Since we are trying to play by the rules and ordinances of our cities and towns, Mayflower is trying to point out in the yellow ribbon Thousand Oaks thread the rules in the city. Also trying to get people the facts before they send out a bunch of illinformed emails to the city council. We DO need to be classy. So some guy named Tracer criticized her.

I don't quite understand....is someone saying that you cannot put up yellow ribbons? Is there a city ordinance of some kind?...please inform me!!! I will gladly help if I can!

This story made the Channel 9 News tonight in L.A. -- 8 p.m. edition. They ALSO said they will "be out there (in T.O.) Saturday at 5:30 a.m." when the ribbon lady starts replacing what was taken down. She was interviewed as well and showed all the ribbon that had been RETURNED to her by the city. (At least they didn't toss it out).

It seems there's a City law of some sort against placing ribbons or signs on the public parkway. Now, however, citing special circumstances, Thousand Oaks city officials will revisit the issue and reconsider their position.

Actually, T.O. City Hall has placed its OWN yellow ribbon at its offices, and is in total support of the U.S. effort in Iraq.
