On January 24, 2017, the
Claremont City Council will decide whether or not Claremont will become a
SANCTUARY CITY. Please attend and tell the council not to declare
Claremont a sanctuary city and to rescind all illegal sanctuary policies.
How this came about:
in December, 25 people spoke during public comment and urged the Council
to declare Claremont a sanctuary city. Their pleas were about bringing
"people out of the shadows" and 'equal treatment for all
people", etc. Their urgency was to have Claremont declared a
Sanctuary City as a rebuff against any action President Trump may take to
withhold Federal Funding to Sanctuary Cities.
We are anticipating
those in favor of Sanctuary City status will be at the Council meeting in large
numbers; college professors, students, liberal residents and people not from
Claremont but who are working hard to have as many Sanctuary cities in CA as
possible. They are well organized.
I am asking for your
help in countering the onslaught of liberals and illegal alien
sympathizers who are trying hard to influence Claremont to make this
declaration.
How you can help:
1. Call
Claremont City Council, Mayor and City Manager. (Councilmembers and
Mayor have the same City number, so please call each of them separately, rather
than just using one call for all). The City Manager has a different
number.
Mayor Sam Pedroza,
909 399-5444 spedroza@ci.claremont.ca.us
Councilman Corey
Calaycay, 909 399-5444 ccalaycay@ci.claremont.ca.us
Councilman Opanyi
Nasiali, 909 399-5444 onasiali@ci.claremont.ca.us
Councilman Joe Lyons,
909 399-5444 jlyons@ci.claremont.ca.us
Councilman, Larry
Schroeder, 909 399-5444 lschroeder@ci.claremont.ca.us
City Manager: Tony Ramos
909 399-5441 tramos@ci.claremont.ca.us
2. Please
email each Councilman, and voice your opposition.
3. Lastly, please,
if you can, join us at the meeting on January 24th at:
Claremont City Council
225 West 2nd Street
Claremont, CA 91711
Council Meeting: January
24th, 2017 starts at 6:30p.m. (Arrive early if you can).
Your presence is
important, so please address the Council, let them know of your opposition and
why. If you agree with another speaker, and don't want to say a lot,
simply state: "I just want to say, I agree with the speakers
opposing this Resolultion." Your voice will then be counted, don't
let the Council assume you are supporting the other side.
You don't have to live
in Claremont to speak.
Thank you so much, so
very much. Many of us have spoken at neighboring Councils fighting this
fight, and we have been successful at times. There are some Democrats in
Claremont who are very much against becoming a Sanctuary City, and I am hoping
they will speak up too.
I am grateful for all
your help. Thank you for anything you can do.
NOTE: New article
and poll shows the majority of Californians oppose sanctuary cities and
policies.

Claremont Resident
