Subject:A Libertarians opinion on sanctuary state
There are nine model ordinances the ACLU suggests.
As a libertarian, I am primarily concerned that the lives of my fellow citizens of Butte County and I are left in
peace to do as we choose unless we do something that harms others or our environment (which harms things for
future generations). American law also states a person is innocent until proven guilty.
ALL of the suggestions by the ACLU, in my opinion protect the rights of my fellow Butte County citizens. I say
citizen, meaning that a human being in Butte County should be presumed to be a citizen unless they are doing
something (committing a crime,trying to apply for benefits, or a job) where a person needs to prove their
citizenship.
Do NOT fall into the trap of labeling something as right our left leaning. Look at something and judge whether
it is in the best interests of the people of this county.
I believe that this will protect our people.
Sincerely,
Meredith Sanders O'Rourke
