Gun Rights Victory in Alpena!
Congratulations 1st district patriots! Through our efforts, the city of Alpena has agreed to review the un-constitutional city ordinance which bans guns (and slingshots by the way) from any public place within the city limits. From what we’ve heard from the city officials, this illegal ordinance is as good as gone!
This is the way Government is supposed to operate, with “We the People” in charge. This is the power of localized Government. When a citizen has a problem, or realizes a problem with their local Government, he can not only be heard, but can actually produce change at the local level where it counts the most.
Tom Matos, Linda Goldthorpe, and several other like-minded citizens addressed the city council on Monday, Dec 7th about the un-constitutional law that has been in effect in Alpena since the late 1970s, and through their efforts it was forwarded to the city attorney as requested by Tom Matos.
We are very pleased with how the city council has responded, and we feel empowered, and you should feel empowered, that we the people can change our Government when we take a stand and fight for what’s right.
Check out this Video Interview with Tom Matos, note the Goldthorpe for Congress business card on his shirt (buttons will be available soon!):
