On RUCO, the PAC and a little Roch Smith on Censorship

If Denise Turner Roth was Vice President for Governmental Affairs

and acted as a lobbyist for the taxpayer funded Greensboro Partnership

which funds TREBIC and is a TREBIC member, along with

Greensboro Builders Association, Greensboro Regional REALTORS© Association,

the Piedmont Triad Apartment Association,

National Association of Industrial and Office Parks (NAIOP) NC Piedmont Triad Chapter

Brown Investment Properties, Carroll Companies, D.H. Griffin, Keystone Group, Inc.

Koury Corporation, Richardson Corporation, Samet Corporation,

Signature Property Group, Smith Moore Leatherwood LLP,

D. Stone Builders, Inc., Isaacson Isaacson Sheridan & Fountain, Kotis Properties,

NAI Piedmont Triad, Nexsen Pruet, PLLC, Tuggle Duggins & Meschan, P.A.,

Weaver Investment Co., Alliance Management, Inc., Carruthers & Roth,

Greensboro Partnership, Hagan Properties Inc., Lomax Properties, LLC,

Simpson, Schulman & Beard, Starmount Company and Windsor Investments

and TREBIC members include Roy Carroll, Robbie Perkins,

and the Greensboro Parntership gave the Bonds for Schools Committee $70,000

which also gave the Quarter Cent Tax Committee $10,500

whose Greensboro Economic Development Alliance recieves taxpayer money

whose board members include Linda Shaw and Nancy Vaughan

and TREBIC was directly responsible for eliminating RUCO

with taxpayer funds from the Greensboro Partnership

and Robbie Perkins NAI Piedmont, among multiples of other real estate contributors

to Mr. Perkins Mayoral campaign,

should some be sceptical of information

espoused by Robbie's ex-campaign manager on the Performing Arts Center?

If Jon Bell, Bell Partners, Dr. Linda P. Brady, UNCG,

Charles E. Melvin Jr., Smith Moore Leatherwood LLP

Jim Melvin, Joseph M. Bryan Foundation of Greater GSO

Dan Lynch, Greensboro Economic Development Alliance

and Stephen D. Showefty, Koury Corporation

could many at the Greensboro Partnership represent the 1%?

Prior restraint

Prior restraint or prior censorship is censorship

in which certain material may not be published or communicated...

Prior restraint prevents the censored material

from being heard or distributed at all...

In some countries (e.g., United States, Argentina) prior restraint is forbidden,

subject to certain exceptions, by a constitution.

Prior restraint often takes the form of a legal injunction or government order

prohibiting the publication of a specific document or subject.

Sometimes, a government or other party

becomes aware of a forthcoming publication on a particular subject

and seeks to prevent it: to halt ongoing publication and prevent its resumption.

These injunctions are considered prior restraint

because potential future publications are stopped in advance.

...“Freedom of the Press” is defined as the right to be free from prior restraints.

Every freeman has an undoubted right to lay what sentiments he pleases

before the public; to forbid this, is to destroy the freedom of the press

William Blackstone

Prior restraint, on the other hand,

takes an idea or material completely out of the marketplace.

Thus it is often considered to be the most extreme form of censorship.

A prior restraint, by contrast and by definition,

has an immediate and irreversible sanction.

If it can be said that a threat of criminal or civil sanctions

after publication 'chills' speech, prior restraint 'freezes' it at least for the time.
