Ottawa Impact Update from Joe Moss (09/11/21)

From Joe Moss, Founder of Ottawa Impact (OttawaImpact.com)

Ottawa County residents are now BANNED from entering the County building during commissioner meetings UNLESS they are giving public comment (or using the restroom), and even then it's limited to approximately 50 residents at a time in a waiting room.

Everyone MUST stay outside, according to the rules.

After giving public comment, residents will be EJECTED from the building.

Nothing says "we don't represent you" like "you can't come here."

Are these protocols helpful? Are they consistent with the Open Meetings Act? Is cutting off people from their own local government a good idea?

You can see the new rules on the Board of Commissioners' website: https://www.miottawa.org/Departments/BOC/​

In case they delete the rules, you can see a backup copy here.

If you want to attend the next Board of Commissioners meeting, Ottawa Impact PAC announced an event called "Precall & Pizza" on Tuesday. You can learn more on the Ottawa Precall website by clicking here.

We get our rights from God, not the Government

We are “all created equal . . . endowed by [our] Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.  That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men.”  Decl. of Indep. When the government is destructive of securing our rights, “it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it.”  Decl. of Indep.

Rick Martin (with the "Constitutional Law" Group) is NOT an attorney

  https://youtu.be/5kgQ8VHiA0Q Rick Martin (with the "Constitutional Law" Group) is NOT an attorney, and he admitted that on the record in court today. He filed an Appearance to represent an innocent restaurant owner in court, claiming that he was a Michigan-licensed attorney. He had been giving her "legal" advice all along. I do NOT promote lying in court like Rick Martin did today. If you watch the court hearing, you'll also notice once he was facing contempt of court charges, he backpeddled as hard as he could, claiming he "didn't know" he was going to be there as her attorney today, but just planned to be there to help her because she struggles with the English language. This is the same man who has been giving business owners all across Michigan "legal" advice, claiming to be a "Constitutional Lawyer" representing many of these businesses in their situations. This is the same man who created the "Constitutional L
