[Vision2020] Citizen Ament to Rule!

That's one opinion, Doug. 

Some see it as the will of the people -- elected official Ament -- vs. the opinion of a powerful minority -- (fill in the blank here).

Mr. London,

Here is the point! Candidate with strong albeit goofy, opinions is elected to council. Voters, albeit a small percentage of the total registered, choose that goofy candidate to represent them. Candidate now represents the whole electorate and should act in a nonpartisan manner for the benefit of the whole not just the narrow minded.

Sounds better to me!

lemeno, Doug!

What's the point?
Candidate with strong opinions is elected to council.  Voters choose that candidate to represent them knowing the candidate's opinions.
Candidate, after election, pursues his agenda.
Sounds pretty American to me.
What is the problem?

Jackie, Maybe you should recheck your Blind 2020 files to verify the items below. We all know how you like to be accurate and not miss quote any one....

"The fact that some among us can openly despise others of us different only in sexual preference, race or place of birth and still be considered upstanding members of the community is unconscionable. It is also a danger to all. . . . I cannot know the answer to this question; I can only try to imagine the difficulties of those singled out as different."

"Please understand that my issue is a purely legal one, not tainted by intolerance of you or of your religion. I will fight the downtown schools, but I have no will or intention to fight with you."

Sounds like Moscow will get more of the same sentiments from Citizen Ament!
