A SAD DAY IN LISBON
Today is Veterans Day, a day to remember the many sacrifices
our veterans have made in the defense of this great nation. JFK once said “Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for
your country”. I spent 20 years
in the Army and 20 years as a Department of Defense civilian because I believe
in this great nation and our Constitution.
The last time, I left Lisbon it was in good hands with the
Selectman. These men were strong leaders
who believed in this country and our Constitution. The residents were allowed free speech and
people took part in local government.
Today, sadly this is no longer true.
These leaders were replaced by members of the” Good Old Boy” network
whom do not believe in our Constitution.
These representatives such as Mike Bowie, Lori Pomelow, Fern LaRochelle,
Miriam Morgan-Alexander, and Gina Mason are responsible for stripping the right
of free speech in our community and the lack of participation.
At town council meeting, the people are
censored and restricted as to when and what can be said. This is because councilors are afraid of
criticism because they know what they are doing is wrong. However, Chairman of the Appeals Board has
taken this to another level by denying the Public the right to speak at a “Public
Hearing”. How can you hear the Public at a Public
Hearing if the Public is denied the right to speak?
Veterans Day is a day to honor our veterans who travel to
foreign lands, live under extreme conditions, protect and defend the
Constitution of the United States. Free people have the right to speak out
against injustice. Throughout
the years too many veterans have made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of
these beliefs. These are the true heroes
of this nation.
It is a sad day in Lisbon when so many have
suffered so much defending this great nation and its principles just to have a
few losers strip our citizens of their right to free speech and participation
in our local government.

And these are our same town leaders who at the beginning of Town Council meetings, stand, and with hands over their hearts, recite the Pledge of Allegiance to the United States of America!
