Sadly, this thread is another perfect example of the real problem we face here in Dodge City.

Any successful campaign requires two things. 1. A leader(s) willing to step up and rally the troops. 2. Troops willing to step up and answer the call to rally.

Dodge City has never had a problem with a leader willing to step up and rally the troops for their particular campaign, Dodge City has a major problem with troops willing to answer the rally call. It's who we are. Lets face the facts our families moved to western Kansas because we didn't fit in to the competitiveness of the eastern troops. We are more of a "live and let live" or "It's not my fight" type of troops.

We are not willing to commit to a battle that is not our own even knowing it's loss may bring the battle to our own front door in the future.

We see a leaders call to rally and realize it's a worthy cause but unless it impacts us directly we tend to take a no big deal response. For this reason we are destine to be run over by our government and others willing to wage a campaign against us.

Can this issue be forced to public vote? If so, whats it take to force it to a public vote? This seems to be where we have our problems.
