I wonder if, based on the resolution, the City of Benton Harbor could arrest the Emergency Manager.

Very good for this city and it's people! Stop the Republiscum Dictator in his tracks! He is attempting to usurp the power of the people and impose control as a dictator.

The Michigan Messenger had a poster named Nash write this:

Does anyone remember that Hitler was appointed reluctantly due to his extremist views, but then once he was in power as an appointee, he pushed The Enabling Act which gave him total power to make the laws of the land by decree, not through anyone elses purview. So in order to pass the act that gave him so much power, he arrested 81 of the deputies that, had they not been arrested they could have stopped him.

He took over the media, outlawed all political parties except his own Nazi Party, dismissed the legislature, literally killed much of the opposition, took over all of the educational institutions and taught the propaganda of Nazism, established a youth movement with about 7 million volunteers. Set up the Gestapo, the SS, and passed the Nurembourg Laws which removed citizenship from the Jewish people along with taking away their rights to attend college, run businesses, basically shut the Jewish people out of entire social structures, pushing them into ghettos where there were originally 7,000 people became 57,000 people which made disease run rampant throughout the ghetto and there was no healthcare, people dropped like flies, women, men, children, the elderly, the disabled.

Weak economics=the rise of extremist groups.
Snyder is trying to make cities fail so he can implement his dictatorial regime.
"Fascism should be more appropriately be called corporatism, because it is the merger of the corporations and the state." Benito Mussolini

And consider that US companies ushered in the rise of Hitler by loans and gurantees of support. Alcoa, GE, GM, and many more. Even after Pearl Harbor these companies were doing business with Hitler.

Hitler gained the people's trust by promises at first, then attacking the German obligations of WWI, like reparations, then breaking the rules of the Treaty of Versailles, which impressed the people who felt oppressed under that treaty. Hitler essentially took over a weak government that had problems passing simple laws. It has been said that a strong government can pass laws relatively quickly, this was not Germany in the twenties and thirties.

Just sayin'.

The states always claim that the federal government cannot infringe on state rights, I think the same should apply to states infringing on local government rights as long as they are acting legally. I hope they will win their law suit to show these new dictators that the people will not let them sell their communities. This is pure taxation without representation. Teabaggers should be upset about this if they really knew what the Boston Tea Party was really about.

Horraaay!
Horray for the people of Benton Harbor for fighting the corporate machine.

The Republican Party no longer represents the people.
The Republican Party represents corporate interest.
The Republican Party left democracy when they left the people.
The Republican Party has become an enemy of American democracy.

Basically?
Down with The Republican Party!
down down down...

Stand up and be counted, Benton Harbor is full of patriots.

Way to go Benton Harbor! It's high time the people began to stand up against these tools for the corporate elite.

This is where the rubber meets the road. If this Guv wants to take over a city, residents are well within their rights to fight. I only hope that they realize that if they arm themselves, this Guv, cut from the 'might is right' cloth of the Koch-infected Right Wing, will call in folks with guns and tear gas and tanks and machine guns.

Rick Snyder is a lunatic and needs to be removed from society until such a time that he is no longer a threat to it.

What next will the governor lock up the citizens of Benton Harbor?

Fight ! fight ! the dying of the light !

SWEET!!!!!

Way to go people of Benton Harbor! Don't allow this unconstitutional takeover of your town without a fight! WI supports you Michiganders against the dictator Snyder!

YES!
