  • Someone must sue the City of Long Beach for using taxpayer money to support an event that ended up being private and political.

    The tax dollars of people I know were used for an event they were barred from. That is blatantly unconstitutional, and our city fathers must either recoup the taxpayer dollars that were spent (even if it's a single buck), or risk a trial.

    Let those who decided who marches and who doesn't collect money and repay the city. They spent MY money.
  • The columnist has failed to get his facts straight (no suprise). Mr. Ruhman is not a member of IVAW, but rather was a Vietnam Veteran.
  • Thank you, Mr. Cameron. You're right. Mr. Ruhman is indeed a Vietnam veteran.
  • Our parade was a feature story on Countdown with Keith Olberman on MSNBC the other night. He ripped the organizers a new one and with good reason.
  • Cameron says Theo Douglas didn't get his "facts" straight, and then cites just one fact. Does Cameron find his own error unsurprising?
  • I am just one more Vet who will never march in the Long Beach Veterans Day parade. I served four years for the freedom of expression, and no boddunk town is going to tell me what I can or cannot express.
