The Alberton Papers #13
By Dick Darne 4-12-06
Lets take time out from strictly local matters and consider something so fundamental as liberty. Our liberty is best embodied in the Bill of Rights or the first ten amendments to the Constitution of the United States of America. It is also affirmed in our Montana Constitution. Many have given their lives to defend and protect our liberty. The least we can do, besides being eternally grateful, is to maintain the defense of our liberties. The price of liberty IS eternal vigilance!
What can we as Albertonians do? Well we can do as 8 states, including Montana; 398 communities, including Missoula and Butte have done. ( protecting 84,617,547 citizens.) They have all passed a resolution supporting and affirming the Bill of Rights, and urging congress to repeal certain portions of the "patriot act". My printer is out of ink and down for a few days but I’ll download copies of some of the resolutions and other pertinent info very soon. Those who are computer literate may check http://www.bordc.org/
What else can we do? For starters, lets practice participatory democracy right here in Alberton. Come to meetings. Talk to your council persons. Have a cup with our Mayor. Talk to your fellow citizens. Become informed. Pass on copies of the alberton papers. Comment. Discuss. Contribute. Don’t forget, matched sets, bound in simulated letter paper, makes a great gift.
