minutes thank you mayor City Council of Mesa Arizona I'm lay Brothers Steven Gerard saidlovsky and I've given you a packet I know you can't respond but just to let you know you're going to get a Bible bookmark there's important information on the back of the Bible book Mark II so if you want to email or talk to me in the future um I'm delighted to let you know that the second item you got is the Arizona March for Life a flyer that's been handed out and it was well attended this year I would estimate well over 5 000 people attended the Arizona March for Life at the state capitol myself being one of those individuals I tend to travel the country finding City councils to talk to so on the back of your flyer the league of cities provided me the 18 Charter cities that exist in the state of Arizona it's important to know that if we're going to do new pro-life personhood possibilities in the state you first start with cities with Charters and that's why I'm speaking before all of you because we now have the ability with the U.S Supreme Court transitioning into the new direction of the Dobbs era where your citizens and city council and Leadership can say hey we're already a personhood City we're already a pro-life City and Mesa is Family Values are safe in Mesa but you still have to go ahead and put that language in your city Charter I've already provided you a third item it's the newspaper article of the Lorraine Morning Journal my hometown of Lorain Ohio it's the first paper in the United States to publish the personhood language that can be adopted by any city in the United States of America of course we have to start with Charter cities first so I'm delighted to let you know that I've already spoken briefly at Scottsdale the mayor of Peoria has already thanked me for speaking at Peoria earlier in the week and I hope to get to maybe one or two other cities before I leave the area including Prescott I have to be at the March for Life rally in Sacramento in another week or so so you can see my schedule is very busy please feel free and email me with questions maybe you want to have a study session do not leave me out of your Communications because I believe I'm one of the top five personal speakers in the United States I believe my engineering background at Purdue will be beneficial I believe my MBA at Xavier University where I was part of students for life will also add to the decorum and the communication probably a few other things I should be saying but feel free and text me if you would like to meet me on the side and do a table talk God bless you all thank you for your great love of the city of Mesa thank you Mr sudlowski next we'll hear from William Voigt sir thank you we don't clap that's all right William Boyd is Mr
