Benker to Special Election loser Juday: Let's curb free speech in Longmont
UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE - TIMES CALL HAMMERS ANTI-FREE SPEECH EFFORT!!!
Karen Benker is known for throwing temper tantrums when her attempts to circumvent Roberts Rules of Order don't work out, as you can see here in this video.
But hey, you gotta give the woman credit for having what they don't sell at Bruce's Bar anymore. Never satisfied with keeping her chosen enemies out of any civic service positions, Benker is now set to squelch our free speech rights. In a ploy to shut down dissent among Longmont's taxpayers (like maybe about the new War on Firestone), Councilman Karen Benker had a private talk with January election loser Richard Juday, assuring support for new, draconian restrictions on free speech.
That's the report coming from an unnamed source in Longmont, and if true, could be the thread that unravels the Benker Bloc's iron-fisted control of our City Council. Who knows, maybe Mayor Roger "Lap-Dog" Lange would even grow a spine as a result of the latest Benker scandal?
Juday, whose stellar campaign was notable for many things, including this brilliant idea to track Wal-Mart shoppers by license plate, originally brought the anti-free speech proposal before the Longmont Council last month, and it is now on the agenda for tomorrow's city council meeting at 7PM at 350 Kimbark. The diabolical plan is to slip Longmont's new domestic spying program past unwitting constituents in the wake of what should prove to be a spirited debate about the Council's War on Firestone.
LET'S STOP BENKER'S POWER GRAB, OR YOUR RIGHT TO DISCUSS THE ISSUES WITH YOUR NEIGHBORS AND MY RIGHT TO OPERATE THIS WEBSITE WILL BE STRIPPED! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!
I would never have thought I'd be saying this but at this point, I agree. Recalling Karen Benker seems like the only way to reign in the craziness that's been happening in Longmont. It seems out of control. Can McCoy be recalled too, before they all destroy the local economy, along with Longmont's reputation?
Just tell me where I can sign up.

Can you spell R-E-C-A-L-L? Heck, I'll isgn the petition. Benker is a socialist, through and through, and think of the damage she can do in the next 18 months!
