Freedom of Speech & Public Meetings

Freedom of Speech is not dead!

This site wishes to thank the efforts of two distinguished county leaders for their unselfish sacrifice to allow the people of Swain County to voice their opinions over the North Shore Road issue.
Against the majority of the Swain County Board of Commissioners after the issue was once passed in a prior meeting to go forward after it was revisited and killed by a board reversal. These men stood up.
They went forward to allow Freedom of Speech in troubled times.

Your courage and compassion shall not be forgotten.
Thank you, Commissioners, Philip Carson and David Monteith. You are both honorable members of the Swain County Board of Commissioners unlike others.

It's about time somebody let these guys know. They stood up for one of our most precious rights. No one should ever attempt top quite FREEDOM OF SPEECH.

I agree that these guys stood up. But was it for our rights or are they playing both sides of the fence?

IT TAKES A COWARD NOT TO LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE THAT ELECTED THEM.IN 1943 THE PEOPLE DID NOT HAVE A CHOICE AND 3 OF THE ELECTED COWARDS NOW WILL NOT EVEN LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE.

You know, if you folks would quit calling everyone who disagrees with you cowards and traitors, you might actually get a little more public support. As it is, your constant degradation of others does nothing for your cause.
