Letter to Illinois US Congressional Representatives and Senators and Quincy City Officials:
Swat Team Confronts Peaceful Citizens Expressing Their Opinions – Quincy, Illinois, April 29, 2010
You folks really have to pay closer attention to what’s going on in the United States.
Calling out the swat team was a bad idea. They weren’t dealing with a mob as some in Congress have misguidedly stated. The Tea Party movement isn’t the SDS. These folks are law-abiding taxpayers who are exercising their First Amendment rights. They’re veterans, grandparents and younger people who believe in expressing their opinions as guaranteed by the Constitution.
I’ve been to DC and New York events and haven't seen one unlawful incident. We’ve expressed our appreciation to the police, followed their directions and thanked them for their protection and service – we even cleaned up after ourselves.
The City of Quincy, State of Illinois and the Nation have nothing to fear from us — just keep telling the truth and honoring your oath to uphold the Constitution.
