To: Jim Ardis, Mayor of Peoria
Step Down Mayor Jim Ardis
Abuse of Power by getting a SWAT raid for a Parody Page on Twitter.
Why is this important?
This creates a bad precedence that allows public officials to Demand a Police Action for Parody on the basis of Vendetta. Parody is a Protected Act of Free Speech by the U.S. Supreme court. I mean, Tina Faye parodied Govenor Sara Palin and Sara Palin HATED it. But what if we were to go to jail for it? This Mayor wanted this guy Nailed to the wall and got a SWAT team to his house. With no real evidence other than a few posts pretending to be the mayor, because he was bored.
