We must show that no one is above law; KEITH R. LACASSE, Weare - Letter
I would like to respond to Jim Thompson ("Weare must not look to punish Souter,"Monitor, Jan. 11) and clarify a few things for Weare voters.
It is not only my assumption that most people in Weare oppose the abuse of eminent domain for economic development but also a fact: UNH conducted a poll, and over 90 percent are against it.
I don't think readers of this paper need a civics lesson on how a bill becomes law or on the role of the courts. The ones requiring lessons are the politicians and judges. They seem to have forgotten who is sovereign, and it is time we reminded them.
If we succeed in applying Justice Souter's own ruling to him directly, we will prove nobody is above the law, not even a Supreme Court judge. That message will be heard loud and clear across the nation, and those in positions of power might think twice before cavalierly deciding to take away people's rights.
The Committee for the Protection of Natural Rights is a nonprofit organization born from a local grassroots movement in Weare and made up of Weare citizens. We are holding a rally for the American dream this weekend.
On Saturday we meet to organize our door-to-door campaign that afternoon. Sunday we rally at 1 p.m. the Old Town Hall. The rally will have guest speakers from New London, Conn., who will explain firsthand what this decision and our local efforts mean to them. We have also invited the radical from California, Logan Clements, to join us and speak.
The day will be a celebration of American freedom and fun, complete with live musical entertainment. I hope to see everyone there - even you, Jim.
KEITH R. LACASSE Weare
Bump!
Hear, hear!
Souter will burn for his treasonous behavior and rulings. But until then I would like to at least see his home taken away by an abusive governmental practice that he allowed. Justice in this life and in the next.
Go Weare citiZens!
This needs another BUMP.
