Stop using my city as your ideological playground

Posted by

I understand that it takes 90% to pass a resolution at GA.  The most annoying part of this is that there is NO resolution that I have heard of that approves the violence (aka diversity of tactics). So, what we need to do is get those of us who want the violence to stop to show up at a GA and pass the resolution that the violent faction has been blocking.  Maybe we should pick a day to try and get the people out to one of these GA meetings. … Continued
