We asked questions about citizens taping police, red light traffic cameras, fluoride in water, how accessible is your city council rep, and urban farming.

Over 100 fliers passed out in 2 hours!!!!!!!!

KANSAS CITY, MO. – People pushing for a proposed law banning red-light cameras in Missouri rallied for support in Kansas City Saturday. A red light camera ban already has passed the state senate.

There are 29 red light cameras across Kansas City. And every time one of them flashes a photo, a vehicle owner gets a $100 ticket in the mail. The city claims the cameras have made intersections safer, citing police statistics showing a drop in the number of accidents at these locations.

“It is a proven program, that it works, the police are very supportive of it,” said Steve Glorioso, former aide to the mayor. “It frees up officers to fight crime, violent crime, burglary, etc. And yet, it allows the city a way and the police a way to cut down on people violating our traffic laws.”

But a group calling itself The Liberty Restoration Project said red-light cameras are all about seeing green for municipalities and vendors that sell them. Supporters of a red-light camera ban say there more effective ways to make intersections safer that don’t cost drivers a dime.

“If you extend the yellow light times by one second, it reduces accidents by 70 to 80 percent,” said Tracy Ward, protester. “All red, which means all the streetlights are red for an extra half a second also increases safety in intersections, it doesn’t cost taxpayers any extra money.”

The state transportation bill currently includes a prohibition on photo red light enforcement systems. Supporters believe there’s a good chance lawmakers will pass it, and then it will be up to the governor.

This is a posting of local events and issues coming up in the next week that Liberty Restoration Project will be involved with:

Tuesday, May 4th
We will be in Jefferson City for the CODE BLUE HEALTH CARE FREEDOM ACT RALLY
Show Me State Sovereignty
Code Blue Rally
When: Tuesday, May 4, 10:00 a.m.
Where: Missouri State Capitol – Senate Gallery
Why: We must show up in huge numbers so Senators know we mean business. “We the People” want a ballot option to protect our families from federal health control. (Wear Red)

Rally at noon in the first floor rotunda!

Hear from the sponsors of the resolutions and leaders of the Missouri Sovereignty effort in the Missouri General Assembly – Sen. Jane Cunningham, Rep. Tim Jones, Sen. Jim Lembke, Rep. Brian Nieves and others.

They have set up a fun activity before the rally if you’re interested:
9:30 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. – Join in the Rolling Tea Party circling the Capitol. Decorate your car with balloons, flags, writing on the glass – however creative or not creative you want to be. We are alerting the press and the members of the General Assembly to step out of the Capitol at that time and watch the patriots as they circle the Capitol in support of the Health Care Freedom Act.
At 9:55 a.m., honk your car horn for two minutes.
Drivers should then drop off your passengers so they can go in and find seats in the Senate Gallery. They can save a seat for the driver so the driver can join them after the car is parked.

Wednesday, May 5th
SUPPORT Urban Farming
Kansas City City Hall, 26th Floor
1:30pm

A lovely message from BADSEED:

This is crazy Farmer Brooke and I am down on my dirt-stained knees begging you to drop everything on Wednesday, May 5th at 1:30 PM and get your “organic” booties down to City Hall on the 26th Floor to SUPPORT URBAN AGRICULTURE at the final hearing before City Council to vote on city code changes that will make it possible for urban farms and gardens to flourish throughout KC!!

As you know, this movement to amend the city codes regarding farms & gardens came out of the BADSEED crisis which began last season when our idyllic farm came under scrutiny from the City and was threatened to be dismantled. Consequently, we are in fact moving to a new location. We may have lost the battle here on BADSEED Farm, but all the heart-ache will be worth it IF as a result we get a “greener” Kansas City at large. Heck Yeah!!!

We Kansas Citians are very fortunate to have some awesome “forward-thinking” and “environmentally aware” individuals on our City Council who have pushed this codes change forward. However – there is plenty of opposition and without the showing of community support this thing will get squashed under the pressure of politically powerful “tomato-haters”……ya know…..the same folks who rose up against BADSEED Farm in the first place. Why?? Well, come weed an onion bed with me, and I will tell ya all about it….

Okay Okay – on a more serious note – I need you! My urban eggplant needs you. We need you to support us on May 5th!

Pretty pretty PLEASE with heirloom tomato sauce on top of it……

If you cannot make it down to City Hall you can always e-mail a “short and sweet” letter of support to your City Council representatives at city_council@kcmo.org. PLEASE contact me if you need more info or details.

If this thing passes it will actually be legal for you to come and weed my onion beds with me!! Haha!

Yours Truly,
Brooke
-farmer and mistress of the BADSEED

Saturday, May 8th
Red Light Camera protest at 39th and Southwest Trafficway
Noon to 2pm
You know the drill, you’ve seen us out there at least 3 times this year. This is BIG PUSH!! Details as follows:

For the past year, Senator Jim Lembke and Campaign for Liberty members have worked on banning Red Light Cameras. Senator Lembke’s amendment to ban red light cameras passed in the Missouri Senate this Tuesday. With a little more work, that legislation now has a good chance of passing in the Missouri House.

Red Light Cameras have been a violation of your rights and they do not provide due process. We need your help to insure that this ban becomes law and is not stripped in committee from HB2111. The bill’s fate lies in the hands of these legislators:

Please call:

your state representative (contact info here www.house.mo.gov )

Senator Stouffer (sponsor of the bill) (314) 751-1507

Representative Dixon (committee chair) (573) 751-9809

Representative Faith (573) 751-1452

Encourage support of this ban.

Here are some talking points associated with the lack of due process:

Due Process: says that government must respect all of the legal rights that are owed to a person according to the law. Due process holds the government submissive to the law of the land, protecting individual persons from the state.

The 5th amendment to the constitution says that no person shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.

Because of municipality’s use of a ‘rebuttable presumption,’ or a presumption that the driver of the car is the owner of the car, and a failure of the municipality to provide evidence against the driver of the car, individuals are forced incriminate themselves or investigate, provide evidence, and incriminate another.

Forcing the owner of the car to incriminate another, in many cases a family member, can be a violation of a person’s right to spousal privilege (the right to not incriminate or testify against your spouse).

Municipalities use a presumption of guilt, not innocence, and punish our Missouri citizens based on the assumption that the individual who owned the car is the individual who ran the red light. If you are innocent you must provide proof of your innocence vs. the state providing proof of your guilt.

Thank Senator Lembke, Josh Carter and Tracy Ward for leading the effort to stop this violation of Missouri citizen’s rights.

PRESS RELEASE:

Group Protests Scanners at KCI

Posted by: Sam Hartle Email: hartle@nbcactionnews.com Last Update: 6:40 pm

Group Protests Body Scanners at KCI

Airports across the country are adding body scanners for extra security, despite the controversial nature of the new technology.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Airports across the country are adding body scanners for extra security, despite the controversial nature of the new technology.

Many worry about privacy and how much of a person’s body shows up on the scanners.

Kansas City International Airport recently added one of the scanners to Terminal B.

On Saturday, the “Liberty Restoration Project” protested the new security measures.

“I would rather see the airport, rather the airlines, chose their own security,” said protester Gabe Gryder. “We prefer the government get out of the way of the airlines.

The Transportation Security Administration says that an officer located in a room away from the scanners views the images, which aren’t able to be saved.
