So, what are we going to do about it?
We have the right to be heard not scoffed at by the bos.
We have the right to ask questions about how our taxes are spent not told it is none of our concern by the bos.
We have the right to vote down articles at town meeting not have them forced on us again and again by the bos.
We have the right to be treated civilly not publicly insulted and humiliated by the bos.
We have the right to have qualified employees working for town not just puppets hired by the bos.
We have the right to have our taxes spent wisely in hard economic times not have our tax dollars squandered by unnecessary legal fees or a costly compute audit by the bos.
We have the right to a town government that is for the people and by the people. Yes we can.

Watch Sweet Brucey and Friends. America's new motto is "Yes We Can." Wareham's new motto is "Yes THEY can, but the rest of us better keep our fat yaps shut."

Oh I forgot, but just remembered another one while watching the news.
Obama promises "Change You Can Believe In." The BOS promises "Change You'd BETTER Believe in!"
