By affixing your name to this petition you are rejecting the racist, mysoginist, and unamerican comments recently voiced by Belmar NJ Mayor Ken Pringle. His recent comments about Staten Islanders, Women, and Italian Americans who visit Pringles Summer Town, include "We think of Guidos as a kind of rare bird: They flock to our shore towns during the warm months, and are as welcome as, oh, Canada geese," ......They're always tanned to the color of coconut shells" "The call of the Guido is bellowing, and frequently slurred, invariably starting with the sound, 'Yo,' followed all too often by some creative variation on an expletive beginning with the letter 'F. "We're not sure if the glass was stuck to her hand 'cause of all the hair spray or if this is a technique Staten Island girls learn in Brownies," Pringle wrote Your signature on this petition is to support the initiative to Recall Mayor Pringle. Join us in sending the signal to elected officials, that Americans deserve representation that is fair, equal, and demonstrates the expectation of US citizens that all men are created equal. Thank you for your support.
