Esquivel's record on public forums

Four years ago, when open government and Dixon transparency award recipient Marty Esquivel joined the board, citizens were entitled to two minutes every two weeks to exercise their constitutionally protected human rights to free speech and to petition one's government.

Four years later, your opportunity to petition your government is still only two minutes every two weeks. Unless of course you use your two minutes to speak truth to power. Unless you use your two minutes to tell the inconvenient truth.

If you follow this link, and follow the link in the post,
you can watch Marty Esquivel having me arrested by
the APS Police Department; his publicly funded private
police force.

Now imagine yourself sometime in the next for years
standing at the podium at a public forum wanting
to speak candidly, forthrightly and honestly to power,

who would you rather be wielding the gavel
that protects or denies your right to speak,
Marty Esquivel, or me?

And yet another free plug for Esquivel from the journal this morning. He is the cause of the blankety blank advisories!The kids, the teachers and half the parents that even bother to show up hate it! He is so corrupt, he must go!
