Don't misunderstand....

Please do not assume that just because I live in a place where the city, county and state governments are all controlled by Democrats; that, in fact, our mayor personally endorsed Barack Obama for president; that our governor was a choice for the Obama Cabinet until charges of corruption caused him to "voluntarily" withdraw; that our local newspaper endorsed Democrat candidates in every Congressional race in 2008; that registered Democrats heavily outnumber members of all other political parties combined; or that any other political leanings are involved in this bit of news.

This is just a story of concerned American citizens, standing up for what they believe is important.

The City Council at Las Cruces has agreed to consider a presentation by CLUCK. Actually, it is C.L.U.C.K. (Citizens for Legalization of Urban Chicken Keeping). C.L.U.C.K. is protesting, and seeking removal of, a local ban on keeping a flock of chickens within the City Limits.
