Thanks for the ping. You and your husband are my kind of people! Mr Stoltzfus too.
The matter is a very simple First Amendment case. Mr. Stoltzfus is exercising free speech in the face of government, Mr. Polite, attempting to use the power of government to stifle Mr. Stoltzfus.
You could not find a more clear cut case, to be used as an example, when trying to explain the freedom of speech right affirmed by the First Amendment.
You might also not find, an easier example with which to demonstrate, that liberals commonly do not have any understanding of our Constitution.
For them, it is all about case law, the anti-democratic-republican, arbitrary, and capricious acts of their collective of "activist judges," with which they mean to abort original conception and substitute some continuum of "decisions" that echo whatever may be the socialists' pleasures, forcing law to adhere to their rule, instead of their adhering to the rule of law.
If I could have been there with your family, today, I would have liked to leave behind, a Cross of Lorraine, with Mr. Stoltzfus, which symbolizes not only Christianity, yet also resistance to government tyranny.
Back to the top. Lets follow this.
Im dumbfounded that this idiot holds public office. Why??!!
Its high time we put an end to this nonsense once and for all and rebuild from the damage that has been done to our country.
FReepers have more class then you have shown so far. You might want to think carefully about if this is the correct forum for you.

Great report thanks for the ping.
Thank you for the ping! I'm proud of you guys for so directly and personally showing your (our!) support for this good man. :-)
Another Lancaster resident here.
Please go easy on the rest of City Council; Nelson Polite doesn't speak for them on this issue.
David Stoltzfus is, needless to say, a very popular man right now.
