'Banned' Because of His Name
RECEIVED Mon., Oct. 8, 2012
Dear Editor,
Here is something to add to your report about the judge's ruling against the city of Austin's attempt to "ban" protesters [“Judge: City of Austin Policy Violates Free Speech,” Newsdesk blog, Sept. 27]. I was also "banned" earlier, not for protesting, but because Austin's mayor doesn't like how I choose to pronounce my own name. Huh? Type my name, Ronnie Reeferseed, into any search engine to read about how Mayor Leffingwell is exposed to be a sadly confused, so-called "public servant" who needs to review his oath of office, to put it mildly. Denial of anyone's constitutional rights is not among his duties. After seven months, I was let back in, but still am only allowed to address those criminals 25 percent of the time during "Citizens Communication" segments. Somebody please give me the name of a good lawyer to sue these tyrants!
