Hi all,

If there is one thing that is certain, it is that the resolution will
spark a response. I don't know what the  'progressive alders' have
said about this, but if they suggest that acrimony will ensue if a
resolution is introduced, it probably will.

If it is, in fact, "easy to be quiet and tolerant of the abuses of
the US government," then MAPC could force the issue. A resolution
could be introduced, debate and a vote would follow. It would
generate a lot of attention--much like the pledge flap (which wasn't
a "ban," but that didn't stop it from being reported that way).

I've seen the language of resolution and think that it is pretty
tame, really. But anyone who is committed to precipitating a debate
on this issue in the Madison Common Council should prepare for the
possibility of a media storm and a lot of harsh attention.

My $0.02,
X
