Subject: Results of your decision
Hello, please forward this email to your mayor and city council members for me. Thank you.
Dear elected officials,
Among other things, my team and I work to find the perfect locations for corporate events/conventions on
behalf of our clients. We fully intended to hold another upcoming event in Anaheim, just as we have
recommended in the past.
I learned, however, that you (via Mike Lyster) made the decision to cancel an event of Rep. Matt Gaetz and
Marjorie Taylor Greene. Your goal is very pellucid ... to shut down free speech because you don't like what they
have to say. Your decision ends my company's interest in recommending Anaheim locations for any events
going forward.
America is not a socialist or communist country where Big Brother stifles people from speaking freely. Now
that your true colors have been put on display for all to see, I regret that we have recommended and held
various corporate events in Anaheim in the past.
What you have done is of vital concern to many Americans. Because of your decision, we are pulling out of
Anaheim and as a result you should lose millions of dollars from clients I and others have. We will instead send
our clients to cities that embrace the value of supporting all people regardless of their political affiliation or
beliefs.
Sincerely,
Kandy Schendel
