To the editor:
Have you noticed, there are terrorists that live amongst us? If you have been following the news media, one man who is a journalist, and also works for a left-wing radical hate group, had somehow figured out that these terrorists have met with Governor LePage for 12 hours over nine months last year. Wow! He then filed a “Freedom of Information Act” (This information was never hidden, but it looks better for the record, if you file a FOIA). Not knowing one thing about the conversations that took place, the word-smithing, twisting, and insinuations begin.
Was there a political plot that started Mr. Tipping on this path? Why did this hero of the “progressives” decide to reveal this information that was so easily obtained to begin with? Why did he reveal this group of terrorists shortly before an election? Was there a political motivation? If successful, he could go down in history as the man who revealed the radical Governor and destroyed this terrorist group – my left-wing hero! If this information that was out in the open to start with, why not turn it into the FBI, CIA, Homeland Security, State Police and the Sheriff? (good question) Wait a minute; he decided instead to write a book – good idea! Wait a minute, the book is not finished, he only has one chapter and he hopes to finish the book with money generated by people who are interested in ordering the finished book (Wow!). The real question should be, “Is this book fact, or fiction?”
Now for the realism. I am one of those four men who met with the Governor, and this one man is now accusing us as being terrorists, and part of a dangerous national group who are labeled “Sovereign Citizens” — how dare he! This terrorist group is identified by the Maine Criminal Justice Academy as believers in God and the Constitution. The academy also claims that 97 percent of U.S. Citizens are “Sovereign Citizens”! (kinda makes you wonder, doesn’t it?). It is obvious that this one man could be out to make money, but what’s more significant and probable, is that he is trying to gain the interest and attention of low-information voters, discredit the governor during the election season, and vilify a group who is close to revealing crimes within the Maine government. This is the real truth!
Why would Governor LePage spend 12 hours receiving and discussing repugnant changes made to the Maine Constitution? Why did the Governor agree with us to send the Kennebec County Sheriff to the Attorney General who ignored a Constitutional process, and several visits and letters requesting an interview regarding that process?
Naive legislators are asking the Attorney General to investigate us. We encourage this, because she would then have to admit that she is sitting on facts which she ignored, and undoubtedly fears this could open a federal investigation into the warring against the Constitutions by top leaders in the Legislature!
We have made a proposal to the Bangor Daily News, and the editor has agreed. We proposed to invite every TV and radio station, newspaper and blogger to question (live on stage) our group (Maine Constitution Coalition), the Governor, and the accuser Mr. Tipping. When the dust settles, we will come out smelling like a rose and the liar and the guilty will hang their heads in shame.
So far we have had three of our planned summer symposiums, for more information contact me at willowbee.traveler@hotmail.com or 738-4861.
