| Thank you so much Ponte and Edson, for costing the taxpayers so much money!!! |
The Door of Hope, an extremist right wing Christian anti-abortion organization not only took up two meetings, hours of our Supervisors time, but three of those Supervisors went along with it.
The only two left of the three worst Supervisors Calaveras has ever elected are Pontiff Debbie Ponte and Pastor Cliff Edson, who were simply pushing THEIR religious beliefs on the rest of the
county.
Now it is costing Calaveras Taxpayers a lot of money to fight in Superior Court against the ACLU, who rightly, we believe, think Government and religion don't mix and that Calaveras County now only caters to the right wing extremist religions. The rest of us do NOT matter to them.

Could it be a setup for the ACLU by the Door of Hope?
Edson is nothing but trouble on that board. don't know ponte.
As you may recall, Merita Callaway spoke of the county opening itself up to a lawsuit if they insisted on their unconstitutional resolution to recognize Door of Hope. The ACLU simply asked the BOS to reword and remove the religious wording, but oh no, the three Supervisors in support of the resolution refused to take out the religious references. Now we're in a fine mess.
I remember this. No excuse for wasting our tax monley. POnte is a one-termer. all these religious fanatics are in it for one thing, to make our government ruled by their church.
I have nothing against those religious people, but they need to keep it out of MY government. I don't try to impose my religion on you!
So Ponte and Edson are responsible for this? I need to be sure.
Spellman, Ponte and Edson all voted to keep the religious references to Christ in the resolution. Callaway and Wright both stated it was promoting one religion and it is not the role of the government to do this. Callaway said this was putting the county in danger of being sued. The County staff urged the Supervisors to remove the religious language but Ponte, Spellman and Edson thought they knew better and voted to change
one word from the original resolution.
