Dear Members of Longmont City Council,

The voters had less than three months of Boulder high Tec socialism before wanting their form of Constitutional Government. back. Longmont is not fertile ground for oppressive intolerances that travel with benevolent utopian ideology. Voters make this point loud and clear with a 2 to one vote against the utopia snake oil salesman intolerance is verboten in Longmont. Council to its shock finds it isn't the judge of tolerance, the Law is. Governing a free people is a heavy responsibility and preserving their liberty and freedom is an even greater responsibility the new majority shirked the first 90 days in office.

Every member of Council should have learned by now they must be mindful of his or her quasi judicial duties the sanctions of Title 15 impose on Members because the Code makes them judges. Therefore members are de facto Municipal Judges as well as their appointees on relevant Boards & Commissions. Ethically a judge should be mindful that his duty is the application of general law to particular political ends or goals, that ours is a government of law and not of men and women and that he or she violates their fiduciary duty as a Constitutional Officer if they seek to do what they may personally consider substantial justice in a particular case and disregards 42 U.S.C. 1983 as it is binding on Government's duty of equal protection and opportunity in Municipal process.

Thus, under the system the newly elected inherited, a member has a duty to administer their elected Council Office with a due regard to the integrity of the system of the law itself, remembering that a Home Rule City Council is not the depositary of arbitrary power. Although Title 15 has put them in this conflict of interest-violation of separation of powers doctrine, the members are still mere judges under sanction of the law, not above the law with an alleged First Amendment vigilante right to take other citizens 1 st, 4 th, 5 th and 14 th Amendment rights. The Bloc justifies intolerance by its supporters, thus encourages hatred toward its fellow citizen's for their political or religious associations and/or personal investment in business entities and/or trusts so as to generate pressure for yet more oppressive legislation.

The previous Council was given a marked up copy of the necessary changes to give Constitutional substantative due process to all parties affected by Title 15 New Development Code for Council to consider making the Development Code fair and Constitution extending its protection of all affected parties. The development code name is a misnomer since it affects the quality of life, which includes freedom and liberty, but is absent the qualities of freedom and liberty for. If Council does not come back from Retreat with this minimum commitment to the freedom and liberty of its citizens it represents by adapting all of the recommended changes or placing on its Agenda a joint meeting with supporters of reformation of Title 15 for a joint study session to arrive at community consensus; then the option of a petition to repeal T-15 in its entirety and reinstitute the 1987 Zoning Code is on the table with grass roots support. A revised edition will be ready for your retreat of the necessary amendments to T-15, but the substantial issues are covered in the Levinson edition if you are curious as to what's coming in the defense of liberty & freedom from City Council oppression.
