Cypress Council Faced the Voters and Won
During the debate between the Cypress City Council and Cottonwood Christian Church, ultraconservatives (such as radio talk show hosts Larry Elder and Hugh Hewitt) kept saying that the council was not representing the will of the people.
Of course, those of us who fully supported the council felt otherwise. And we were right, because on election day, all three incumbents were reelected.
After viewing the actions of the church during this ordeal (they bused people to council meetings who would stand outside screaming that anyone who didn’t support the church was the devil and would rot in hell), it is my hope that this kind of church never be built.
