Great news!! You get taxed. Wouldn't be nice to get taxed... TWICE?! I know we all enjoy paying taxes - now we get them twice. With the Carlsbad "immigration rally". Who should we thank?!
Bill Morrow. He represents the people of Carlsbad and the Carlsbad Unified School District. Bill Morrow threaten to sue, if they did not allow his stacked anti-immigration rally to spew hate. John Roach, Superintendent of Carlsbad Unified School District, refused the anti-immigration rally access to school property. Roach's reason being that this may cause undue cost and damage to the school district and it's property. A cost that would be passed on to students, teachers, and supplies.
Yet Bill Morrow persisted in having the forum. Threatening to sue the Carlsbad Unified School District because he felt it violated his right to free speech... and his run for Congress in the 50th Congressional district. The now open seat, vacated seat by Randy "Duke" Cunningham and his alleged poor judgement real estate dealings with military contractors, has many a Republicans jockeying for position.
It's too bad that our own state senator Bill Morrow would turn his back on our city and schools, for his own political gain. Other agree...
[...]
"Lewis called the Morrow forum a 'political gimmick' designed to give the state senator public attention as he runs to replace Rep. Randy 'Duke' Cunningham, R-Escondido, in the 50th congressional district.
'I'm a Republican,' Lewis said, 'but I'm not a stupid Republican, and I resent it.'
Lewis said Morrow added insult to injury by suing the school district for legal fees accrued in Morrow's suit to compel the district to allow the forum.
'My taxpayers are getting hit twice,' Lewis said. 'Once for the folly of the forum, and again for the suit against the district. We're getting double whammied by him.'
Morrow's aides and the school district originally scheduled the forum in July. But when Carlsbad schools superintendent John Roach canceled the forum on Aug. 7, citing violence at previous events when the two groups came together, Morrow sued, claiming that his First Amendment right to free speech had been violated. Roach subsequently reinstated the forum. The controversy was widely covered in newspapers and on the daytime AM talk-radio shows.
Morrow, who advertised the forum with a flier e-mailed to supporters, blamed the resulting flap for attracting protesters that caused the need for the large police presence.
[...]
It's also my understanding that Bill Morrow is looking for the groups that attended the event with the puropse of agitating at the forum.
I think he can start with the following groups.
The Minute Man Project - http://www.minutemanhq.com/project/info/contact.html
KOGO 600 and Roger Hedgecock - http://www.rogerhedgecock.com/contact.html
