Forced AnnexationFayetteville tends arbitrarily expand its city limits, compelling those people who choose to live outside of town to become citizens of the expanding municipality. Many of these citizens do not want or need the services offered by the city government, which are paid for through compulsory taxation.
We oppose forced annexation in Cumberland County.
Right now, the Cumberland County Libertarian Party supports the Gates Four community in its efforts to fight forced annexation. One of the essential rights of a free society is the ability to vote with one's feet. If you disagree with the policies of a city, you should be allowed to move outside of that city.
The problem with Gates Four, as with many of the recent annexed communities, is that the city of Fayetteville has choosen to annex those communities simply to collect more tax revenue. This is greed, and does not serve to better the annexed communities.
Is your community being annexed? Would you like support from the Cumberland County Libertarian Party at your community and city council meetings? Email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

WASHINGTON — The United States government is financing its more than trillion-dollar-a-year borrowing with i.o.u.’s on terms that seem too good to be true. “What a good country or a good squirrel should be doing is stashing away nuts for the winter. The United States is not only not saving nuts, it’s eating the ones left over from the last winter.” WILLIAM H. GROSS |
Quotes
America does not go abroad in search of monsters to destroy. She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all. She well knows that by enlisting under other banners than her own, were they even the banners of foreign independence, she would involve herself beyond the power of extrication in all the wars of interest and intrigue, of individual avarice, envy and ambition, which assume the colors and usurp the standards of freedom. -- John Quincy Adams |
