A tense exchange unfolded during a Michigan city council meeting when a resident identifying himself only as “Jason, We the People” confronted council members over a proposed data center, constitutional rights, and what he described as a lack of transparency surrounding the project.
The confrontation began as Jason approached the podium to speak. “Hello. My name is Jason. I live at 1776 Boulevard. We’re here to talk about tonight…” he said, before being interrupted by a council member seeking clarification.
“Jason, What’s your last name and what’s your address?” the city council member asked.

“My last name is Jason, we the people, and my address is 1776 Boulevard,” Jason responded.
The exchange continued as the council member pressed for more specific information. “What city?” the council member asked.
“Freedom City,” Jason replied.
“Freedom City, in what state?” the council member asked.

“Michigan,” Jason said.
The council member then challenged the response, saying, “So I know you’re making all that up.”
Jason did not deny it. “Yeah, 100% because I don’t have to tell you anything, because it’s my fourth amendment, right. You know what that is? I think you need to learn the Fifth Amendment. Right? I don’t care about your article. According to Article Six, clause two, you’re trumped,” he said.
The council member cited local rules in response.
“According to the rules of the city council, you have to give your name, your property and address or you’re not allowed to speak,” the council member said.
Jason accused the council of placing local bylaws above constitutional protections.
“So do you think your bylaws Trump my constitutional rights? Because that’s the way it’s looking here. You think your little bylaws here Trump all these people’s constitutional rights? Remove me so I can sue the dog sh*t out of the city. Do it because I’ll make sure you don’t get no data center. Try me. 42 USC, 1983 baby. That’s my middle name. You want that name too?” he said.
Jason then turned his remarks toward the Fifth Amendment’s takings clause and the data center proposal.
“Now back to this Fifth Amendments, takings clause. You can’t use no takings clause. Einstein, guess what? That’s for public use. You understand that? You know what public use is, sharing a data center. It’s a park and old folks home, something like that. It’s the Fifth Amendment. It’s really not that complicated. You should look into it, by the way,” he said.
He accused council members of betraying residents. “How does it feel sitting up there being a Benedict Arnold to all your people out here, not one person supports this,” Jason said, before polling the audience.
“How about this? Everybody up here has been asking, who supports the data center. How about this? Who don’t support the data center?”
The question was met with applause from those in attendance.
Jason continued by raising concerns about environmental issues and potential conflicts of interest.
“Any other questions? Is there any other questions? Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder. Can see this one together? What remedy do you have for the forever chemicals? You don’t got none. So now you’re poisoning our land,” he said.
He also questioned whether foreign money or secrecy agreements were involved.
“Is there any foreign money involved in this. I’m pretty sure there is. Ain’t Whitler in some hot water over that. Also non disclosure agreements. Bad, bad news,” Jason said.
He urged residents to seek records. “I want everybody in this room who lives here to FOIA request every single non disclosure agreement from any council member, Mayor, anybody in this city, you need to FOIA who has one. You won’t be able to see what’s on it, but you’ll be able to see who has one. And then at that time, we got a real conflict of interest, don’t we?”
Jason closed by criticizing infrastructure decisions tied to the project.
“I think we would next thing, who are you having come in here that’s putting these underground generators? Oh, you’re not. You got these big old power lines going in right now that everybody’s talking about, what’s that? Yeah. I mean, have we already made our minds up? Huh? Seems that way. Well, anyway, here’s your people have fun,” he said.
