Nausea overwhelmed me this morning. Our community is being consumed by hatred and bigotry to the degree not seen since the era of the 1960’s. Years ago many of us watched our black and white televisions in horror as blind hatred over took emotions in racial riots that proceeded the 1964 Civil rights Act. Do we really need to return to the age of the Ku Klux Klan and John Birch Society? Even though I respect everyone’s right of free speech, elected officials have the sworn duty to protect and serve our community without prejudice.

No on Olive branch. "ALC" why are you trying to be the peace maker when you BLAST anybody of a different position. These Muslims must appologize first for infringing on an american's free speech. This is something they didn't have where they came from and appears they want to stop freedom of speech here, with YOUR help it might happen. Take your olive branch and hand it to your friend ,if you can find one.
