The Carpenters Union showed up to validate why the Detention Center is needed. They need to work. CCA Attorney, was there. He hasn't made many appearances at these meetings. He is almost at the Pembroke Pines meetings, to monitor their Commissioners. Over a period of time, CCA has recruited Lobbyists from the town, which is so blatantly obvious, it's nauseating. Looks like the DYNAMICS are changing. Someone called in the UNION. Not impressed!!!!!!!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5021091294764115072.post-9817412920299702012-02-10T08:33:10.315-05:002012-02-10T08:33:10.315-05:00The meeting held in SWR was very CONTROLLED and re...The meeting held in SWR was very CONTROLLED and residents arriving were subjected to a very UNDEMOCRATIC PROCESS. Entrance to the location which was our Public Library was set up like a POLICE STATE. We had to pass a significant number of POLICE OFFICERS just to drive onto the property and a significant number of them at the Library Door. They asked us "Why we were there?". Once parked and before we gained entrance to the Library, we were required to fill out an information card and check off whether we were "OPPOSED" or "FOR" the Ice Detention Center and place these cards in designated receptacles with your question written on it. Seating was limited to approx. 200 people, the rest stood outside and watched on a big screen that was set up. In doors, the meeting was controlled, and the cards submitted were used to ask questions and ICE answered them accordingly. The meeting was a failure. We all felt it was a poor attempt to appease our frustrations. Just keep doing what you are doing. Yell as loud as you can. Don't give in. They are just trying to find your vulnerable spot, or your ACHILLES TENDON.Just state the facts as you have been acquiring documented proof to substantiate your fight.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
