Enough of this Secular Progressive Cultural Change in Longmont City Government phasing out freedom freedoms of speech, religion and private property without Consent of "We the People"! The effects on the Liberty and Freedom of the People are repugnant to the values of the American and Longmont Republics!. The City Attorney-Prosecutor is the City Council's personal lawyer, not the People's Judicial Officer. In practice and form there is no separation of powers between Council and the enforcement of both civil and criminal violations of the law. This merging of the Chief Judicial Officer for the Administration of Justice with the legislative branch weakens the meaning and effectiveness of the City Charter in protecting individual fundamental rights in the system.
The City Charter makes the City Manager the chief administrative officer of the City, nut Council's assumption of micro-management of City Administration treating the City Manager with the respect due an employee instead of CEO comingles Judicial, Administrative and Legislative powers into Council's majority. City Government's present form of city manager governance is subject to weekly control by seven elected representatives instead of an independent CEO manager accountable to Council professionalism according to the common values held sacred by the American People for over 233 years. Without an independent chief executive officer who is directly accountable by election (City Manager is Council appointment), today's city governance practice is intolerant of any citizens sharing different values than those of Council's noisy supporters concerning resolution of disputes over individual human rights in property and government supporters. Thus, City governance is resolved by its relativity to political correctness by supporters of elected officials instead of the City's duty owed through the Administration to abide with the common value of equal justice for all.
The liberals on Longmont City Council and their noisy supporters have so confounded society with government, as to leave little or no distinction between them as they push their cultural values in Longmont. Society in every state is a blessing, but Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one: for when we suffer, or are exposed to the same miseries by a government, which we might expect in a city without government. The Chaos emerging from the "changes" the Secular Progressives are thrusting on the People without consent do not include: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the consent of the governed."
City Government can only work if citizens; judicial officials; elected, and appointed officials share the same values. Otherwise, it is impossible for Council to address reform due to their supporter's continuum of political intolerance of others' values and the crush of administrative business needing immediate action. It should never be a condition in the new development process to deny God to enjoy the pursuit of life, liberty and happiness in Longmont. Instead, Council rigidly locked itself into a policy that requires the administration of government policy to do just that to the owners of the Union property. This is why the bureaucracy, with the Secular Progressives nipping at their heels with quiescent support from liberals on Council, is pursuing the owners across the county line in an attempt to keep them from using their own property. To protect the future for Longmont's next generation, it is a moral imperative for society that the individual citizens' right to share the primary value of owning, using and enjoying private property be accorded equal respect under City Process and protected. This Secular Progressive Form of Government has become destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
To these ends Councilmay consider promptly drafting a Charter Changeseparatingitself from the Judical and Administrative departments of government whileretaining the present Mayor's position as member of council so the number and representation stay the same, and elevating the City Manager to Mayor, a separately elected Constitutional Office under which all City legal services and enforcement of civil and criminal law are the Mayor/CEO's responsibility. The City Attorney must be accountable to the Mayor, not Council. If Council fails to take responsibility, the Constitutional Initiative processprobably willbe activated by concerned citizens to draftCharter Amendments necessary, insure separation of Judicial, Administrative and Legislative powers in City Government to urge Government to change. If it doesn't then petition and process onto on to Ballot for the People's Consent. A necessitySecular Progressives' want everyone to ignore on their partbecause restoration of a Just Government with separation of powers to protect human rights of the non-elite is not on their agenda.
