*By Vincentt Garofalo Santa Monica*

As a political activist who has been working on the Third Street Promenade for six years, I would like to say how proud I feel to have a public forum in the city of Santa Monica, where I can express my political opinions.

And even though there are times we may not always agree on the issues, it does seem that we all make compromises that bring us together in unity.

So that is why I would personally like to thank the city of Santa Monica and the Bayside Corporation for their continuing effort to make sure that we all have the right to express ourselves freely on the Third Street Promenade.
