Benton Harbor; Separating Face From Fiction

[Casandia]

This was on the Dailykos website by heartlandrevolution:



"Some who support the dictatoresque takeover of Benton Harbor say some awful things such as the citizens there created the financial crisis and are unwilling to help themselves. They also say that individuals who are against the hostile takeover do not have any other solutions other than to complain. I would like to take just a minute to clarify a few things concerning these lies that are being perpetrated.

First off, the citizens of Benton Harbor have been fighting for years to have their voice heard and have been willing to be a part of the solution. In fact, when this all broke loose we at Heartland Revolution called into the community to discuss a plan of action. The great part is that it was the citizens not Heartland Revolution who pushed for a rally and subsequent actions after. They are tired of being left on the sidelines and furthermore disgusted that their rights as citizens have been flushed down the toilet. They just needed allies that will stand with them to fight back, which Heartland Revolution is dedicated to and in fact, many Americans across this great nation have voiced their support as well.

The solutions I am about to list are a start and need fleshing out, but we need to open the dialog of what happens next. Truly, Benton Harbor is ground zero and just a starting point and it must stop here. Some ideas of moving forward:"
