[Vision2020] City Council and the Pledge

[joekc at adelphia.net]

Donovan,

Do they need to be able to say it or to actually say it? Every day, once a week, or just once per election cycle? Isn't it more important that they believe it -- which is presumably why they have chosen to work in city government in the first place.

Best, Joe

If an elected leader cannot say, "Yes, I affirm my  allegiance to this country, state, county, and city FIRST.", I think  that disqualifies them from the position. Saying, "I am for Humans"  just does not cut it for me.
