Woman’s yard sale to pay medical bills gets shut down
A woman fighting a terminal form of bone cancer is trying to raise money to help pay bills with a few weekend garage sales, but the city of Salem says she’s breaking the law and is shutting her down.
Jan Cline had no idea, but the city of Salem has a clear law that states a person can only have three yard sales a year.
Cline has been selling her stuff in the backyard for a few weekends and said she thought she’d be fine by keeping the sale out of everyone’s way.
“It’s a struggle,†Cline says. “It’s a struggle for me because I’m very independent, used to taking care of myself.â€

Well DUmmies when you want govt in charge of everything things like this happen.
I can imagine that when this woman said she is, independent and used to taking care of herself, that concept is foreign to the primitives.

1. Some horrible human being reported her most likely
so sad how people in our country have become venomous to one another.
Probably was a DUmmy who was worried that she wasn't collecting sales tax.

2. Boy, that's just mean.
Ugly, cruel. What's with this country?
This is what you want from our country, the govt involved in everything.

3. Bet the ass that reported her belongs to a church and is a member of the Tea Party
I doubt it, I would imagine that tea party people would appreciate what she is doing, she's trying to raise money instead of sitting there with open hands demanding that taxpayers fill them.

4. Sure seems like it
Teabaggers are really selfish humans.
Yet she says she's used to taking care of herself, why would a tea party person find fault with that, and report her?

9. those cannisters you see on convenience store counters
usually with a sign attached like "Help Pay Medical Bills - Family Has No Insurance"
what a sad situation this country is in.
I bet you reach in and take a few dollars from those.

11. you mean, the cops receiving the call
couldn't just 'forget' to go around a visit her for a couple of weeks or so?? Garage sales are such high priority? And I agree, the neighbors should have stepped up and allowed her to use their lawns for a few more weeks. What happened to american revolutionary spirit?
Liberalism crushed it, is what happened.
I love how when the govt gets intrusive like this, the DUmmies bitch and whine, yet they support the govt controlling everything.
At least 0bamacare will be kind enough to give her a pain pill. :whatever:

Most of the people I've met that would be in favor of such extreme laws to protect their "property value" are moonbats. ....that fly without radar.

Around here you need a permit to hold a yard sale and you are limited to a certain number per year. They actually have city employees driving around all weekend looking for illegal yard sales.

Nice to know they are spending the money to go after the real criminals. :whatever:
My folks live in a city where they ticket you if you dare park a car on your own lawn, or if you drag out your garbage can too early, or leave it out too long after pick up.

So the fault belongs to the person who turned this woman in and not the LIBERALS' obsession with micromanaging everyone's life to the point they want to tell you how many days a year one could have a garage sale. Salem is hardly a conservative bastion. All damn day long DUmmies sit around dreaming up new ways to regulate people's lives but the impact of them is somehow everyone else's fault.

They are just following their president's lead, nothing is ever his fault. It must have been bad luck that turned this lady in.
We think we won the cold war when in reality, our own citizens are slowly turning us into the old Soviet Union.

Umm, the Tea Party is actually fed-up with the Federal and Local Governments sticking their noses in things, and I have no doubt Tea Party members and Churches will donate to this woman.
And this is for you, jerk! :bird:

So, according to the primitives, the TEA Party (when they aren't being racists) are anti-government to the point of being anarchists. Except this time, where the TEA party turned a woman in for excessive yard sale activities.... I love their consistency... :mental:

I'll tell you what's wrong with this Country. The imposter in the white mosque, all the the other red diaper doper babies that were appointed by said imposter in the white mosque, Soros, DUmmies, liberals, communists, and socialists. Just to name a few.

How the hell can that DUmmie make such a preposterous and contradictory connection? And then have other people agree with her? Lurkers, please get it through your cement heads. This is what the Tea Party is all about: SMALL GOVERNMENT.
Not micromanaging, not butting in, not passing frivolous laws. What is wrong with you people? How can you be so damn dumb that you can't read and comprehend two words? SMALL GOVERNMENT.

The Facebook page is reporting they received $18,234.00 in donations so far! :yahoo:

This is from the same group of people who cheered some little kids lemonade stands being shut down around the country.
Their claim was they should have filed the necessary paperwork and obtained permits because people could get E. coli from the lemonade and wouldn't be able to sue.
What assholes.

Good for them, hope more is on the way.
Now us Yankee thieves and pirates, have a way to get around these stupid town laws, We just hold a one day yard sale and the next door neighbor takes the unsold items from the first yard sale and holds their own.
Next week the first person to hold a yard sale gets a permit and all the things from the first and second yard sale are placed for sale. You see here both neighbors can go out and scrounge for things at other yard sales and come back and sell then at one or the others yard sale.
Yankees follow the law until they find a hole in the law, is this bad, anyone taken advantage of a IRS deduction you did not know about???? Any one go out of state to buy a car in a non tax state ????
3 miles away from home are stores and Supermarkets ----non tax-----Do you drive 10 miles to buy the same with a tax on it???

Up to $19,100. The DUmmie still got a pass on the stupid Tea Party comment.
The community seems to be rallying around her, and raking the mayor over the coals.

Exactly! and IMO, they saw this as a political opportunity because it had something to do with health insurance.

Over $25,000 in donations! :yahoo:

I'm sure the DUmmies have contacted the IRS to make sure she pays her "fair share".
