Less than a commercial break. Less time than most microwave dinners take to cook. Our county officials clearly misunderstand their role in our democratic system. Our 1st amendment is our 1st because it is the most sacred. One must hope our federal court system finds justice in this case. We all deserve the right to speak to our elected officials, especially for 3 minutes or less.
