Free Detroit No Consent is holding a rally Wednesday June 27 at 5pm. We know Detroit has been sacrificing trust for TOO LONG! Mayor Bing wants us to sacrifice even more.
- File Ethics Complaints against those whom have sacrificed the city and its people
- Attend meetings with officials, demand representation
Mayor Bing holds a Community Meeting at 7pm after the rally across the street - join us in attending the rally! - Update voter registration - no vote is no voice and CONSENT to a failing system
- Assist in bringing new complaints and investigations into corruption
Detroit Mayor Dave Bing and his accomplices have an agenda — the Rape of Detroit. Extract anything that is good and decent from the city, sell it off to the wardens of a new Empire of Detroit.
The people have a choice, either:
- Lay down and submit, Consent to Agree
- Stand up, educate, use the law, and Fight Back
This is why Free Detroit - No Consent was formed. The people of the city are not willing victims in this “Consent Agreement”, WE DO NOT CONSENT. We the people are being enslaved by this system.
Yesterday, June 22 Mayor Bing asked for a Special Meeting with City Council to remove Corporation Counsel Krystal Crittendon. He needs six votes from council, council denied him that June 11. This was his second attempt.
Public comments were heard for about a half hour and the Mayor couldn’t handle the heat. Each person coming to speak was supportive of the lawyer and reinforced that she was doing her job, yet the Mayor was not doing his job. He has continued to operate outside the law of the City Charter. The people have had enough!
The Mayor claimed to have a phone conference he had to be on with Washington DC. He interrupted public comments twice. Council President Charles Pugh asked the Mayor if he would return so the meeting could be kept open. The Mayor was not specific and left.
A half hour later a representative from the Mayor’s office spoke with press who were in the room and asked them to come to the 11th floor for a press conference. The people were waiting, City Council was waiting while this happened. The Mayor put the city on hold while he spoke to the press - then he did not return to complete the meeting. City Council closed the meeting around 4pm. It had started at 2pm.
The Mayor continues to exercise privilege of the press in portraying the residents of the city in a degrading manner. He no longer seeks legal counsel through Corporation Counsel as required by the City Charter. He employs legal counsel from Miller Canfield who are going to be shown in collusion with the State of Michigan, and Court system in the enslaving of the poor, with a focus on communities that are predominantly black.
Free Detroit started on the anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr’s assassination, which is the date (April 4, 2012) that the Consent Agreement was approved 5-4 by City Council. It wasn’t a super-majority, nor was it placed to the people for a vote. We were enslaved by a system that demonstrates Taxation without Representation. We intend to fight on many fronts.
Free Detroit has created an Ethics Complaint that can be downloaded, signed, notarized, and turned in with the Board of Ethics. We are seeking to have him and his accomplices removed from office and legal proceedings held against him that may land him in prison. The next Board of Ethics meeting is July 27, please have your complaint turned in through Free Detroit by Monday July 23rd. Your complaint needs to be notarized and we would like to know how many are being turned in. Contact: 313-444-0061 or info@freedetroit.org
