In the Saturday edition of The Florida Times Union there was an article that talks about Matt Schellenberg drafting legislation that would block reappointment of Parvez Ahmed to the City's Human Rights Commission without ever mentioning his name.  Councilman Matt Schellenberg is asking the council to shrink the 20 member commission to 11 seats. He is asking that the council to act on an emergency basis, adopting the bill the same day that it is introduced, to avoid confirming Ahmed and three others Mayor Alvin Brown named for new terms last month.

     Schellenberg said his bill is aimed at the board size, not the members. He stated that the vast majority of about 70 city boards have 11 members or fewer. Usually seven to nine.

     If you are able to access the article in the TU it might be helpful to others if you could post it in the comment section below. I am not able to do so.

     It is my understanding that this bill will introduced tomorrow night during the regular City Council meeting.

     Again, if you are able to attend and be prepared to speak to the issue should the opportunity present itself it would be a show of support for the legislation which ultimately while even if unintended would prevent the appointment of Mr. Ahmed to the Commission.

     I must admit that I am somewhat confused about this next piece of information and at this hour I have no way to verify and share the facts with you. 

     I am told that before any vote for "reappointment" (Mr.Ahmed) to the Humans Rights Commission could occur the issue would have to go back through the Rules Committee and then go on to City Council. (Which I understood might happen on 2/26). I have received an email tonight which indicates that in fact there will be a vote on the reappointment of Mr. Ahmed. So, will it go through Rules tomorrow morning? Will there be a vote on this tomorrow at 5PM?  Why would you have an emergency vote to reduce the size of the HR Commission and then this vote?   I am usually pretty good with logic but this one has me going in a circle.

    With that all said one thing is for sure, the meeting begins at 5PM Tuesday (tomorrow) and it should be interesting. We need to have a presence in support of the emergency bill offered up by Councilman Schellenberg and in opposition should there be a vote on the reappointment of Mr. Ahmed to the Human Rights Commission.  If there is an opportunity to speak to either of these issues please be prepared, and offer up your voice.

     I am adding the following as supporting information should you be able to attend.

     The following information is copied from the message I sent out previously which explains the issues around the reappointment of Pavez Ahmed.

     Please Review the following few documents and video and plan on being at the City Council to have your voice heard on this matter.
      Human Rights Commission’s across America have been targeted by 57 Islamic Nations know as the Organization of Islamic Cooperative (OIC) to implement their “10 Year Plan” to among other things…criminalize any speech offensive to Islam, the Prophet Muhammad, or Muslims irrespective of the veracity of the speech. Professor Parvez Ahmed, the former National Chairman of the Propaganda Arm of HAMAS in America known as (CAIR) is being considered for reappointment to the Jacksonville Human Rights Commission. As Chairman of CAIR, Parvez worked directly with the (OIC) and appears to be using his position to continue to further their objectives, objectives which are diametrically opposed to the United States Constitution!

Quick Facts! Five Reasons Parvez Ahmed should NOT Be Reappointed!
1. Mr. Ahmed was a member of CAIR Florida for (6) years and the National Chairman for (4) years. The Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) was designated as a Muslim Brotherhood Entity (specifically the Palestine Committee) in Federal Court (US vs. HLF Trial 2008). The Muslim Brotherhoods Palestine Committee (aka HAMAS) has established branches worldwide to fund HAMAS. HAMAS is on the United States list of federally designated Terrorist Organizations. As such, CAIR is factually a HAMAS entity in America.
2. Mr. Ahmed recently wrote an article calling to repeal certain aspects of the First Amendment if such speech offends Muslim Sensibilities; citing the Mohammad Cartoons and subsequent riots a reason to criminalize these freedoms.
3. Mr. Ahmed was formally halted from conducting "Islamic Sensitivity Training" to the FBI in 2009 and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) followed suit after CAIR was named a Co-Conspirator in funding Hamas.
4. MR. Ahmed has used his position to influence many groups via “Sensitivity Training” since his appointment.
5. During Mr. Ahmed’s tenure on the HRC, The ACLU attempted to remove prayer from the City Council. (Note: Parvez Ahmed is a longtime AT Large leader of the Florida ACLU. In addition the HRC brought the 2012 “Anti Discrimination bill” supporting SPECIAL RIGHTS for the Lesbian, Gay, Bi-Sexual and Transgender Community. Counter Christian Culture!
