HILLSBOROUGH BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AFTERNOON SESSION

MY NAME IS MARC J. RANDAZZA, AND I AM HERE TO SPEAK AGAINST THIS ORDINANCE.

I'D LIKE TO SHOW SOME GREAT RESPECT TO COUNCILMAN SCOTT, WHO SAID EARLIER, DURING AN EARLIER PRESENTATION, THAT HE BELIEVED IN KEEPING HIS WORD TO HIS CONSTITUENTS. 

ALL OF YOU GAVE YOUR WORD WHEN YOU TOOK OFFICE.  

YOU DID MORE THAN THAT.

YOU TOOK AN OATH.

YOU TOOK AN OATH TO UPHOLD AND DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES AND THE STATE OF FLORIDA.

YOU TOOK THAT OATH ON THE BIBLE TO PROTECT THE CONSITUTION, NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND.
 
IF YOU DO NOT LIKE THE MESSAGE THAT THESE CLUBS, THAT THESE BUSINESSES TRANSMIT, THAT IS YOUR RIGHT, THAT IS YOUR PREROGATIVE.

I SAW A PARTICULARLY INSPIRING STORY ON THE HISTORY CHANNEL ABOUT THE LAWYER WHO DEFENDED THE NAZIS' MARCH ON SKOKIE.

NAZIS.

THERE'S A PLACE IN OUR SOCIETY FOR EVEN PEOPLE AS LOW AS NAZIS, AND A JEWISH LAWYER TOOK THAT CASE BECAUSE HE LOVED HIS COUNTRY, HE LOVED OUR CONSTITUTION MORE THAN HE LOVED HIS DESIRE TO CENSOR THEIR MESSAGE.

THAT IS THE CHALLENGE I'M THROWING DOWN TO YOU.

YOU'VE GOT TO LOOK INSIDE YOURSELVES AND BELIEVE IN THAT OATH YOU TOOK MORE THAN YOU BELIEVE IN THE CENSORSHIP THAT A FEW RADICAL ELEMENTS AND OUTSIDE INDIVIDUALS ARE PUSHING YOU TO PROMOTE RIGHT NOW.  

THEY ARE PUSHING YOU TO PROMOTE AN UNCONSTITUTIONAL AND ANTIFREEDOM AGENDA.

THEY'RE USING THE GOOD PEOPLE OF TAMPA BAY AS THEIR PAWNS.

TAKE THE PEOPLE OF THIS AREA OFF THE CHESS BOARD. 

THE PUBLIC SHOULD BE OUTRAGED.

IF YOU THINK IT WILL END HERE, YOU'RE WRONG.
THIS IS WHERE THE TALIBAN, THE NAZIS, THE COMMUNISTS -- THEY ALL BEGAN WITH SOCIAL CONTROL LIKE THIS, AND AS A PATRIOTIC AMERICAN, I BELIEVE THE CONSTITUTION SHOULD AND 
WILL PREVAIL AND PROTECT US ALL IF YOU DO NOT.

THANK YOU.
