To: Mayor Valerie Amezcua and the Santa Ana City Council <br />I urge you to vote no on agenda item #24, it proposed ordinance that will restrict our right to protest in residential areas. The ordinance comes on the heels of a <br />series of protests in front of Congressman Lou Correa's house due to his continued silence as more and more elected officials and people across the country dill for <br />it Ceasefire in Gaza. <br />Since Mayor Amezcua's tenure at the city council, there has been it clear pattern by members of the council to curtail views they don't like including: lim ting <br />public comments, pushing agenda items on which young people have shown up to speak on to later into the night, and dismissing the results of the city's own <br />budget surveys only because resident's responses didn't a ign with their world view. <br />This proposed ordinance follows it dangerous pattern and it should be rejected by all members of the Santa Ana City Council. <br />first name ; Last name city ' State/Provincs' State/Province Abbr hated , Tip code, comments <br />Hairo <br />Cortes <br />Santa Ana <br />California <br />CA <br />92701 <br />Rebecca <br />Pasillas <br />Anaheim <br />California <br />CA <br />92801 <br />Lisette <br />Cruz <br />Santa Ana <br />California <br />CA <br />92704 <br />Jennifer <br />Lopez <br />Garden Grove <br />California <br />CA <br />92843 <br />Gerson <br />Cortes <br />Anaheim <br />California <br />CA <br />92701 <br />Jennifer <br />Lopez <br />Garden Grove <br />California <br />CA <br />92843 <br />Zeena <br />Aljawad <br />Laguna Niguel <br />California <br />CA <br />92677 <br />Valerie <br />Magdaleno <br />Santa Ana <br />California <br />CA <br />92703 <br />Penelope <br />Lopez <br />Anaheim <br />California <br />CA <br />92804 1 urge you to vote no on agenda item #24, a proposed <br />ordinance that will restrict our right to protest in residential <br />areas.

It must be voted against. It is repugnant and anti- <br />democratic. If city council attempts to restrict the right to <br />peacefully protest and violates our fundamental 1st <br />amendment right it will not be respected and it will incur <br />more protest which is your citizens' prerogative and duty. If <br />representatives are unwilling to hear dissenting opinions <br />and engage with voters exercising their 1 st amendment <br />rights, even when they disagree, then they are unfit for <br />public service and should immediately step down. This is a <br />gross violation of our rights. <br />If you are not fit to be a leader then do not choose to be <br />one. I am a lifetime resident of Santa Ana, currently <br />residing in Ward 5. This is completely unacceptable. <br />Whichever council members put this on the agenda should <br />Brandon <br />Gallegos <br />Santa Ana <br />California <br />CA <br />92707 <br />Tyler <br />Marine <br />Santa Ana <br />California <br />CA <br />92701 Free Palestine <br />Cecilia <br />Chavez <br />Tustin <br />California <br />CA <br />92780 Peaceful protest is a right. <br />Yesenia <br />Altamirano <br />Anaheim <br />California <br />CA <br />92805 <br />Yesenia <br />Altamirano <br />Anaheim <br />California <br />CA <br />92805 <br />Yelitza <br />Vazquez <br />Fullerton <br />California <br />CA <br />92831 <br />1 <br />
