Rick,

During the Mayorial debates you and Audrey Moran both said that you were assamed of Jacksonville and that the apparent discrimination/rasism (paraphrased) regarding Ahmed Parvez.

As a former prosecutor you obviously know how to research and investigate.  You are also able to determing legal rulings and findings. 

A cursory investigation would determing that not a single racist or bigoted statment was made regarding this man.  Only verifyable facts, statements, and court documents were submitted to the city council and mayors office.

This was done with information form Frank Gaffney Jr. Center for Security Policy, Joe Smidtz former Inspector General of the DOD, Ed Soyster, Former Defense Intelligence Agency Director, John Guandolo, Former FBI Agent who wrote the Training Manual for the FBI in regard to the Muslim Brotherhood in America and many others, yet you made your statements implying it was racially motivated.

You seemed to get on the politically expedient bandwagon with Mayor Peyton and former Mayor Delaney despite the facts which are easily understood.

I hope you have had time to reflect on these facts and would love the opportunity to speak with you about them at some point.  I hope you have an open mind and the ability and courage to stand with truth and conviction despite a previous stance.

I will pray for you and each of our leaders and candidates to have wisdom, integrity, and courage to stand for truth always despite attacks from those who do not.

I pray you will lead in such a manner!
