Salute for the Pledge?

 Since Jim Shelton and Gerd  "Jake" blasted a fellow council member for not reciting the Pledge of Allegiance during council meetings, these two have taken to Saluting while reciting the Pledge!

  Rules for Saluting the US Flag

  Law Now Allows Retirees and Vets to Salute Flag

Traditionally, members of the nation's veterans service organizations have rendered the hand-salute during the national anthem and at events involving the national flag only while wearing their organization’s official head-gear. 

The National Defense Authorization Act of 2008 contained an amendment to allow un-uniformed service members, military retirees, and veterans to render a hand salute during the hoisting, lowering, or passing of the U.S. flag.

A later amendment further authorized hand-salutes during the national anthem by veterans and out-of-uniform military personnel. This was included in the Defense Authorization Act of 2009, which President Bush signed on Oct. 14, 2008.

  The Pledge of Allegiance was left out of the above law.
 

The United States Flag Code states:

The Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag: “I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”, should be rendered by standing at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart. When not in uniform men should remove any non-religious headdress with their right hand and hold it at the left shoulder, the hand being over the heart. Persons in uniform should remain silent, face the flag, and render the military salute. Members of the Armed Forces not in uniform and veterans may render the military salute in the manner provided for persons in uniform.

Note the last two sentences, i.e.  Remain Silent and Salute..  

Seems Jim Shelton and Gerd Jacobi have established their own Code, they Salute without cover AND Recite the Pledge.  

  These two are both retired military and should follow the US Flag Code!

Time to Vote Jim Shelton and Gerd Jacobi out of office.  Vote Frank Archuleta, Place 1,

Joan Pedrotti, Place 2 and Pam Dodson, Place 3.  It's time to get Windcrest back on the right path, of following the laws of the land.  

 

Open Meeting Violation!

City Council Members are prohibited from meeting with a Quorum of Council Members.  If they meet that's a violation of the Open Meetings Act.  The attached video shows three council members, Jim Shelton, James McFall and Gerd Jocobi along with the Mayor walking to and entering the old WEDC trailer behind city hall shortly before a scheduled meeting. James McFall was voted off council Place 4 shortly after this video and now has returned as a candidate for Place 2.

  Windcrest Citizens voted James McFall off council last November, now it's time for Windcrest Citizens to vote Jim Shelton and Gerd "Jake" Jacobi off City Council as well.  Citizens should not vote James McFall back onto Council.  These guys have lost their Moral Compass as they have no qualms about violating the Open Meetings Act.

  There are three candidates running for Council this November.  Pamela Dodson is running for Re-Election to Place 3, newcomer Joan Pedrotti is running for Place 2 and Frank Archuleta is runing for Place 1.
  Pamela Dodson has demonstrated on many occasions during her tenure on City Council that her Moral Compass is in Tact.
 
  Joan Pedrotti has demonstrated during her pre-retirement employment that her Moral Compass is in Tact

  Frank Archuleta, Lt. Colonel Retired, US Army demonstrated a fine Moral Compass throughout his military career.

  Vote for: Frank Archuleta, Place 1
                 Joan Pedrotti, Place 2
                   Pamela Dodson, Place 3

           

Restore Windcrest Integrity!

 Vote to Elect Frank Archuleta, Joan Pedrotti to Windcrest City Council and Re-Elect Pam Dodson to City Council to bring Integrity back to City Council.  It's time to change the leadership at Windcrest City Hall!.
Windcrest residents voted out half of the City Council last election, now it's time for the other two to move on.  Jim Shelton and Jake Jacobi should be replaced, so get out and Vote.  These two sitting Council Persons always vote as if on remote control.  They often have meetings in the trailer before council sessions to align their votes with the Mayor's wishes.
  When the Mayor was accused of  "Cursing Out"  the Fire Chief, these two voted 'Not Guilty'.  These two approved of Cursing out employees and proudly voted Not Guilty.
  Next Jim Shelton and Jake Jacobi blasted a council person for not saying the Pledge like they do. Forget one's Rights,  they just Trampled over those rights because there is no one to stop them. Your Vote will stop them, so get out and Vote.
    Those that served our nation, served to protect the 1st amendment rights, now these two want to ignore those rights because they think they are better than everyone else.  
  Vote Frank Archuleta for Place 1, Joan Pedrotti for Place 2 and Re-Elect Pam Dodson for Place 3 and get Windcrest back to normal.  It's time for to a Change in Leadership!  Vote to restore Integrity back in Windcrest City Council!
