Below is an email that Ruthi sent to our Alaskan State legislature - Lance Pruitt & Cathy Giessel
I am a tax paying voting citizen of Anchorage, Alaska (since 1971). I am not a paid protestor.
Please introduce/support legislation for criminal justice reform. Reject “law and order” rhetoric. Check this site out for “19 Actual Statistics About America's Prison System.” I thought #1 and #2 disturbing. (https://mic.com/articles/86519/19-actual-statistics-about-america-s-prison-system#.dg7Q7xMJE)
Our country is built upon the Constitution! The right “to peaceably assemble” and “petition the Government” are fundamental elements of the 1st Amendment. Please protect Alaskan citizens’ rights to protest!
Thank you,
Ruthi Muffler
