There is currently a petition to ban alcohol at a private business in Poplar Bluff (Missouri) because children go there. There will apparently be a vote on April 18, so there is not much time left!!

If you feel that the city council has NO BUSINESS regulating whether or not a PRIVATE BUSINESS can sell alcohol if they get a permit from the state, then PLEASE SIGN THIS!!!

If you feel that that regulating what a PRIVATE BUSINESS can and cannot legally provide, then SIGN THIS NOW!!

If you feel that people who want to limit other's personal and economic freedoms have the right to choose to go to other places for entertainment but not the right to tell others how to run their lives or business, PLEASE SIGN NOW!!

I have been hearing from so many of you who believe that our local business owners should have the final say in how they operate. It is quite overwhelming to see how many people share this view on personal autonomy. I am currently working to organize these thoughts before we approach the council.

I am honestly stunned by how many people have stepped up to defend these basic freedoms. This reaction shows just how deeply our neighbors care about keeping local businesses independent. It really is all of you driving this momentum forward.

Business owners should have the right to choose what lawful activities are allowed on their own premises

Ridiculous that the city thinks they can tell a business owner how to run things. If you dont like the place just dont go there simple as that.

Agree 100000000% (yes, i know that the most i can actually agree with this is 100%). I hate cigarette smoke, but if a privately-owned business requires patrons to smoke 10 packs of cigarettes in order to patronize the establishment, that should be the business owner's right.
