In the city of Brea today, one cannot attend something as simple as “Back to School Night” to meet their children’s teachers or any other school or youth function without some sort of political announcement shoved into one’s hands.
I realize that there is freedom of speech, freedom to campaign, freedom to endorse whom you choose, freedom of this and that.

Come on guys, be more considerate and leave us all alone!
