Ed Thank you for following up on our First Amendment Rights that are being abused by St Augustine Beach Commissioner(s), city attorney and the city manager. I really do believe that here in St Augustine Beach we need classes being held to teach our so called leaders the true meaning of Liberty and our First Amendment Rights.
It was Commissioners Samora and England that started the erosion to shorten our time to speak on agenda items from 3 minutes to 2 minutes and that opened the door for more restrains on our liberties and freedom of speech. No where in the First Amendment did I see that the speech is limited just another man made law.
This is the reason that I truly do believe that the SAB Incorporated needs to be dissolved. They do nothing for the residents and the resident needs only what benefits them as they sit on their high seats and look down on the TRUE believers in our U. S. Constitution. They are truly clueless!
Thank you again Ed Slavin for your continued fight for our rights
