I'm not from greenfield, but will try to make it to the meeting. I have a battle to fight in Saukville (they ban posession of an assembled firearm) in the near future and would like to see how these meetings go.

For the most part, it takes you an hour to drive, and you sit for an hour, and if the board lets us, we will each talk for about 5 min. The Greenfield board should let us all talk, they did the last time this came up. All 7 of us talked,nonefrom Greenfield.
The problem I am seeing now is that the lawyer for the city, is a bum, and needs replacement ASAP. He will not take the time to learn any State laws, but he has made the gun issue come up three times now. I am thinking his best friend in the world, is a Greenfield cop, and not any Greenfield people. If he goes unchecked, he will cost the people of Greenfield a lot of needed money, again...
So now we have Geoff, and he is also from out of town (as am I). Will any people from Greenfield not stand up and take control of your city? Do we "outsiders" have to do every thing for you? Do you people not want any rights? Do the members from Milwaukee not understand that what Greenfield does will come to our cityreal fast? Hey, public building sounds a lot like public street, maybe we should ban that, after all no people care...
I see a lot of our forum members like to talk a lot about the needed changes in our laws, but I do not think most of us will even try to make any change, if it meant that you would have to get off your a$$ and make a stand. A lot of you have gone to gun "party's", but will any of you EARN the right you think should be yours? If you live far, I can understand, but we have members from this city, and none were at the last meeting! NONE!!!
Now, Geoff has also brought up an impending new "must go to" meeting in Saukville. He will need our help again. Is this also to far for us to drive? Ya, I will be at that one too, but that is only two people so far (just like Greenfield I guess). Geoff and I will not be able to protect the rights of the full state of Wisconsin, with out YOU. We need YOUR help!!! We do not even have to pay any lawyer, just come and give your feelings on this issue. Does this not matter enough to be late with dinner for a night or two? Will this very real issue not get you all to start going to your local Government meetings? I have no job,very little cash, a wife that is starting to think I am nuts, and I was an a$$ hair away from going to Green Bay to help out with the (now dead) park ban law (150 miles for me). What was your reason for not supporting this? Hey Doug, did you go? I was told for a long time, that knowlage was power, but now I am older. I understand now, that knowlage only speeds up change, it is action thatbrings the change about in the first place. One, without the other, brings about nothing.
Please remember people, this is YOUR boat, and there is a hole in the bottom of it. If you want to see that the hole is fixed, you will have to fix the hole! Talk on the Internet, will not plug any hole. If this is all you have to offer (cheap talk on a web site), then your boat will be at the bottom of the lake in no time.
This is the kind of stuff that made America in the first place, I can only pray to God that we have not lost this idea... We the people, is you the people. The direction all this takes is your choice. You make this call...
