CURTAILING FREEDOM OF SPEECH......

I just wrote an email to my Phoenix City Councilman. This to me, is an effort by our Council Members or the Arizona Republic to curtail negative statements to our public officials. After I wrote it, this is the message that came up:

I DO NOT WANT a left leaning newspaper reading my emails; so of course I did not send my email. But I did take the time to call in my opposition to increasing city employee compensation and raising taxes rather than cutting expenditures.

 

IF YOU LIVE IN PHOENIX AND CANNOT MAKE THE BUDGET MEETING TODAY, CALL YOUR COUNCIL MEMBER.

We were informed at a past 4th of July event held at Indian Steel Park that we needed to go to the "free speech zone" if we wanted to display signs of protest to the illegal alien invasion. This crap has to stop, NOW!

I am one of those at fault. Over the years we have allowed these people to fly under the radar. Now we are paying the price. However, we need to keep our nose to the grindstone and do what we can to correct this. When I read the constitution, I don't recall freedom of speech as being in designated areas only. Maybe next time we should ask Nancy Pelosi if we can get a "waiver."

There is no such thing as a "free speech zone".  All of this country is a free speech zone, and if the illegals don't like it they know how to get back to their homeland. Bye!

Same thing happened to me.

And naturally no council member replies. My email was the budget deficit is eerily similar to the cost of running the first 20 miles of Light Rail, which is $35 million a year. Budget deficit, $39 million a year.

Council woman was gushing about how wonderful running LR to south Phoenix would be. Answer, horrendously expensive and inefficient. $90 million per mile to build, will buy 120 NEW BUSES.

Go to mesawatch.com to read analysis of Light Rail.
