The first amendment [guaranteeing free speech] is alive and well here in Herndon.

I didn't win, the Town of Herndon won. That is not trivia. The mood of the town has been one that they have wanted to change for a while. We campaigned on issues that were relevant to the problems.

You can expect camera crews and that it's going to be an historical election both in terms of the town and that of the national immigration issue. I welcome the attention to the issues, but I'm dismayed that it has been this emotional.
