It is felt people have the right to know
According to emails and postings there are no minutes being
posted for any meetings since 2007
Even if it's not good new. Over $22,000 and no accounting for it! COURT RULES IN FAVOR OF SUMMERS, WATSON & WESTERN CHEROKEE 3 TIMES As of this date the defendants and their associates have not surrendered Western Cherokee Property as stipulated in two court orders and supported in the Stipulation and Order. What are the fundamental differences between the thinking of the Plaintiffs Jerry Summers, John Watson and the Western Cherokee a Missouri Non-Profit and the Defendants, Unincorporated Association claim and filing with the court. See the legal differences between being a Organized Group Vs. Unincorporated Association. Proof is in their filing with the court Click Here to read PDF file. A court order did state that Chief Jerry Summers and Vice Chief John Watson have been found to be the true officials of the Western Cherokee. This should clearly show the defendants and associates were wrong in their take over attempt but they continue to refuse to abide by the Court Order. By a court ordered election which the defendants controlled they are now legally in control of the Western Cherokee future. Many people believe this ordered election was due to a filing by Timothy Spencer which was a threat of upward of 100 men, women and children would die defending the property if the judge held his ruling.
