Eric Scheidler Speaks at Aurora, IL Hearing
Last night, the city of Aurora, Illinois held a hearing asking for public input on proposed changes to their “Peddling Ordinance.” The problem stems from a glut of unwanted advertising newspapers piling up on local citizens’ porches.
But rather than restricting unwanted newspapers, the solution the city has proposed for this problem stands to muzzle free speech in our community by requiring citizens to seek the government’s permission to exercise their 1st Amendment rights!
Find out more about the egregiously unconstitutional and undemocratic changes in Eric Scheidler‘s comments in the YouTube video above and in my blog post on the previous hearing on this topic.
