Mr. Barnett,
Please help us to better understand your position. Are you saying that the US Constitution is intended to protect you from others' ability to exchange in free trade? Is is some issue of taxation that you are bothered by. i.e. You fear that the federal government won't get it's due if more local transactions are encouraged by this? Did you interpret the ordinance to mean that you'd somehow be prohibited form getting the goods and service that you are normally buy? Did you read the ordinance? I'd like to get to the core of what exactly you find threatening about it as I'd like to propose a similar ordinance in my town.
Thanks in advance for clarifying.

The ability of dipshit local municipalities to overrule the federal government ended the precise moment Lee handed Grant his sword at Appomattox. Ridiculous, this idea that locals can fuck with my constitutional rights, it's absurd.
