well be right. What a better place to start? Rural areas will be the ones hardest to get under the thumb. So if you get them out of the way first.Guess they couldn't buy the mayor off. That city council is scary as things like this tend to spread like a slow moving virus. I don't think they expected it to draw so much attention. For sure they under estimated the mayor. The rest of us should maybe check out our own little city councils now.The police seem to be almost non-existant. Hopefully the rest of the country don't judge all Arkansans by these ones. They probably will though. With all the other things going on in Washington it should raise a red flag to all Americans for instance dhimmitude. Google it and then go to page 107 of our new health care bill while we were kept so busy with the mexican border but nothing on the Canadian front. Jihadists in France which is an open door to Canada and an easy walk across there. Thank you channel 16 you don't make people pay for their opinions to be put out. That's real Freedom of Speech. You don't have to pay for it.

A first year law student could tell you that. A reasonably intelligent tenth grader could tell you that.

Sure is a suspicious deal to me. Why this litle town? Is something getting ready to come there people don't know about? That city coucil is obviously trying to lay the ground work for something. Maybe small towns is the place they are going to start a larger agenda. Can't think of any other reason except over-bloated ego's on their city council.

It sounds like the council is inviting the feds in to take the city, probably because they're all Koch and Rothschild employees. Whoever the city is going to go to, when the charter is lost, those are the primary suspects as to who is engineering the "city council's" debauchery.

Correction to my last post - I should have said "speed trap"...

Gould has never been much more than a miserable little speed bump in the flat steamy mosquito-ridden delta land along Highway 65. Accordingly, the politics there has always been petty and mean. Why? I don't know - perhaps because the stakes are so small.

I think the possible explanation may lie in the mayor's own words: "It's like they're trying to lose the city charter." Hmmm... is there a financial profit somewhere in losing the city charter? Do any of the members of the city council stand to gain? When things which defy explanation occur, especially in today's world, 'follow the money' should be the first line of inquify. /Qui bono/? Who benefits?

No groups can assemble. I guess only one customer in the building to get a hair cut or styled. Only one person in the grocry store at a time to buy groceries. Only one person in the Church. Kinda makes it hard for a weddding. Not to mention getting a two thirds vote just to get married.

People need to assemble and oust these kind of people from city council! Of course, they're just following the example of Our Dear Leader and acting outside Constitutional authority. How much are you going to continue to take people?
