- Bishop. Your are right on re LBPD. They are only here to Protect and Self Serve. They have no regard for the rest of the City and its fiscal problems. Their greed disgusts all tax payers.

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.
