My confrontation with Councilwoman Deanna Koski!

On April 13th, just after noon, I was at the Sterling Heights Public Library collecting signatures for Joe Judnick, who's running for the city council. Two other councilwomen, Deanna Koski and Yvonne Kniaz, were also there collecting their own signatures. I was talking to somebody about the tax and budget policies of the city council. After the coast cleared, Ms. Koski came up to me and told me to watch myself about talking about the issues. My heart was going 200 beats a minute at that moment. My blood pressure was through the roof. That old hag Koski had some nerve intimidating me like that. We went back and forth for about two minutes, and I stood my ground. About 20 minutes later, she actually gave me a timid apology. She said that she normally doesn't lose her temper, but she claimed that what I said hurt her. Well, excuse me, Councilwoman Koski! The truth hurts, doesn't it? The fact is that the current council has increased our taxes, accumulated millions of dollars in outstanding debt, and left the city with over $100 million in unfunded liabilities from pension and health care plans for Sterling Heights workers. And now that the council members are running for their political lives, they must resort to intimidating private citizens to shut them up. But I will not shut up and I will not go away! She actually admitted that she voted for Congresswoman Candice Miller to make herself look nonpartisan. I asked her if she voted for President Barack Obama, and she said no. When I pressed further, she said she voted for John McCain. I wonder what her fellow Democrats will think about that? So much for nonpartisanship. She certainly sounded very partisan when she confronted me without provocation! I was just talking to somebody about the issues. I never addressed any issues to her. I neither confronted nor complained about her voting record, although others did. But we have to look at the larger issue here. This is a symptom of a much larger problem. Politicians work for the people; it is not the other way around. For decades, conservatives and Tea Party Patriots like myself have been accused of starving children, kicking senoirs out of their homes, not giving unions workers enough pay, not giving health care to everybody, and so on. (I told this to Koski!) It's time to place the blame where it really belongs, to the people who will raise taxes and deficits and blame their victims for the demise that they caused themselves. Now I know a lot of you are thinking why I would make a big deal about an old woman who is barely half my size giving me a hard time. I'll tell you why. It's because this is not an isolated incident. In fact, this is the modus operandi for liberals. If you are familiar with Saul Alinsky's tactic of 'pick it, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it', you'll know exactly what I mean. And what the hell kind of a council is Mayor Richard Notte running when the council members try to intimidate citizens into submission? The Sterling Heights City Council is running the city to the ground. They should be held responsible for their actions. They have nobody to blame but themselves. I know that I'm not alone in this struggle. Millions of Americans are rising up because they are mad as hell and they're not going to take it anymore. As far as Deanna Koski is concerned, I'll accept her apology - when she and the rest of the tax-and-spend liberals on the council are defeated this November. I will not rest until they are. But it's nothing personal. It's strictly business! G.J. LaRouche, 14 April 2011
