From: Heather Aragon <br />To: 2Mayor <br />Subject: [External] Concerned Citizen <br />Date: Friday, July 16, 2021 12:30:07 PM <br />Hello, <br />I am contacting you in regards to the America First (Big Lie) rally that has been moved to the <br />convention center in Riverside. I am a resident of Riverside and am greatly proud of the <br />strides our City has made in the past few years. These two "politicians" are promoting values <br />that are wholly unamerican and I am extremely displeased that Riverside would allow this to <br />happen in our beautiful city. We have had enough division. These rallys bring hate and <br />violence with them and are designed to sow distrust in our democratically held elections. <br />Inclusivity is a great value and should be held to high regards, but not when the people we are <br />including are espousing hate, violence and rhetoric that has caused great devastation to the <br />American people, mainly by starting and then downplaying an insurrection on our capitol and <br />undermining a free and fair election. <br />Riverside should not be giving Matt Gaetz and Marjorie Taylor Greene (who are not our <br />representatives and it's not an election year so why are they rallying?) validation in their <br />perversely undemocratic views. <br />Thank you, <br />Concerned citizen <br />Heather Aragon <br />
