Crime of one official
I was doing my morning reading when I discover this:
If anyone would like to get in touch the vice-mayor of Cambridge Mass here is her contact information.
Vice Mayor:Marjorie C. Decker(mdecker@cambridgema.gov)42 Linnaean Street, #3Cambridge, MA 02138(617) 547-1260 (H)(617) 349-4325 (W)
Be sure to excercise your freedom of speech and let her know just how you feel about her support for a group of protesters who heckled 11 year old David Smith. For those who don't know, the father of this boy was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions in Iraq. As David was leading the pledge of allegiance at the 230th Army birthday in Cambridge MA a group of protesters booed him, Ms. Decker supported the protesters.
I managed to stop short of refering to her as 'scum'...

Marjorie C. Decker
Vice Mayor
City of Cambridge
The son of a Congressional Medal of Honor winner, who is an eleven-year-old, was selected to lead the Pledge of Allegiance in your city. Adults (?) in the crowd harassed and booed the young man not allowing him his Constitutional right of free speech, the right his father earned for all of those people. As it turns out, this disruption was encouraged by a high ranking member of the city government; you. At the time you took your oath of office, I must assume that you did not raise your right hand, put your left on a Bible, and swear to defend the Constitution?
Marjorie Decker, you have an obligation as an official of a city within the United States too defend the Constitutional rights of all of the people in your city. It is fine for you to have your own personal beliefs and to express them, however you have stepped over the line. The current conflicts we are in are not Vietnam. The military is not made up of draftees from the poorest levels of our population, they are all volunteers defending your right to freedom.
You owe that young man and his family a public apology. I would request that you do so, not because of your beliefs, you have a right to those, but because of your failure as a public official to protect the rights of all in your city. The example you have set has brought shame to your city, state, and those you were hired to protect.
