Has anyone else received this bs? I stand with Long. I personally dont see that he did anything wrong. This was emailed to me through moveon Dear MoveOn member, Im Nancy Brenner, a MoveOn member in Murrieta, CA, and I started a petition to Murrieta City Council , which says: The Mayor of Murrieta, Alan Long, openly incited a hostile mob that bombarded and harassed a bus full of child refugees. These actions are a clear violation of the City Councils Code of Conduct Policies and justify an official reprimand by the Council as stated by their internal policies. We are calling on the Murrieta City Council to follow the Code of Conduct for elected officials and censure Mayor Alan Long now! Sign Nancys petition I am a resident of Murrieta, and I believe that Mayor Alan Long should be censured for violating Murrietas Code of Conduct and inciting an anti-immigrant mob that has damaged our Citys reputation! After Mayor Long made the time and location of the refugee transfer public and called on residents to send a strong message to Washington DC, a hostile crowd reacted by harassing a bus made up of mostly women and children from Central America and blocking their safe transfer to Border Control. News outlets everywhere caught this anti-immigrant mob waving signs comparing the refugees to wet dogs, and even spitting in someones face. Although many of these protestors were not even from Murrieta, the national coverage of this incident has stained the reputation of our community. I know of good citizens in Murrieta who in no way share the sentiments of these extremists. Many in Murrieta reject this protest and do not believe it reflects the values of our c ity and the United States. Mayor Long and others took action that not only harms our reputation, but violates our Citys Code of Conduct as well. The Murrieta Code of Conduct requires elected officials to refrain from participating in negative activity and avoid personal attacks against fellow officials, staff and the public to insure the reputation and integrity of those individuals and the city. But this hostile mob can be traced directly to Mayor Longs press conference and subsequent Facebook posts about the transfer of refugees. Hes even said that hes proud of what happened! Our City Councils Code of Conduct also tells elected officials: Murrietas voting citizens are the ultimate enforcers of this code. However, I fully understand that I am subject to the City Councils commendation or censorship, depending upon my ability to exemplify the ethical behavior promoted by this code. Im calling on the Murrieta City Council to follo w the Code of Conduct for elected officials and censure Mayor Alan Long now!
