Let me know when that petition is available or how I can help. Lets exercise our rights as citizens! It’s OUR government after all. If we don’t keep them in check, I doubt they will govern themselves.

My wife theorizes that the coming economic crash has generated a flock of “government” employees who are feverishly building portfolios of [trumped up] violations so that when gov’t job cuts arrive, due to the collapse in tax base, they hope to save their job because they have so many important “ongoing” investigations.

Highly interesting, even if you’re from outside UT and outside US! I remember listening to the podcast from the FCR archives where Rick spent an entire show pointing out the key issues that now are being made “officially” public by the audit. Either Mr. Koerber has the gift of prophecy, or —more likely— priciples govern indeed.

This Utah audit reminds me of the thoughts behind the original show of make room for Danny where Danny Thomas exceed the speed in a small North Carolina town and the local sheriff arrested Thomas and took him to the local sheriffs office walked behind the desk sat down and flipped over the sheriffs ID to the justice of the peace and began the court trial for the speeding offense Thomas protested a bit but asked how much to make this problem go away.. the Justice of the peace / sheriff said that the charge had increased for bribery and the fine was 50 dollars or 3 days in jail.. Thomas laughed it off as not that big a deal starts pealing off a few bills to pay his way out and the sheriff/ justice of the peace saw it was not any big deal to the out of towner and found some other infraction increasing the fine to 500 dollars.. Thomas got his back up .. thus this spin off started the Andy Griffith show…. and Mayberry
Looks like Utah has that TV pilot beaten all over the place.. its time for Free Capitalist to do a TV production So its not just the backwoods South that has a few guys that control all.. (Dukes of Hazard) its just too bad that this is a Real life situation and not some Fox special.. cutesy TV pilot or the Beauford Pusser story.. (Walking tall). Happy 4th of July enjoy the hotdogs burgers ect..

WOO HOO!!! Go FCP!!! It is such a shame that people in power that have been GIVEN their power by the PEOPLE abuse that power to prove that they have power. Are they just thinking that “something must be going on” in successful companies, so they try to get them to come crashing down by lying about them? It reminds me of an episode of South Park that reran recently, which spoofed Michael Jackson and his involvement with kids, including the court cases that were levied against him. In short, the police officers in the show said that because he was a rich black man, he had to be framed of a crime in order to knock him down. Of course, this wouldn’t happen in real life, would it? WOULD IT?!?!?!
