An 11-year-old girl from Portland, Ore. has been told that she can't sell mistletoe to help defray the cost of braces, but she can beg for the money on the city's streets.
According to KATU-TV, Madison Root and her father were selling bags of the hand-cut, hand-wrapped Christmas favorite Saturday morning next to the Skidmore Fountain in downtown Portland, where the city holds a weekly market. Everything was going well until a security guard told her that she had to stop selling due to a city ordinance that bans such activity in a park "except as expressly permitted under the terms of a lease, concession or permit."

Well, I hope she does not try to come beg in Salisbury, every corner is already taken.
God help us, because the City Council can't!
Why don't our sworn law enforcement officers uphold the laws of this city that they swore to do? There are laws on the books against vagrancy, panhandling, disturbing the peace, they need to enforce these laws and clean up our city, these bums make Salisbury look trashy.
Just keep selling it. Ignore the Obama establishment.
