NORTH COUNTY ---- An attorney for state Sen. Bill Morrow filed a lawsuit Monday asking a Superior Court judge to force the Carlsbad Unified School District to rescind its superintendent's cancelation of a town-hall meeting on immigration, the attorney said.
Attorney Peter Lepiscopo, who represents Morrow, said he expects a judge to decide within a day or two whether the meeting, originally scheduled for Thursday, can be held at the Carlsbad Community Cultural Arts Center on the Carlsbad High School campus.
Morrow described the lawsuit as a "last resort" and an effort to protect free speech.

#18 - Jim Gilchrist possibly to run for public office.
#20 - State Senator Bill Morrow wins a court order to open a public forum on illegal alien immigration at the Carlsbad, California high school.
CARLSBAD SCHOOL SUPT MUST COMPLY WITH THE FIRST AMENDMENT ! ! !
California State Senator Bill Morrow wins a big victory for the 1st Ammendment! His courage in fighting this battle is rewarded as School Superintendent John ("Cock")Roach caves in instead of going to court.
The Senator asked the court to prohibit Supt. Roach's cowardly pretext of the "Hecklers Veto". Senator Morrow's attorney received a letter approximately 5 PM today, Tuesday August 9th from Carlsbad School District acknowledging the merits of the Senator's argument.
Even the North County Times' Editorial Staff openly castigated Roach and the Board of Trustees, which is unusual.
Most newspapers take a "politically correct" stance on illegal immigration.

So the forum is back on, same place, same time:
When: Thursday, August 11th
Time: 7-9 pm
Carlsbad Community Cultural Arts Center
3557 Monroe St.
Carlsbad, CA 92008
If you're not familiar with the story so far, Superintendent (Cock) Roach reneged on a signed contract reserving the school district's cultural center because the decided our meetings are too "violence-prone."
He allowed the Mexican Consulate to issue matricula consular IDs at a "school fair," but American citizens conducting open discussion and debate on immigration must be silenced!

I told them it's clear that they don't recognize rational requests, only demands, shouts and court action. If that's what we have to do to win, it's a small price to pay.

Very good.
I know Senator Bill Morrow. This guy is a former U.S. Marine Corps officer and a rock-solid conservative. Bill is a real gentleman and statesman, but you wouldn't want to face him in a cage fight. Tougher than a two-dollar steak. Believe me.
GREAT news! I'll pass it along to my CA friends.
Do I see an image of the Star Ship Enterprise in the upper left corner of the first picture? Good grief, talk about a real "alien" problem
I am elated that the town hall meeting will proceed! It is the only proper course of action. I don't think the school will get damaged one bit. And if by some remote chance it does, the school district should sue the pro-illegal radicals for any damage they cause.
Morrow to replace Boxer, or Feinstein!!!
Why don't we see if we can get the Title modified to reflect the news?
Maybe even put into breaking news?
Now, wouldn't THAT be sumthin'????????
Just sent you an Frepnote, you can ignore it!
I chose to answer you. I'm a girl. It's my right. :)
Dalereed has some good things to say about the guy!
OK, persnickity female!!
mumble...mumble...
I have my hopes up. Guardedly, but up nonetheless.
Let's see how this all plays out....I'll be his number one cheerleader if need be.
LOL!!!
