Doug Wilson's MONGERS FEAR to Block Political Speech in GT

In the GTCN Sept 30,20010 ed., Doug (I am running against Stankiewitz) Wilson, has noted correctly that a few campaign posters around town are showing up in peoples Yards. He is Mad... and is calling Walt Stanckiewits out for being in violation of the City's Code and Spirit of the Campaign Codes.

Mr. Wilson was in attendance at the meeting where our own City Attorney said that Citizens have the right to Political Speech and that if the City or State take action on trying to stop that speech the City will lose the court case. He went so far as to provide case law for the City Council and a revised code which would require signs be removed in an orderly way after an election.

Yes, Mr. Wilson, You and Bea Cortes, and Marretta Ferre and LeAnn Garcia chose to ignore the advise of our highly paid City Attorney, who no doubt by now is getting professionally ashamed of having represented GT in so many lost court cases he had to give some real advise on the issue. So let's get it right, YOU want to restrict the freedom of Political Speech in GT. YOU want to cause people problem if the city chooses to enforce its Illegal Code. YOU are making political hay because Mr. Stanckiewitz has signs up. And YOU Speculate that he will bring a court case if anything is done about it.

WHY Mr. Wilson have you not also mentioned that Meg Whitman has signs up in town, in vacant lots and on posts and fences. These don't have a date and are of the type that by design can be left up for ever until she actually wins perhaps. She has the funds to take legal action that Walt Stanckiewits and the City Attorney were trying to avoid in making a change in the local code to conform with State and Federal Court Rulings and Law. In addition those signs are put up by the likes of Steve Berry FORMER Acting City Manager who knows the City Code and has a BIG AXE to GRIND against the city. YOUR FEAR MONGERING IS MISS DIRECTED.

THE PUBLIC and MR. STANCKIEWITZ should not give up their RIGHTS because YOU HAVE A BASELESS FEAR.

GET OFF MY FRONT LAWN MR. WILSON... BACK OFF and BACK OFF NOW.

Mr. Stanckiewitz does have signs here and there, and all that I have seen are properly displayed in yards or on PRIVATE PROPERTY. IF they offend your eye perhaps you can ask DeDe Sternberg what the Bible says to do if thine eye offends thee, and do it.

Mr. Wilson lets face it with a name like Stanckiewitz it is wise to get the name out there and in people's mind early. Your name on the other hand are a character in a popular comic strip, and it is recognizable.
