It's quite embarrassing that some of our local elected officials are <br />wanting to limit our first amendments rights by adopting distance requirements for residential picketing in light <br />of recent demonstrations at Congressman Lou Correa's home, as well as demonstrations outside of his office <br />and outside of a reelection fundraiser for Mayor Amezcua. This is what comes with these positions of power; <br />constituents are demonstrating to elected officials that their representatives are not representing what is morally <br />right. This is especially true when said elected officials have been avoiding and willfully ignoring the interests <br />of their constituents, as well as acting in harmful ways. Residents want their voices to be heard and if their <br />representatives are not willing to meet and listen to them, they have had to resort to demonstrating as the only <br />means to be heard. Protestors are asking for the end to the genocide of Palestinian people and instead of calling <br />for a ceasefire to represent what the majority of their constituents want, Lou Correa and Valerie Amezcua are <br />being cowardice and coercive by trying to implement this ordinance. PLEASE DO NOT ADOPT THIS <br />ORDINANCE. <br />Respectfully, <br />Maria Ceja <br />
