Doug’s false hero
To the Editor;
    In response to Sen. Doug Thomas’s letter to the editor posted in the Forum.

    Sir, it is my understanding there was no vote on the Rights Based Ordinance. It was simply passed over as an issue for an official vote.
    This tactic is used in the Halls of our Legislature when wording or intent therein are not yet satisfactory.
    Had the citizens of Charleston been put into a position of either voting on the RBO as written verses having to live with a Corridor through their community they would have most likely taken an imperfect document.
    The same as our legislature does when it allows bad rules, regulations, laws to exist vs. doing nothing at all.
    In that they (Charleston) continue working to perfect this document to a suitable need for all, being you, I would not take pride in my actions as a representative of those people, having not stepped up to perform your duties to try to protect them.
    Their wishes are known yet you still do not listen, to represent a clear majority from any community within your district.
    The Revolutionary War was not won in a day and was Rights Based. Only the Oppressors have changed, with large corporations using government and its officials as puppets.
    Towns themselves are incorporated yet hold no equality with a business corporations.
    While large corporations with more money hold you (or like minded) by the ears and squeeze you into submission, the smaller local businesses registered corporations get only the excess pocket change they can not stuff into a campaign for their desired elected (puppet) officials that may respond to a pull of their strings.
    I take it you like the concept that a piece of paper has more rights than you as a human individual.
    This is the end that you promote, though can not see.
