2/15 Oakland City Meeting: Reportback
- Posted by i69news on February 19th, 2007 filed in Resistance
Last Thursday’s meeting in Oakland City, IN, organized by CARR (Citizens for Appropriate Railroads) was not nearly as productive as we had hoped. Though about 30 landowners were in attendance, enthusiasm was painfully low. CARR had intended the focus of the meeting to be on resistance of I-69 via letters-to-your-senators, but their uninspiring/uninspired call to action was further undermined by an ‘eminent domain’ lawyer who dominated about 75% of the conversation with advice on what to do when the government inevitably DOES seize your land.
If the meeting accomplished anything, it was to expose how desperately the I-69 resistance movement in that region needs to be organized.
