A Democracy Town Hall host appointed to city council
Hi All,
First of all, I want to apologise for not giving this town hall the attention it needs. Although I have not been consistently posting story's of activism here like I have in the past, the fight for civil rights has continued on. I and other activist are still fighting for your rights in the city of Saint Paul, recently we were able to secure Councilman Melvin Carters assistance in an attempt to save a historically significant building at 601 Western. I am putting my faith in Melvin to help us. Early last year Council lady Kathy Lantry helped us save a mans home on Minnehaha. I was able to help an elderly woman in ward 2 repair her home, we helped a hoarder clean up and repair his home/business and hooked him up with counseling.
This summer I was in a nasty battle over housing and civil rights issues in the city of Landfall. The result of this good fight was the ousting of the former mayor, he was voted out by a landslide, the city attorney and city manager were fired, a council member resigned and I was appointed in his place.
Once again I am sorry for not giving this town hall the attention it deserves. Many of you have worked hard to make this town hall a viable media outlet and I promise I will put more effort into keeping you all informed of our activities starting today.
I would be ineffective as a civil rights activist if it wasn't for all the support that is given to me. I thank all of you kindly!
Sincerely,
Bob Johnson

My response,
I don't understand why you would accuse me of the behavior I have been fighting for 7 years. The common word here is "residents feel safe with my appointment".
Peace...
Thanks everyone for the support and kind words.
When appointed I took an oath of office, I was sworn to protect the Constitution and the laws of the State of Minnesota. I have faith in myself that I will serve the city of Landfall honorably.
The good fight has never been about money for me, winning the battles of the good fight gives me all the compensation I need. :)

We need some fresh thinking in government. You'll do a valuable job.

Dear Bob:
Why don't you also work to get rid of the bad apples in Saint Paul? There are many and bad ones.
Sharon Anderson has the potential to help you.
