REGULAR MEETING MAY 11, 2009 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Robert McCarthy, 815 ½ N. Main Street, Mishawaka, Indiana, stated that there is a <br />blatant discrepancy in the City of South Bend and that is that at the beginning of the <br />Council meeting everyone stood up and faced the Flag and recited the Pledge of <br />Allegiance to this great nation. He noted the words “With Liberty and Justice for All”, <br />but currently in South Bend not everyone is included in the “Justice for All” part of that. <br />He stated that he is a straight white man who has not experienced these injustices, but <br />knows of family and friends who have experienced these act of prejudice on a daily basis. <br />He stated that he is here tonight to demand the South Bend Common Council amend the <br />Human Rights Ordinance to include the GLBT community. He stated that it has always <br />been his view that people are people regardless of what category we put them into. He <br />stated that we as people all deserve the same rights under the protection of the law. He <br />stated that the South Bend Common Council has ability and responsibility to ensure that <br />everyone who lives and works in South Bend can finally be included in the phase “With <br />Liberty and Justice for All.” <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />ADJOURNMENT <br /> <br /> <br />There being no further business to come before the President Derek D. Dieter adjourned <br />the meeting at 8:33 p.m. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />ATTEST: ATTEST: <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />____________________________ ____________________________ <br />John Voorde, City Clerk Derek D.
